Sun is up on Sunday! Went on the biweekly bum safari this morning. Been going every Sat-Sun morning4-5am for years. Had one making funny faces at me and the wife. We laughed our asses off. They are all on the north side of downtown Portland. One of them has a mansion tent that extends into the street. He’s the Culo of the streets. Must be nice getting free food three times a day plus snacks.

Weighed the 89mm J35 English Racing Spec today! x5 pistons were 372g, x1 piston was 371g. All six wrist pins were 137g. These are going into my 1000hp build. I will have to build a connecting rod weighing scale Contraption you accurately calculate the weights of the small and large side. This is done to have balance with higher than standard RPMs in a built motor.

J37 throttlebody came in from my buddy at Acura. He’s flying to California tomorrow to pick up his MRP TL-S 6MT! Bet he’ll sell his 5AT within 12 weeks! The J35 TB was set inside the J37 TB, and what a difference!! More flow and cooler temps will come of this. Cooler temps because of the lack of bottle neck. This will ease the strain on the M90 pulling air in, and thus the engine.

Did some research and saw a guy who turboed his J30 using headers and down pipe from OBX Racing. It seems they sell(sold) the manifold required to turbo! Will it fit a J32/35?

TL Type-S still sleeps. I promise she will be 1000whp someday.

My brother came over to change his first serpentine belt. He is interested in a forced induction system. Wanted Rotrex until I told him he would lose his air con. Now he wants turbo as he doesn’t like the sound of the roots style whine. When I told him I’ll develop the Comptech MP90 and he would save a lot of money he seemed to love the Roots whine..

You can see a bit of what they looked like before porting.

Had my intercooler plate openings enlarged to fit the intake manifold opening as well as the supercharger opening. Ty is will lessen restriction.

Current state of the engine bay! I post these pics because my failures and mistakes may help someone avoid them. There is a certain humility in admitting mistakes. The path to success is made of mostly failures. This is only one stepping stone to great things to come.

These rotors are toast. They have deep chips in them and on bad bearing.

It’s great that the failure happened where it did. To recover this S/C case, one must one shave the high spots and put in my back up rotor module.

It wasn’t the needle bearings that failed like originally thought. It was one of the bearings on the rotor module. The supercharger oil was fresh yet cloudy, like the seal on a bearing failed. One reason for this is by overfilling the S/C oil reservoir with oil... I put in 230ml. This was from a couple google searches. I’ll call Eaton to get the official quantity.

My oh my fellas. These are the humbling things most done share on their journey. But it’s the failures we have that are the roots of our strength. Not sharing them is an injustice to the masses. There was once someone who said they will share what they know once they finish their build. But we all know no one truly finishes their build.
