try mine out sometime next year bud, got the uprated dog bone and the gearbox mount, will be putting the upper engine mount on in the new year, tho the juddering hasnt gone completely but thats totaly down to my fucked clutch lol engine is very tight in there no increase in vibration that ive...
ffs lay off people, the engine failing has nothing to do with his engine build skills in the slightest a hose on a oil cooler burst, if ktec did it and the cutomers oil cooler pipe burst do you think they would be repairing it atall? nice one, get it all back up together and keep us updated
looking good man, will be nie too see it at next years nat day, makes me wana build another 172 engine up with itbs to put in a 5, would **** it in a campus shell tho lol
ure thinking in terms of bhp tho, where components are rated in ftlbs so in reality the gearbox isnt seeing 30-40% more torsional load its closer to only 20%
is it a 5 turbo or a gtt? if its a gtt, easiest was is engine straight up and out, disconect the drive shafts, undo the 3 engine mounts disconect downpipe and all pipes and wires. up and out in 30min, remove gearbox fit new clutch then reverse it all. 3hrs maximum
f**k me thats bad, if you caught it early you coulda got away with new shells but that sounds like regrind time, probably easier to replace the lump tho
looking for some recomendations, got itbs and 428s but have a powerflow 2inch that seems to be restricting the power a little top end, looking for a well made nice sounding not restrictive 2.5inch pref with a twin exit so it fits my already cut bumper, what do people recon?
can i run slicks too? lol, turns out my stock cams were incorectly timed too so was loosing out on a fair chunk of torque midrange, cant wait to drive her in anger again
