figure i would post my build up again since i finally have time and money to get it back together. This is the specs on the first motor i built which lasted about 1000 miles of abuse and then melted a hole in a piston. Ill get some updated pics up soon with progress on the next motor and my brothers 93 CX hatch that we're doing a similar build with.

sweet build  ;D

[hotrex]

sweet tune.  nice piston.....   xenopoopie?

[sloTeg]

no xenopoopie, im not sure if it was a bad tune or not, my turbo seals just went out before that happened and i found a lot of oil in the charge pipes and intake, plus i think it might have been partially user error because i pushed it pretty hard and that was like the fourth highway pull i did in a row without letting it cool for a minute.

Could the oil leak be a issue where you just need a oil restrictor?

[sloTeg]

i had a 0.065 restrictor, it was the chinky chinese tial bov that caused a bunch of compressor surge, but i couldnt hear it with the open downpipe, took the spring out and torched it till it just barely opened at idle, but by then the turbo seals were toast. i was just being a dumbass and driving it still while it puked oil, lesson learned.

How much boost was that dyno at?

[sloTeg]

i cant remember, that was about 270hp, so probably around 15psi

any reason that the lsd clutch didnt work so well for you when it is rated over 400 ft/lbs... im looking to get one... but this sort of makes me question getting one.. i understand with the 5th gear burnouts but.... roasting a clutch in a day at that tq capacity?

[sloTeg]

it looked like a decent clutch, didn't see much of a difference between the LSD one and the ACT, and i know other people have had good luck with them,  i wouldn't recommend doing 5th gear burnouts with a DX trans with either of those clutches   

[netrisk032]

haha... just wasnt sure... i know it is already past the 6 month probably... but there is a 6 month hassle free exchange i believe with those clutch kits... thanks again though

the starter ring separated from the flywheel impressed me

fuck... i didn't know that, it melted down too well before 6 months from when i bought it.

the starter ring separated from the flywheel impressed me

sure made an interesting sound too when i tried to start it
