Save those pistons for me!!! i didn't have a chance to press them off, i wanted to get the rods out to you asap.
Hopefully you'll be able to get that block, i'll be in town from the 8th till the 18th, and then again sometime around 1st of august.
ill get them back to you, no problem! i hope itll be done so i can have you tune it but i dunno with work and waiting for parts. might have to go for the august session.
How much power are you planning on running? I wonder how much the stock h22 rods will be able to handle.
What's the specs on those pistons? I'm assuming the compression height is shorter since you'll be using the longer H22 rods.
Good build man.
im going to push as much as the turbo can do on pump gas, itll prolly be alot of torque, not so much with hp. im going to keep the rev down, which consequently will hurt hp, but it is a strictly street car daily driver, that might see the strip a couple times a year.
the pistons with the H22 rods end up .100 in the hole. i dont remember the exact compression ht, but ashb82 did an excellent write up on the link i provided above. all the credit goes to him.
The h22 rods are extremely strong, i've made 500 on them and thats at 8400rpms, good rods are rated by rpms. The stress (force)on the rods are greatest at the bottom and top of the stroke, which is caused by rpm(acceleration). The ignition occurs after Tdc, so the load caused by combustion is typically an after thought.
if you made 500 on them at 8400, then i should be golden. they say double the rpm quadruple the wear, and the forces at that rpm will be far higher than ill ever excert on them. i feel confident in my decision. they look pretty good, l was happy with my choice. thanks for coming through for me.
now that that is taken care of another progress update. i got the block at the local jy, the rest of the F22B2 for another $20. it looks excellent. i pulled it apart, it had decent cyl. walls. i ran a hone through it and the cyls are beautiful.
the pistons and rods are going to be done wed. but it looks like im going out of town tomorrow. i got the block scrubbed, the cyls honed, crank installed with new king bearings (main bng clearances at .0015 smallest and .002 largest) crank journals polished, and started cleaning engine bay.
i also stumbled on a set of brand new precision 880s for mega cheap, so now i have those, delphi 780s and evo8 560s. im selling the 780s locally, and the evos im looking to sell also. ill do a for sale thread sometime, but for now if anyone is interested PM me.
i also acquired a set of head studs and head gasket. all i have to order now is a clutch. im still unsure on that situation. the pressure plate is still good as is the flywheel, but the disc is shit. im looking around to see if i can find a good disc or complete kit for decent money. i dont want to be getting more junk though, any ideas welcome.
i need to port the oil pump and clean some more stuff before i can get the bottom end together, just time isnt on my side right now. i also lost a bet this weekend, and now i have to paint my wastegate, BOV, compressor housing, and valve cover purple. i get to pick the purple though, i think im going with a plum crazy purple. for what it is i think the color will go with my stupid factory blue fairly well. the bet was i put a pound of tannerite in a 55 gal oil barrel, and suspended it with wire, and hit it with the first shot. it fucked the drum up pretty good, blew a hell of a hole in it. i also set some slab wood on the top and it launched the shit out of it. i was impressed. i also put in a gallon of gas. i bet the shock from the tannerite would cause the gas to ignite, and he said it wouldnt. i lost...
pics of said barrel when i upload them to the computer.
well hopefully when i get back everything will be waiting for me and it hopefully goes together well.
