y2k2gt Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I had to use a new to me teksid block. I bought manley .030 18cc pistons. I bought one of the new edelbrock intakes also. One head had another valve job and they were both milled. I removed the swirl dams in the combustion chamber. http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/y2k2gt/100_3765.jpg http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/y2k2gt/100_3769.jpg http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/y2k2gt/100_3770.jpg http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/y2k2gt/100_3776.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y2k2gt Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 you must be freaking loaded...everytime i see you post, youre rebuilding another blown up engine why not just buy an MMR900 or something? What your seeing is $2100 in machine work and parts. The mmr900 would cost over $4000 just for the shortblock. I'm not loaded! I'm also selling my other intake for $700, so I'll have $1400 in this build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate1647545505 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Any reason you went with the ICS over a Cometic? I can't remember if the Titan is for O-ringed applications? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2k2gt Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 The new intake didn't come with any bolts and the stock bolts are too long. I should have it running in a couple days. http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/y2k2gt/100_3786.jpg http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/y2k2gt/100_3787.jpg http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/y2k2gt/100_3788.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDHG940 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Did you just rebuild the motor like a few months ago? What keeps letting loose each time? I havent ran a high amount of boost but the 2500 miles I have put on my car since its been turbocharged I have beat the shit out of it. I give you credit for keeping at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2k2gt Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Last year a methanol injection line blew a hole while making a pass and ruined the pistons. This time the ground terminal was loose. That was where the fuel pumps were grounded. So, it went lean while making a pass and ruin all the new pistons and the block. Both times I was running under 13psi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tbutera2112 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 that rebuild plus this rebuild = cost of MMR shortblock after this one blows, the next one plus this one will also equal mmr block... if you keep going through these, why not just save up and do it right instead of keeping at the same thing?

mrtbolt64 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I know there seems to be a following of MMR but in all seriousness I would not let Mark Luton "owner of MMR" lick the sweat off my balls.

NXfedRam Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 that rebuild plus this rebuild = cost of MMR shortblock after this one blows, the next one plus this one will also equal mmr block... if you keep going through these, why not just save up and do it right instead of keeping at the same thing? did you not read what he posted above?? both of the failures were for reasons unrealated to the motor itself. An MMR built shortblock will gernade if it is ran lean just as the motors he has built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2k2gt Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) Well said! I thought I had covered what happened pretty clear. I did not have to pay for the last one. I have $1000 in this one including the block. http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/y2k2gt/100_3798.jpg Edited April 23, 2009 by y2k2gt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
