Galantman03's 8G Build

[Galantman03]

Correct

[spdracr]

Well then I don't have to worry about that cuz its not for me.

Your machine work looks great. Makes me jealous.

[wetamup2k3g]

That engine looks like modern art. Excellent!!

[spdracr]

Almost two hours to catch up from beginning to where I started following this thread which was around the brembo painting process. Didn't realize that u have actually almost competed the AWD set up.

Looks great. Lots of effort into this.

Can u provide me with info on the connectors and pics that u used for the conversion harness?? I would like to make one for me or maybe repin my actual harness.

Jared you running a stock crank or a Manley Billet?

Yeah i can help you, just have to give me a wire count with the auto.

Oem stock

Very very nice! The engine looks well machined the head look perfect! Nice job on the side skirts too.

I would appreciate that. I will let u know when I'm at that stage. Thanks a bunch.

Why all this work money and stock crank?? Would it handle your power goals??

Thanks bro.

The reason with oem crank is because i used howard rods, and those can only be used with an oem crank. Will it sacrifice power? It shouldnt

FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPp

[Stewi]

They told you Howard rods can only be used with an OEM crank? Did they give an explanation why? Why would they make a 800+ whp rod that can only be used on a crank that's max limit is in the 750-850whp range?

[Stewi]

Ok so I just read up on them. I get why they did it, but can't believe they didn't make 2 versions. Sucks I planned on using them on my next bottom end. Looks like I'll be going Manley instead.

Thanks man. lol you know the secret though so shhh...

It lasted for quite a while, Almost 8 months, of dragging and high high rpm shifts, untill it threw a rod, crank was fine though.

Funny thing is I have pretty much the same set up, except for that turbo, it will take too long to spool up.

[spdracr]

Wow just wow. That's just raw power there. Maybe one day ill have one of those lol

[Galantman03]

Lol

Ok i have looked and looked in the manual and on evo m, maybe i missed it but i cannot find the rear main seal torque specs and the windage tray torque specs

[Stewi]

Honestly. I have never used a torque wrench on the windage tray or rear main seal. I would say like 10ft/lbs on the windage bolts with a little loctite to be safe. Rear main seal I would say maybe 15-20 inch/lbs.

[Stewi]

BTW use loctite on almost everything. Without balance shafts and with solid mounts shit is gonna vibrate loose all the time.

[Galantman03]

Cool cuz that's what i did. And yep lock tight ftw!

[Galantman03]

Random question, does the 2g fuel sending unit look like ours? I'm curious if it will work with the double pumper setup

[Stewi]

It looks nothin like ours. It's just a metal top plate with a pump hanger. Your best bet is to run a full blown 2g double pumper. I know some people mod the 2g plate and make it a double pumper. What are your power goals? I run one in-tank 255 and one in-line 255 old school AMS style and it works well. You can also just run a single aeromotive 340lph and be good into the mid 600 to low 700 range. If your running E85 I think the double pumper is the only option due to the higher volume requirements.
