Black6spdz Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I will attempt to I am not normally one to take a lot of pictures. The motor is out and tore down, it is at Baker Engineering right now for block work and I will assemble. My upcoming main concern will be that I do not have billet shafts in the 80e. Quick build list Diamond pistons Callies rods ARP main studs ARP 1/2" head studs 10 to 1 comp E85 Billet S480 Same Trick Turbo Cam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKSSS Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 well unfortunately i blew the truck up a few weeks ago, it was my own fault on very low boost. The truck will be back on the road in a few weeks with a built motor and a bigger turbo looking to go much faster this summer.Well this is no good! I am hoping to have mine up and running by the end of July. I hope yours goes together well. Why are you going 1/2" head studs? 30psi? And if your going to e-85 your going to be changing your fuel system to what? Dual 450's? I'm in to watch this one. Flip through my build thread. Pretty close setup to mine.

Black6spdz Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Thanks hope all goes well for you too. How fast you looking to go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKSSS Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Thanks hope all goes well for you too. How fast you looking to go?Lol! What ever it will run. I'm going to push it up until I can't anymore. If I make it up around 20 psi that should get me into the 10's. It will be interesting to see what it does. I do wish I had gotten my compression down around 8.8-9.0. That's really my only regret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black6spdz Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 yeah it looks like it is very similar. Yes it now has dual 450 pumps. The 1/2 inch studs barely cost me anymore than stock size, and it could end up north of 25 psi and i do not want to have to worry about it. It did take 20 with stock head bolts though without pushing water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKSSS Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 It did take 20 with stock head bolts though without pushing water. Which is flat amazing. You were lucky there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black6spdz Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 All in the tune TJ at Baker Engineering told me we would bend the rods before it pushed water. We kept the timing conservative and intake temps were always good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03SSBoy Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Baker engineering is a great tuning place then! Theyre the ones that put together the 11.01 sec turboed ss a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKSSS Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Awesome! It will only get better from here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MID12sSSS Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 10-1 compression, 20+ psi, E85... Good call here I'm aiming for 20psi on 10-1 myself. Only, our fuel quality up here is pretty poor. Gonna have to invest in some methanol or 110. Lol. Glad you're gonna give the build thread a shot. We drool over builds like this. I appreciate you sharing.

zippy Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 The bigger head studs will help alot. GM did bigger head bolts on the LS9 engines for the same reason. I'm quite surprised you aren't doing a 4" stroke. TJ does like the high boost smaller inch idea, but that just leaves room for potential issue. Either way I'm sure you'll end up somewhere around the 10.4-10.6 range if it all works as suggested. It's a shame he never got Chris's truck back out after that 11.01. AKSS, you have no worries man. You won't need anywhere near 20psi to get into the 10's. That's the whole reason for changing the crank. Stroked SS could easily get his into the 10's on the 12psi he went to the track with last time if he hadn't had a fuel pump failure and he has hp losses of turning the blower.

Black6spdz Posted June 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 It should get there I think, hopefully with some suspension and lighter wheels with drag radials maybe faster yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopnewton Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 There's a lot of nice FI builds going on right now. I think I'm going to be the only 2wd one on the bunch and can't help but wonder how I'm going to do at the track once my truck is done compared to all you AWD guys.
