Details? Wet/dry what pills are included? Did you ever use it at the track?

just did mine a couple days ago. there really is no need to replace anything except the seal and nut (if you're anal).

you actually didnt build a motor though. you bought and installed a motor. what you are doing is "building" a car i guess, but that has nothing to do with replacing the blown motor. honestly, i have no clue who either of you are but you kind of make yourself look bad by calling people out...

outstanding job, i wouldnt change a thing!

i wouldnt deem anything hurt or wrong at all based on that oil fill cap alone. the point of the PCV system is to remove that water vapor, if part of the system isnt working properly, your engine never sees high enough temps etc you will get enough condensation to see it mix at the cap. How...

$25 shipped on the rear LCA's to 29483....residential. mileage on them?

email pypes?

since you have experience with pushrod motors, most likely in a fox i'll give you a perfect example. if the fox body has stock size 225/50/16 and the s197 has stock 235/50/18. the s197 with 4.30 gear would be identical to running a 3.90 gear in the fox, RPM wise.

that thing is gonna go high 6.6 in good air if the track holds. congrats!

4r70w first gear is 2.84 vs the 3.22 first gear of the 5r55, so the 4.30 gear isnt a problem if its trapping at a good RPM keep the gear. everyone thinks you need high gears (low numerically) with a turbo car. if the car is going through the traps at a good RPM and the turbo is spooling well...

welcome, charleston here!

what kind of power did you make with this setup and how much boost? or track times?

thats a big difference...

what about a basic bolt on 05-09? i need to get mine to the track, i've been told they run 8.80-9.0s with basic bolt ons, but i have no clue.

low oil pressure to the phaser, cam timing gets out of whack and valvetrain gets loud, increase RPM and pressure increases to the phaser and the problem goes away. thats my theory anyway.
