Fuel's Winter Project: Build It Before It Blows

[BruceH]

Top of fourth on a long pull, wasn't lean,no detonation....just a lot of heat....pop....enough smoke to let me know it was fucked.

Mahle, livernois 4032 Pistons.

FWIW Livernois changed the standard Mahle ring grooves to their specs. IIRC it was for more piston top before the first ring.

Please oh please don't let it be my turn again!!..

I think I know the issue, you all use the same tuner, lol.

 

[BruceH]

No shit! We need a break for shit that breaks.

Maybe turn the power down to 700 or so? Never happen, lol.

 

[JoshK]

No way Bruce.

 

[JoshK]

Maybe I should send the heads to fox lake to get "checked out".....

Haha, I wish. Its not that easy.

What? That was two years ago!

Didn't you get the memo for 2014, 1000rwhp is the min.

We don't drive our cars to drive the car, we drive them to scare the shirt out of ourselves!

 

[JoshK]

^Exactly Billy

It would be fun to take 5 1000 rwhp 3vs to the mile next year!

 

[JoshK]

So is it a consensus that I should tear it all the way down to inspect and at least re-ring?

That's why mine is on the stand again, JMO though.

 

[JoshK]

Not sure I feel comfortable just throwing some new followers in there and trying it again. I have at least 4 months of snow coming so I have time

lol...The look on people's faces before and after when they think a group of 500 horsepower 3vs show up...

That's exactly what I was thinking! LOL

That would be so damn great, I wouldn't care if I need to swim out of this shithole to get there, it would be very worthy.

I need to brush up my research on p&p head companies again

Im running Silver Poisons heads and cams... hit him up they will duplicate them!! They are proving to be a very badass combo lol

 

[JoshK]

I thought you had stock heads? Go ahead and through some more info in here.

 

[Dark_horse]

His name is Eduardo Melgar and owns Eds Speed Shop... heads and cams supported almost 1300whp and 980ftlbs of tq on his 298ci motor I believe... they do extensive chamber work, cnc ported, unshroud the valves, +1 bigger stainless intake valves, stock exhaust valves, manyley springs and retainers.... I have pictures in build thread... they flowed 280/210 if I remember correctly...

Stock head flow:

Intake
Lift---- CFM
.100-----77.1
.200----147.0
.300----199.6
.400----216.0
.500----223.2
.600----224.8​

Exhaust
Lift------CFM
.100-----52.7
.200-----97.8
.300----120.2
.400----138.1
.500----148.2
.600----153.7 ​

That's funny I don't care who you are!!!!!

Go big Josh!!!!!!!!!!

 

[JoshK]

My thinking right now is if the block is okay maybe get a different set of .030 pistons, but in a 2618 alloy this time that require a little more ptb clearance. Rehone and go back together with upgraded wrist pins, stronger pistons and a forged crank. Think that is doable?
