Do you know the part number or size they are. They aren't listed by model

 

[JoshK]

I will look when I get home and see if I still have the box or the part number saved

 

[W3bb3r04]

Okay thanks man

 

[W3bb3r04]

Or if you can figure out the outside diameter and installed height that would work too!

Edit: it should be these since its a 24 valve motor right?

Also the car has 100k on it. Should I valve seals and guides while im in there? Car doesn't smoke as it is now

 

[JoshK]

Thats the ones

 

[W3bb3r04]

Thats the ones

Okay thanks!

You may want to consider your MAF. If I get a built block, I think I'm going to have to upgrade mine!

 

[W3bb3r04]

I already have an HPX maf! That should do I would think

 

[jodadejss06gt]

Awesome, didn't know that tidbit! I want to do a build so bad....I think I'd def have to go high compression though.

Yeah you are already running E85 so it would make sense to! I want to keep it on pump gas so I'd rather have a little lower compression than stock and be able to run more boost to make up for the difference in power.

 

[JoshK]

I want to build another engine already with higher compression yet. Got my eye on a set of pistons already. Would just have to sell this one to recoupe some monies.....

I am also using an HPX MAF

What was the most boost you could run on pump gas with your set up? I'm wanting to run 16-18 max.

 

[JoshK]

With the compression I have it is just like making an extra 3lbs of boost. Basically my engine should make the smae power as a stock cr engine on 3 less lbs. Not sure what would be sfae on pump gas since i have been on e85 from the get go and we dont have any premium gas here so I dont follow that

Just look at the numbers in my sig, that was a peak of 19 lbs but was at 18lbs through most of the pull

 

[W3bb3r04]

So on 18 lbs mine should make what yours did on 15 lb roughly?

Like I said I'm just shooting for 6-650 which I would assume would be no problem since I'm basically adding 9 more pounds on to what I'm already making

 

[JoshK]

Yeah, I believe BruceH ran his engine that is just like this one up to 15lbs on pump IIRC

 

[W3bb3r04]

Okay sweet. I'm curious to see how these boss rods do with the higher boost since the bosses are higher compression.

 

[W3bb3r04]

Anyone know if i should do valve seals and bronze guides or is that overkill?

 

[JoshK]

I changed the valve stem seals. It doesnt get any easier than when you are already changing springs

 

[Bobby]

I was told by my guy that did my motor. If you do bronz guides you dont have to do the intake side unless you want. The exhaust side is more importand. Also i have a brand new set of followers thst i will sell.

 

[W3bb3r04]

Okay thanks guys. Bobby ill hit you up on those depending on how mine look. Bobby do you think I can make my power goals with the stock piping and intercooler?
