Miller WAR chip e/i "stroker" w/HX35 issues

[The Humjet]

I've soldone for $200. It went quick, so either the buyer really needed it, or it was a good price

That's cheap as an 885 head would cost at least $800 down here, 731 heads are about $300 which is what I've got
Sorry for the noob question but what is the point of welding the water jackets I hear alot of people doing it on e30tech with their turbo m20 motors

[einstein57]

Just do it now. My machine shop can do it same day if I drop it off in the morning. Its not a delayed process unless they are swamped or their welder is out sick.

Boom!!

haha

The damage wasn't as bad as I was expecting when I stopped by.

Not at all. But the hole was large enough to evacuate the entire cooling system in a matter of seconds.

I might drop that head off somewhere later this summer to see if i can't just get it welded up. The M20 doesn't use 95% of the water channel on that side anyways.

How much does a good condition 885 head cost in the US?

you going to get the water galleries welded up now you've put a whole through one lol

I talked about it beforehand, and didn't do it. This time I need to get it on the road before I'll have time to have it done. I may see if I can't have the damaged head welded up next fall and toss it on over the next winter. I don't plan on exposing the motor to those conditions again though.

The MLS tore up good. Also a small amount of piston damage, but nothing major. Going to smooth those out with a dremel. No damage to the minty fresh cylinders or block, so I'm happy.

[The Humjet]

You couldn't just control yourself you just had to give it a boost lol. I'd do the same myself these things are just to exciting sometimes. You should invest in a external wasgates setup next time round. Get that video up i wanna see how quick my future setup will be

Doh, I remember the impatience of youth.

Except in my case I just blew the little turbo on my mazda GTX not the engine, was still an expensive fix back then...

Looking forward to the carnage pics & the rebuild!!

[JTapper]

I blowed mine up. I had it dialed in nice and an appt. set for dyno tuning. Sure enough I had to take it out and flog it some more. Had some boost creep and blew the HG (Cometic MLS) and took a chunk out of the head.

I've got a video somewhere. 0-100 in under 9 seconds.

i just used the WAR for the first time and so far its fine. i havent even touched the 19lb+genIII maf tune and im running 8lbs of boost and 30lb injectors. not lying....it runs very smoothly with the exception of being a tad rich.

WAR FTW

[JTapper]

I will have to change that! I know our e34 stuff sometimes uses increased fuel pressure so whoever wrote that description was probably on a typing rampage!

No worries. Is 45psi about where I want to be then?
