What are you laughing at? When I yell "vtak!" I beat single turbo Supras.

Head will be free, except this time I'll take it to a machine shop to have it checked out. Installation though...thats the not good part. I no longer have Bryson's shop to bank off of.

Once again, glad I didn't pick up that M52....

Well, last time we raced down the freeway i had that hacked eta 1 7/8" exhaust on there, which choked the motor down on the top end. After that she got some new lungs installed and that helped out alot, and the motor is broken in now.

But its alright man, when you get that VaNoS fixed (and valve) it will haul ass. I guess you'll have to ask Devon for a rematch, I have moved onto better things :P

Sean, if you let everyone know what kind of car you're building up, they'd all fill the cup. Your future car rules.

^ Agreed.

I'll try to remember a camera when I pick up whitey, just in case if you can't wait a week to see Mizz Magestic, Jeremy.

There better be a photoshoot soon, Devon - after all that you had best be showing it off.

Re: Most unamazing engine ever

Well, my vanos is dead...like, the whole thing, not just that solenoid switch thing that costs ass loads of money. That, on top of a bent valve(s)=my car being slow as shit.

I raced 325Projectz on the freeway the other nite (he has a stock vanos M50), and he was neck and neck at every speed, and even baaaaaaarely pulling ahead at some points. With my old M50, I was outrunning him.

This blows, and now I have to wait until December to find the time to swap the head and pray that the junkyard gives me one that actually functions (unless someone is selling a freshly machined, vanos-working head for cheap, Bryson?).

Yeah, this is me bitching.

A Vanos solenoid is less than 100.00 wholesale.

A whole Vanos unit is ~300.00 or so.

Get a shop with the Vanos timing tool to install it for 100-200 or so dollars.

Sounds so easy except for the bent valve part.
