Turbo m42 forged pistons,mls,arp studs, Autronic standalone. 230rwhp on 10psi conservative tune.

That's one way to get a Sparco bar over an m42. lol
That intake looks like OE madness to me - more info PLEASE !!!

.. and holy cow on the numbers - you got a build thread somewhere?

[White325is]

Still needs lots of work.

[MR 325]

Very nice... I see you went for "plan B" on that project, eh?

[White325is]

Well, There was a little problem with plan "A".. haha..



I will just leave it at that.

[Edev]

Fuck man, I've been there. Back in the day I had a fresh M20 shit out on me at 500 miles.

[White325is]

Mine had 2 hours on it. I was bleeding the cooling system. Let it run 30 minutes and shut it off to cool down. Let it run 30 and shut it off to cool down. Was running for about an hour at idle and all of the sudden BOOM!! Just shut off, got out the video scope and sure enough piston was gone.
Come to find out the head was machined below spec. Oh well, shit happens for a reason. I like plan "B" also. :)

Yes the sparco bar fits nicely with the new style intake its just a little close to the o2 snsr so i might have to modify it a bit if theres contact.

No build thread sorry i started using the forums once i got her up and running and had some issues, mostly just trial and error and a few cracked heads, melted valves and some frustration.

The numbers though surprised everyone when it was on the dyno, I really wanna know what it makes now ive had it at 14psi for a while and it seems to take it alright will have dyno vids and ride along as soon as the snow melts.

try not to laugh
