I'd like to see more updates on this.

I tore the motor completely down to nothingness again. The block is 95% done at the machine shop where its getting o-ringed. My built head should be coming back soon then I just install all the goodies and its tune time! I should have it all wrapped up by Christmas morning!

All the bearings checked out for 13k hard miles on them, the clutch was damn good too, i am not a disappoint ;)







This is what my shop cat (clutch) thinks about it all...

Engine is out! Have most of the turbo stuff coming in along with the built head... Stoked to see this come together!

[Cronopoulos]

Well today is the last day she's running until I get all the turbo parts on her and back up and running (a few weeks from now)... It's winter in Idaho and it's time to drive the truck for a bit.

Someone took the liberty of making a speed-hole in my low beam today with a hammer, if i ever catch the fucker who did it, ill return the favor.




Also before she went under the knife i went and got a baseline at a local dyno, here are the results -

• pump gas
• 19# injectors
• megasquirt tuned
• Stock head
• Stock exhaust

HX series turbos are hard to beat for the money.

I have both already, I really want some head room up top which im leaning for the 35r.. We will see here in the next few weeks, i can always change it up!

Can't wait! Do you know what other parts you will be running with it? Manifold and such?

Going to run a CX racing manifold and either the HX40 or a legit gt35r, cant make up my mind!

I think you could run 20ish lbs without E85. I would be interested to see an E85 build though, as I don't think i've seen one.

I have easy access to it. I ran e85 on the stock budget stroker up until a few weeks ago, love the stuff. This build will be for e85 :)

Well then you should see how much boost it will hold! I'll hopefully be picking up one soon and next summer I might see try and see what the m20 will hold before it pops.

Oh I will be, KAmotors and frozensolid on here are putting out INSANE power for stock bottom ends/hg. I see no problem running ~20lbs with a good tune via e85.
