Engine Tech / 2.3L Engine Build Up
Over this winter/spring I am building my 2.3L from bottom to top. A lot of time and money is going to be invested into this project and I am creating this thread to post updates and ask questions related to the motor and drive train.
Goal is to reach 700whp on race gas with MicroTech tune.
and have a respectable 400-500 for the street as a daily driver.
This project may even end up going through the majority of the summer depending on funds and determination.

First question. Is the stock Crank going to be good for 700+ HP?
Should i go .020 over or .030 over?
what kind of compression should i aim to run if i am running around atleast 30PSI, 8:1?
What kind of Rods should i go with?

Any answers or suggestions are appreciated.

So you want pics of my 88 under a cover in the garage in January? That's not very interesting ;)


I really don't have pics of my 95 buried under snow. Most of the time I clean it off, clean the driveway, and head to work. If we get 8-10 inches of snow overnight I still have to go to work. It's Chicago after all ;)


Wouldn't mind seeing some pictures of the 88 in the sunshine :D

Lounge / new gun ban
Quote from: oldraven;242673
Sam Steele did the same thing during the Gold Rush into the Yukon. If you wanted to pan Gold in the Yukon, you had to hand over your guns, and a good portion of those gold seekers were from the US. I bet that law was a favourite. :hick:

Personally, I think concealed guns are a huge part of the problem the US has with gun crimes. That's not to say there aren't responsible gun owners who are going to get shafted by laws like these (if there's any truth to this in the first place), but I'm willing to wager that these people are rare, compared to the irresponsible gun owner. Besides, you can't argue with numbers. Countries with bans on assault rifles and concealed weapons have drastically lower rates of gun crimes.

Flame on.


Break and enters in BC are triple compared to Texas.
Concealed weapons reduce crime, thats a fact.

WOW, I cant believe how all that snow ended up in your engine bay!

That's enough snow for 3 years worth here in Vancouver BC.

mccain asside, what would be the right reasons to vote for obama? my point on him ans his voters was that most of them dont have a ligit reason or even know why they are going to vote for him.
 
mccain is barely a republican, there is no real republican running in this race.
 
im sure we would have to agree that knowbody is going to vote or not vote on how old Bs mom was when she had him HOWEVER, if for any reason he isnt a lagit born in the usa american than that disqualifies him. end of discussion. i dont care if they found out he wasnt one day before the election. if thats the case he should be out. period.

I'd bet Obama is U.S. born.If not,don't you think that would've already been noticed/Also,if you are born to a U.S. parent in a foreign country,you're still a U.S. citizen.I'm not arguing,nor will I.That was just my own opinion.


If he is US born why doesn't he stop jerking everyone around, produce a dospoogeent that is legitimate proof to where he was born. Secondly you have to be a us citizen for 5 years after the age of 14 to give birth to a child outside of the United States who can rightfully named a US citizen. Obamas mother was 18, which is four years. The true dispute is where he was born, as of now no one knows for sure.
