22 months for my motorcycle engine build. Bored 3mm over, carpenter head, cams, race cut box, rods, higher cr pistons. Got all pissed with the builder and then found out the machinist was fighting cancer. Anyway, the motor ended up being a fucking ripper. I hope yours is worth the wait ?

I ordered my rods (BRUTE lX) and pistons (JE custom) from pagparts last not, I got all the upgrades available for it all, upgraded pin and all the coatings ect. Should get them next week, just gotta save up another 2600 so I can send my head to pagparts so the can p&p and do there thing with new supertech valves, springs, everything

EPIC.

the one thing about waiting for the best work possible is you get good stuff. My motor from LME in texas took like 7 months longer than expected or whatever but once i got it the motor was an absolute beast and was the highest horsepower setup for that combo of parts I have ever seen. Was annoying at the time but ultimately well worth it

First part of the pieces came in last night

 

[billbadass]

those pistons are straight porno. love it.

what kind of whp or power levels are you aiming at for once all is rebuilt and turned up?

 

[railroader]

It will never be done lol, I want to shoot for 6-800whp so to do that it will be time for a full frame turbo, probably have to sell a kid or two and get an iroz turbo, but once the motor is done my eqt will have to do

 

[PowerDemon]

I would imagine you could run every bit of 600whp on the EQT turbo with your setup. It might not last forever, but hopefully long enough till you could get your hands on an Iroz turbo.

@railroader thanks you for the vote of confidence. ?

Ain't that the truth! I'll probably end up selling my left nut and kidney to get one.

What are your plans regarding the drivetrain?

 

[railroader]

Do fix it till its broke, I'll probably replace the clutch packs when I have it all back out, I have lots of time seeing how I dont see myself with an iroz kit anytime soon,

 

[billbadass]

I want to say Ed at EQT was pushing almost 625whp+ with his EQT XL turbo on E85 and it had room to push it harder on the track than the dyno? if you have an XL you probably get pretty damn close to what you want

will be epic to see what the 60-130 looks like on one of these 650whp+ mk7 setups! sleeper of the century

Ed's dyno number was just over 600 whp and his dyno reads pretty high, so more like 570whp

Good news, the machine work is done.

Bad news, i cant go get the engine because i have fucking coronavirus. So far it's been really mild for me, more of an inconvenience being stuck in the house for the next two weeks than anything else.
