thanks!

the bosch pump will be here tomorrow so i can finally actually do some work to my car this weekend!

been a while since its gotten some love lol

[Tampa Mike]

Shoulda let me know on the Bosch homeslice, I have a couple layin around. Was gonna do a tripple 044 setup in my car butjust havent been motivated to do it.

Dont sweat the aluminum rods for sure, all you really need to do is every quarter drop the pan and tray and check the tq on em, you do that and they will treat you like a king. We had em in a motor for almost 2 years nothing but good results.

What made you choose the fuel cell? I have always strayed from using a fuel cell as it always pushed me one class higher like from FI-street to FI-pro, same goes for the all motor classes, we chose to keep the stock tanks as long as possible to keep the cars in the street classes although we are putting a 3 gallon in one of our cars in a week or so.

What is the volume on that intake manifold? looks pretty good!

yea unfortunately my boss said the same thing about the bosch pump lol.....oh well.

Im not worried about the rods at all. BME has been doing this for years. If they can take 1000whp+ then there is no reason they cant take driving on the road and/or drag racing.

About the fuel cell, i wanted to drop weight and also not have to change my fuel setup when i put this motor in a hatch and put a turbo setup together for the turbo. I set this up mostly for holt since thats where i will be racing the most. There has yet to be rules against it and there is usually just a generic "NA" class.
Also, i have read from the guys of IFO that they have given certain chassis slack on certain rules due to the weight of the car. This obviously has to be ok with everyone else im racing, but if the only reason i couldnt run street was the fuel cell setup when im competing against cars that are 500lbs less than me then i dont think they would give me much grief.

regardless, if IFO/BOTI makes me run pro then gives me all the more reason to really cut the weight down. I have a friend of mine that races his prelude in H2 (road racing) and has it down to ~2100 without him in it with one hell of a roll cage and no cutting of the chassis (no lexan). If i can get my weight down to that, i have a fighting chance in the pro class.

The intake manifold is roughly 2.5-2.7L. Plenty for 9500RPM

Thanks mike!

a 2100lb prelude would be deadly!

Did you go with light weight pistons? If you run this motor the way your thinking your piston speed will be just under 100 feet per second. Hope you run good oil and have everything balanced perfect. Big stroke + high rpms= me telling you good luck bro.

Can't wait to see this finished.
Shootout between my untuned h22a GSR and the Lude :P
jk.

glwb!

they are decent considering the dome on them. They are fairly short pistons by design due to running a long rod so that helped with weight. I used the h22 rod to help out with the rod stroke ratio. Before i was using the h23 rods (shorter) and still revved it to 8500 rpm. That was with the engine balancing i had done and the makeshift "blueprinting" of my own. I beat the living piss out of that motor for just about two years. Only reason it failed is because i did not run rod bearing clearances that met the heat and abuse of what a 8500rpm motor needed. It got 36mpg on the highway and went 13.4 on a completely untouch head. I'd say it had a "fun" life lol

Oil is the least of my worries. I ran Torco sr-1 with ZDDP additive for the majority of that engines lifetime until moving to royal purple later on so i will end up running either of those most likely. Break in will be with an actual break in oil. High in zinc = good

No problem.
When I finish my build I will find a reason to drive to Pensacola and let you see it.

[98vtec]

hope you would drive to pensacola for more reason than for me to see it lol

You did ask to see the final, I don't know if you meant pictures or actually see it in person.

I don't mind honestly, I am not that far from PCola.
I partied in the NAS for new years :P

I Need NOS.
