DrummerSteve7 : H23 Boost Build

[drummersteve7]

thanks mike. yah pretty sweet deal, will be working from the same area.
And I am pretty much a shoe in, since me and 1 other guy know this system in and out. The other guy is staying in the Navy. So this might be the sweetest deal ever.

ya ever since I picked up 2 shitty F22 blocks from PA!

its all good Jimmy, gotta think positive.
Its got issues, but thats what I get for boosting a stock block.

New headgasket ordered. If that does not fix it then, I am putting a H22 in it while I build for boost!
but I will have to get my red car going.

is all good just got a sweet ass job offer to start the day I leave the Navy.
If this truly happens. My boost build will be built quicker than I thought.

hey man dont hate. i never knew the bearings went

Sorry to hear your having problems with the engine again. Put a new gasket on it and should be good to go, should be an hour worth of work.

Nothing wrong with running a stock block, it should last years even at much higher psi from what I have seen.

Good luck!

[drummersteve7]

ya man. no doubt. might be following in your civics footsteps such as using my evo iii big 16g and making it a hybrid to 20G.
the 16G just is not big enough for the H23.
but yah, new gasket as soon as I get time.

Since this car was driving, my DD is torn down for a timing belt, wire tuck, water pump, ESP mounts, new axles, flywheel and clutch. I just finished the tuck last night. So I should have this car back together by this weekend.

Then I will have plenty of time for the boost project!

I'd find something to inspire you. Order a pizza invite a friend over and knock out that head gasket. Just the way that I am, I'd swap in some ARP head studs for the stock head bolts. Knock it out in a night and be back up and boosting by morning.

[drummersteve7]

it will happen. but I would rather spend the time and get the DD back up and running. that was a simple task of minor tuneup things.

plus the DD has a stereo.
it will be done sooner than later tho.

[rexload]

since you have a backup car(s?)

ARP headstuds and new OEM gasket....20G compressor and wheel...methanol....20psi....open downpipe...350whp+?

[dbsharp]

Fuck! You have some shitty luck! For real though, when you get the job you need to build a motor for your car.

[drummersteve7]

this is just a temporary fix, until I get my full boosted engine...
which might be sooner than I thought.

lets look at it this way, here is what i am spending 5500 on.
should have this by the end of this year.
so I can build engine beginning of next.

turbo (hehehe)
turbo manifold top mount for h22
3" exhaust all the way back with electronic switch ported thru front bumper or fender
all charge piping welded 2.5" hot 3" cold.
all oil AN feed/return lines
Oil restrictor
coolant AN lines
1000cc Injectors
Dual Walboro Fuel Pump Hanger with Fuel Pumps
Fuel Rail with AN lines from the fuel tank with inline filters

finished product steve, started the car last night check for any leaks i think im good to go...

[drummersteve7]

well I did a little look see at my white smoke issue.

basically it is all coming from inside the head.
white smoke blows out everytime I remove the PCV valve.

and it blows out like a chimney, guessing due to bad headgasket, coolant is getting into the combustion chamber.

but it idles fine and does not raise temp.

that fucking sucks did you put headgasket on backward??

[drummersteve7]

this is new. it just started. thinking the hg is blown.
no it is not on backwards, but it is the 1 thing I did not change.

[DRQPQUT]

well then you know what to do replace the H.G. do work son

[drummersteve7]

ya the white smoke is blowing out the head.

so either hg or rings.

waiting on my leakdown tester to show up.
i purchased one. figured it would be good the amount i work on engines.
