The bad, the better, the worse, the good...HG's and new engine
OK, so it's time again.
My phase-II block and DOHC headed engine ate a set of new HG's (the bad) I redid the HG's as well as a few other things and got it running (the better) It then decided to "spin" the front and middle passengers side intake cam bearings, doing a pretty good job of it (the worse) So, now I have to get it running yet again. The good = Here is where I think things are going in the near future (meaning less than 6-8 weeks). COBB Tuning: Stage-2 DOHC heads with street cams (linky) Crawford: S2 rebuilt STi 2.5L NA shortblock running ~10.5:1 CR (linky). All to go with..... COBB Tuning EL headers/High flow cat/catback exhaust. CM modified DOHC intake manifold COBB Tuning stage-2 drivetrain parts All running on a 1998 OEM ECU and a MAF. Parts should be here in a couple of weeks. I am hoping to end up around 210-220CHP with this setup. Should be nice and be able to last a long time. If I had a garage and more time, I would do more myself. Sigh. But, I am keeping the car for a few more years yet. Now, I wonder what it will be like at the COBB Tuning track day in SLC?

Hi Pat.
I think it was a missed minor detail on reassembly. Almost 2 years ago I blew my original 2.5L a couple of days before going out to the COBB meet. I slapped a "ready to be reassembled" engine together overnight and then did the trip out to SLC. Both HG's went out at the 6:00 position (3 cylinders out of 4). I don't think it is a combination issue. Oh, and since I am a MAF car, no EM/tuning. Just a stock ECU. The "CM" is my initials. Mostly gasket matching, but I need my new heads here before I do anything. I guess I "legally" can't run FSP anymore. |

Oh, and any plans to pop it on a dyno for some numbers when it's assembled? This build isn't too different from mine. Should be interesting!

^^^What Matt said.
Yes, I know that the cams in a DOHC ride directly in the machined heads. But either way, the aluminum is smeared rather well (relative term) all over the place. Matt and I have discussed in another forum. Solution, I hope to do a "Dynorad" set of runs after the engine is installed and broken in. Oh, I plan on running across rt80 on my way to the COBB meet. Maybe we can met up for a bit. |
