turbo motor build

[John Noonan]

Impact...

Well when that won't work "getter bet" a bigger one..

JH,

Use either a ratchet or a breaker bar to loosen....use a torque wrench to tighten.

[bak189]

And maybe get it off the floor.........for a cleaner
environment.... for assembly.....................................

Just trying to help........................................................

JohnnyHNs,
I agree with bak 189 use a breaker bar instead of an impact. It gives you a better "feel" as to if something is wrong, like loctite. I don't do much engine work but I never use an impact on one. And again I agree with bak 189, build ourself a nice bench and put the engine on it and not the floor.

I really admire you for being so "vertically integrated" that is business speak for doing everything yourself!

When you learn by experience the test comes first and the lesson comes afterward.

Make a 2 ft x 4 ft table with a lower shelf on swivel casters.  A couple of 4 x 4 and and a couple of 2 x 4 and 2 sheets of 2 ft x 4ft plywood is what I use for the MC I am going to restore. It's easy to move and work from either side. Make it the height that is good for you.

I learned many years ago why the aircraft industry has so much support equipment and material handling. When done for the day push it out of the way and clean up, cover the engine and the next day you can start over with ease. Right SS.

Easier on the back as well.

And the knees.

IMO the inlet on exhaust will be ok with that turbo, i'm using same with a 35r and not noticing any hp deficancy.

You going to take advantage of the twin scroll housing with a split pulse header ??

Also std retainers are very good, not sure Ti are any better.

OK, I'll display my ignorance here. What does "running 2 intake cams mean"?  In a DOHC I'm use to one exhaust and one intake cam. In a 4 valve head; are you running two intake profiles (one for each valve) on the same cam or are you proposing to runn an intake cam on the exhaust side? Or . . .?

Also, Jonny I want to thank you for going "public" and sharing all of your build information. 
  -All the best

The busa motor has 2 cams, one intake and one exhaust. The cams are identical except the intake has slightly more lift.

If you get a set of adjustable cam sprockets and a second intake cam you can install the intake cam in the exhaust side giving you 2 intake cams.

This is good for about 8 HP on an NA motor, especially if you have a header.

Thanx, Jonny.   Now I wonder what the Ford modular DOHC guys run?

Jnuts, we use the "on sale" $39 Harbor Freight #1000 engine stand, making adapters from 4 pieces of angle.  The wood fixture is used for support when you want to turn it over and split the cases since you loose half of the mounts

S#1---please post that in the how to section---that is a good tool.

[Rchop]

Wow...what a great, simple idea! I have one of those stands in storage and a GSXR motor in the shop that I was thinking of using for my next build.

Thanks

As you can see I thought it was a horrible idea.
