Going to build the motor in the next few months. How's this sound?

Bottom end:
DCR oil kit
DCR crank strap
DCR Weisco 8.5:1 pistons
Crower rods
OEM main bearings
OEM rod bearings
OEM water pump
OEM timing belt

Top end:
DCR race ported head
DCR valvetrain
DCR ARP headstuds
BC S3 cams
Fidanza cam gears
DCR 5-layer headgasket
Cleaned & ceramic coated by F&F

Fuel:
Bosch 044 fuel pump
RC750's (possibly 900 or 1000cc's) (no e85 in my area

)
-8AN feedline / -6an return line
OBX -8AN fuel rail

Other mods that matter:
Rage Tek COP
Sheet metal intake manifold
AGP Delta HTA 60
Ceramic coated CTI tubular exhaust manifold
ACT DN4HDG6 clutch
AEM F/IC
Direct port 100% meth injection
stock tranny (for now)

are you running another pump with the Bosch inline? Like a walbro in tank?

Not sure what you mean about the bed plate bolts? If you are getting the strap kit from DCR, they will send you new bolts with it, there will be four of them that are on the windage tray. They gave me 4 bolts to put in place of the old balance shaft bolts too..

Depending on what your goals are, I like the BCs, when I took mine to Darrell he said that the issues he had with them before seem to have been fixed, and that he may start using them. Unfortunatley I ended up with a 2.6 instead and didnt get to use them...

Looks good tho

im a fan of crower rods, but if youre between manley and bc's id personally suggest manley

overall your build looks solid! youll need to upgrade that tranny soon though!

hit me up in regards to anything in that area

stick with an i-beam rod...

cokey · 10-28-2009, 12:08 AM

yea get I beams.. stronger, might as well if you can get them.. i should have got them when i did mines lol.. your not getting coated bearings? any reason? what are you planning on reving to?

Doing all that and still tuning with a piggyback? I know the F/IC doesn't work like the typical piggyback, but atleast go AEM or get some sort of PCM flash like Diablo or SCT.

I like the F/IC, but I was thinking of switching to a DSP possibly. If so, I'll be in contact

I don't see any benefit to coated bearings. I didn't plan on revving to the sky.

No other pump, just the Bosch in the tank.

The goal for now is 550-600. I want to build the motor so that I don't have to do it a 2nd time if I eventually go with a bigger turbo. I'd like to keep it streetable, hence why I only want 550-600.

**04blusrt_4** · 10-28-2009, 10:04 AM

I beams get the rep of being stronger, but technically theyre are not. They are lighter than an H beam, which makes them capable of higher rpms. But if you were to take an even weighted I beam and H beam, I believe the H beam would be stronger in handling torque. Weight is a major factor in determining what rods. Personally I plan to use the manley turbo tuff rods, just me tho.

Just my .02.

Sounds like you'll be waiting for monthes with all those DCR products on your list, other than that im with the other guys why not just go full standalone or dsp.

LMFAO. Hopefully DCR doesn't see this so that they know they can take their time, but as long as I have my stuff within 2-3 months I'll be happy. I'm gonna tear down the block around the first week of December. Hopefully I can get the car all back together by March or April. If not, no biggie. The car never goes anywhere anyways. I could count on one hand how many times I've driven the SRT this year, 5 times.

I already have the DCR head. Sending it out next week to F&F to get pressure tested since I bought it used, along with ceramic coating. Also sending him my turbine housing and tubular manifold.

I don't think I'd go with an EMS. A) because I'm not that familiar with it and I don't have the time (or dedication LOL) to learn it and B) there isn't an "N2MB" or "aaronneon" around here to tune EMS. If anything I think I'd go with a DSP. TSDaaron & turbo666 have already tuned some fast cars with it.

those 750's will not get you 600whp.

get fic drop in 900's
