No progress update.

Block is on the engine stand, been tight on time.

On the bright side, I may be purchasing a tig welder soon for my garage! May give the HTP invertig 221 a shot. Haven't heard anything negetive about it.

The biggest issue I see is sourcing the rb bellhousing... Unless you buy a complete transmission.

The S14 casting is a bit different. Towards the back on the ex side, it sticks out a bit and interferes with the downpipe.

Brian Crower stg 3 cams- missing oil hole

I purchased these cams bnib 2 years ago from a member on here, and I'm just now getting ready to run them :oops: On one of the cams on the last journal, it is lacking an oil hole and has a groove machined all around instead. I figured it may be undersized but test fitting them says otherwise. http:/...

The helium runs much hotter and helps with thicker materials. Also helps if you keep having porosity/voids in your weld after you grind them down. Don't be afraid to ask! Just make sure you're not being fed some BS. I usually run 20% cleaning action, sometimes going down to 16%. I weld aluminum as t...

60 grit to remove excess weld, then 120 to smooth it out a bit. As for the radiuses, I cut 3 different angles just like a valve job using a rotary file on a straight die grinder. Started with a 45degree cut about 1/4" wide, then 2 more angle cuts. After that blended in all 3 with a 90degree ang...

I ran them at 4t ccw, with a t3/t67 turbo, about 22psi.this setup was short lived, but it was a complete top end monster! Kept pulling hard to 7000rpm.

Honestly I wouldn't bother with the t25 tho. Just run stock cam setup.

I may order one to get an idea what it would take to squeeze 2 in there. I have no problem with modding the hanger or even making a new one from scratch.

My car currently sits without a pump, perfect time to shop around. There are so many great options available now compared to some years ago
