i have been asking him some questions on line as well, not too sure if they want to sell just the blocks at this point. i called darton and they gave me some info on guys that were installing sleeves.. i will post up info when i get some from the machine shop:D if these blocks are not good for the s...

i have some pretty good parts from my 600whp build.. the block was just not up to the task.

do you guys just sell the block?
or a bottom end? i could send in my rods and crank you could supply new psitons..

im not looking for 1000whp... just some thing that will be happy at 750-800

im sure the auto is robbing some power... well if i go with a stock block i will just tass in the old pistons.. they seem fine, i will have them out later today.. i will just get new rings.

but if i get a sleeved block i will get new pistons as well..

no this car will be on the street alot.. its mor of a street car than a drag car... but im up in the air with what to do, we run alot of sleeved hondas... but have never had to do it on a iron block.. i could just toss in another stock block and roll the dice.. but that would suck if it cracks again...

efeezi, Ivan and myself have cracked blocks. I have seemed to do it with the least hp (139mph in a 3030lb race weight)

i would like to try another stock block but would hate to have to redo it again.

i dont like the idea of running a box with coils. thats why i want to go with smart coils, but i want to make sure they can dish out enough spark for 800hp

was at the track running back to back mid 10s... took the car home seen it was getting hot when i floored it so i thought i lifted the head. did not touch it for 2 years untill now. :D you can see one of the cracks was there while the motor was running, it has a polished look to it where the crack s...

well im starting to wonder just how strong these blocks are, after pulling my motor apart i have found that two of the jugs have hair line cracks. this took place at low 600whp at the track,the psitons seem fine. so it seems that a few of us have had this problem,what do do now is the question. I do...

im not too sure.. it was long ago. built by Ivan at AMS. i can mesure..

Looks like i might be looking for a sleaved block :( dont mind all the ash, the pistons dont look that bad. some rust the motor has been sitting for a few years. this was on a low 600whp motor with over 500ft.lbs http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f43/leyanh/DSC00347.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/al...

true but i was wondering if you added one to up the power of the coils or are you making 800whp on just the coils? and some bad news.. thought i lifted the head but it turns out i cracked the block dont mind all the ash, the pistons dont look that bad. some rust the motor has been sitting for a few ...

are the S2000 coils run right off the ECU or are you running a DIS4 or twinfire type box?

i;ll take a look at mine when i freshen up my motor

looks like DIY sells them, just dont know if i want to run plug wires. 350z make 1200whp with stock coils... just dont know if they fit.

and using a CDI on the 350z can hurt them, my buddy with a turbo 350z says you see it all the time on the forums.

i just dont like the the idea of going coil on plug and still using wires.

we used LS1 coils on this 240SX with a 6262 and had some issues with break up.... now i dont know if this is because of bad wires or the wrong ls1 coils. but the MR2 with the 350z coils makes a clean 600whp with no cdi box

i have done a few big air to water setups... just dont know if i want to deal with the ice. i would like to run coils with no twin fire or dis4.... a mr2 we work on went 10.7 @ 130mph with just 350z coils no cdi box. and my block is already 11mm... but i worry about the threads pulling out.. infact ...

nice #'s clean looking car

yeah i will clean up some wire and lines for sure... problem was i was adding to the old setup all the time.. hard to keep the wires and lines clean when you are doing that.

plans are. L19 headstuds 11mm or 1/2" new bearings if needed.. was fine last time it ran but i will look over it. custom intake with that cnc'd flange new header 6765 billet turbo BB twin 044 pumps 2000cc injectors bigger garrett core with custom end tanks new COP setup that does not need a dis...

i might try them, you can also get them at mc master carr

thats a nord lock washer

i like the coil setup... and the turbo

we are running 350Z coils on a MR2 here with no CDI box (twin fire,dis4,M&W) just stright off the AEM EMS.. with my old 35R he pulled a 10.7 today 130mph.. he is making 600whp and the spark does not break up at all.

the steel ones that pinch are called stover nuts FYI

hah just been taking it easy for a bit.. helping a few other guys build their cars.. now i want to see some 9's


would you o-ring again or just L19 oversized studs?

no stat sync?

Nice setup, any tips for me looking to make around the same power? motor build wise? i have to update some stuff in my KA.. head studs bearings and head gasket.

dam... well i guess i need timserts

what if i went to the 1/2" ones people are running now? what do you guys think of 11mm L19 vs 1/2" L19

Are you guys sure about not having enough meat if you tap out to 11mm? i would think the thread pitch of the 11mm would be the same as the 10mm... therefor you could only be making the threads deeper and the minor thread diameter of the 10mm would be smaller than the 11mm so there should be enough m...

i thought it was Import DPS?

i do alot of custom fab work so i would be building a intake and header, sold my old custom stuff. car has a 3.5" exhaust.

here is a S2000 i did last summer
