3.4 stroker?

Correcto! 

Picked it up last night, jumped on it when I was told about it as I couldn't build a 30det for the price i got it for. 

So quick run down on the motor:

Spool 3.4 stroker kit, upgraded L19 rod bolts, I beams, CP Pistons, Darton sleeves, drilled returns, smoothed casting.

Head is a 25 head with solid lifter conversion, +1 valves, ported, dual springs, ti retainers, 270in 280ex cams.

Also got ATi superdamper and Kulig Trigger kit, Genuine Greddy intake, Plazmaman rail, Bosch 1650 injectors (for now).

Decided on a GTX4202r to strap to the side of it, wanted to go a PTE7675 but the Garrett is a lot cheaper. 

Still a lot of stuff to buy, he had a dry sump on it so Ive gotta get a pump and also head gasket as it has a 1.9 in there currently.

Wow thats awesome, what  times for the 1/4 are you aiming for

Will definitely be going for 8's with this setup. We will probably go a low 9 if all goes well on first outing and get booted until I get teched. Will hold off on cage and stuff for a while so I can enjoy it at happy laps and (no cage allowed) and get used to it on the street and once it's all teched go back and turn it up and see what happens :)

Cheers man, pretty excited :D Not gonna feel real until I'm a bit closer to putting it in I think ? 

Anyway finally got my converter back from TCE today and got the box back in. Almost done, just gotta pull the pan off and drill and tap for the temp sensor, put the tail shaft back on and plumb the cooler lines back in.

Got it all going yesterday, new converter feels good. Doesnt jump onto boost like I thought it should but its definitely better. Hopefully enough to crack a 10. 

New temp gauge works good, and all gauges and dash match now with the white LEDs. Temp sits on 175*F which from what Ive ready is pretty good. 

Roll racing tonight, no mickeys so traction will probably be an issue in low gear. Hopefully this crappy brisbane weather stays away.

Picked up a new set of mickeys last week and got em fitted, pulled the stupid traction rods out and replaced them with the stock ones. Even though they were both set at the same length the right side poked for some reason?! Got an alignment and they fit perfectly both sides now! Went on a safe camber at -1* incase it was my subframe that was offset but turned out to just be the traction rods. I can now pull them out to 0 camber but they hook perfect still. Might do it when I get the welds for even wear.

So silly me didn't test the transbrake before going to the strip. Got there and it was only stalling to 2500rpm... End up running a 2.7 60ft cause it took ages to get onto boost. Only did one run and went home. So I have an exhaust leak and not sure if its the gate or not but I'm about to check it out. I kinda hope its the gate as I dont wanna pull the box out again and send the converter away just to have a few passes trying to crack a 10 then pull it out and get it changed for the new motor again.

What ecu are you using? I would be going down a 2step path rather than pulling the converter

Running a link g4+, we have a 2step set to 3800rpm but it wouldnt even get to that rpm on trans or foot brake...

Bodgy option is set two step rpm to 2500 and see if you can build some boost, then deactivate 2step then trans brake. Should be able to that with a timer setup for consistency.

Nah I'd rather get it fixed properly so all I have to do is transbrake and go. I wasn't using the 2step last time as the stall speed was too low and wouldn't cut properly above stall speed.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
