Fukin right! I put 80k on my 4G63 at 400+whp at db and it was in great shape. As much as this whole situation saddens me, FUCK IT! I want this thing running and it will continue to get abused.

Correct.

Sounds like a sweet piston

My bad, this says 340 grams/piston. I will find out for sure; gonna try and get weight on the stock pistons/rods vs the new pistons/rods for an overall weight difference including the rings, wrist pins and everything.

*edit* with info from the actual p/n's that were ordered.

Wow that's lighter than my Evo's old shift knob! Looking good sonnnnn.

**Murlo26** · 11-09-2010

I honestly haven't heard of anyone doing a simple .020" overbore yet so I wouldn't know what to say on that. Obviously it will sacrifice some sleeve integrity, but anything worthwhile, who knows.

**scheides** · 11-10-2010

Got word back from Greg@GSC last night; their foundry is extra-way-backed-up so a decision has been made! Kelford 214-b's it is!

Holy crap everything is really in motion, I better get all of my secondary parts on the way stat. This thing might just go back together next weekend!

DoughtCom · 11-10-2010

Just remember to "take your time putting it back together"

Glad everything is working out, can't wait to see it on the road again!

**Murlo26** · 11-10-2010

Yay for local built X's, lol...funny how we all ended up doing it one way or another...maybe now you guys who gave Lomker crap for building his will realize he wasn't doing it for fun

Naa, now I can just give all three of you crap.

oooohh! very niiice man. i wanna see this car in action again!

**Murlo26** · 11-10-2010

Common for people trying to push the 4b11 to power levels the 4g63 seemed to handle alright

I am just saying Lomker flipped the coin and from the looks of it seemed to pick the right path.

I agree, Scheides is all about using as much of the stock components as he can, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Regardless, the new setup should prove very solid!

**Murlo26** · 11-10-2010

I've got brand new OEM pistons/rods with the rings etc at home if you want to use brand new stuff to get the weight comparison

**scheides** · 11-10-2010

That's ok

Also:

I LOL'd.

turbotalon1g · 11-10-2010

lol, I never saw jersey shore, but i like the music Jimmy fallon plays when he does his fist pumping, the roots are awesome.

I'm just giving you guys shit, I don't really give a crap either way. But hell now you guys can rock the shit out of some built motors.

I vote one of you guys need to big dog it and break 650ish at DB.

Give it time. One of us will get bored eventually despite what we all think right now. I am guessing Scheides will be like Lomker and myself after this and be in recovery from spending large sums of money.

however he did save quite a bit by doing a lot himself.

**scheides** · 11-12-2010

Local resources, friends, that's what makes stuff come together and keep it on schedule! I ran over to lomker's last night to beg/borrow this extra set of 4b11t headstuds he had after his debacle. Turns out to use a torque plate you need something to bolt it to the block with! Surprise! LOL Fail scheides.

So yea anyways, I ran the headstuds over to MAP last night. The block is done being bored and its finally excited about life again and ready to go have some fun! (get it? bored? I....nevermind.) Actually, it is getting its final hone today and then assembly begins.

Side note, MAP has a 4b12 block, it doesn't look as beefy as the 4b11t. The caps holding down the crank only have 2 bolts (vs 4 on the 4b11t) and the rear main seal is different. They are going to try some parts-swapping from mine and theirs to just see what is possible. Maybe on my next build

C3L1CA · 11-12-2010

Thats awesome to see it progress so quickly! It'll be a fun car for sure when it's all said and done.

Are you going to keep daily driving it with the built motor?

turbotalon1g · 11-12-2010

Give us a little spec sheet on this beast!!
