SomeZero Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 I check out the piston on cyl 4 today now that it is out of the engine. 3 tiny cracks in the ringland so small I had a hard time seeing them after swav pointed them out twice. I'm amazed at how fragile these boxer motors are. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebo03 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I think the piston in cylinder 4 is intentionally made weaker than others as a safety measure. The knock sensor sits closest to cylinder 4. I guess their logic is for cylinder 4 to go first and hopefully spare additional damage in all cylinders.

SomeZero Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 When the entire system was pulled it no shit looked like a frosty from Wendy's dripping out the intercooler and charge pipe Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeZero Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 KimiThe biggest problem with building is adding to it add you go. Hard to not go crazy as long as motor is out and Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebo03 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 My best advice is do it once, do it right and don't look back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeZero Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 Yeah mostly thats the way. Just gets tough looking at cams and head work. The cost to HP ratio sucks when so much of this is custom fab already. 2 set of steel lines from the trunk are pricey.

acumenhokie Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Details on custom headers please. I might want them to make 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeZero Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 Stock headers are being transformed to accommodate an EWG for the 20g. The other option was to extend them to move to a fog light turbo location to go bigger turbo. But then the uniqueness and benefits of the 5thgen turbo set up are gone. This way I can squeeze out this turbo has to offer now that I'm running a forged motor fmic and ewg. The only unknown or limiting factor is how much can this trans take before shitting itself. When that happens we will see about getting the spec.b 6 speed to fit. But the challenges there are motor mounting, drive shaft differences and shifter positions. If your interested in them making you one shoot Swav from 6 star a message (he has posted a few pages back). I would talk to them but I'm on vacation this week and not sure I'll getbover there.

acumenhokie Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Stock headers are being transformed to accommodate an EWG for the 20g. I dropped my car off last week with the intention of doing the same thing. Once my installer has it off and is ready to scheme I'll give 6star a call and see what options they offer.
