Mazdaspeed2oo35 Engine Build Round 2

[TheMAN]

I had friends here in DFW run 20psi on a bone stock block with a J&S and MPI tuner... stock injectors and fuel pump... the motor held fine!
one is now built up because the WGA failed and ran full boost, and ALL IT DID was broke a ring land in the piston... the broken piston DID NOT **** up the cylinder walls, and NO metal trash went into the oil/engine... the engine was clean as hell when I tore it down... it burned oil like a motherfucker because of that though.... but, had the J&S not been there, the rod would've waved hi to everyone

another blew up because the retard was too lazy to check his oil, so it ran low and went boom... no tuning fault, not J&S's fault, not fuel's fault... just plain stupidity

when you hear or see ping on a light, it's already too late... I'll ask this again... is your foot faster or the computer?

anyone still want to race a computer?

Miguel, it's not exageration, from what I know, you are #2 after the 680HP FS in Puerto Rico. You are not a mild build, Your's is EXTREME ! So if you can protect it as best as you can, then why not !!

I know what your saying but they dont make or sale them anymore, I mean i have no other option than keep going until some J&S comes up for sale and try to get it, im not saying is not needed i know it is but i have to wait til somebody sells one for a reasonable price.

Miguel, I don't know if you missed it but I posted that J&S are almost ready to ship.

Get in touch w/ me.

Today Ive done some more work to the engine, Ive already installed the ARP Head studs using the ARP Lube that comes with, Installed head Gasket, awesome detail the Custom performance Head gasket i installed came from Belguim instead of Germany and they come with the name of the person that make them printed in the Gasket, first time i see this, not even Cometic does this, they do that incase head gasket came with deffects they know who did them with the correspondant serial number, after installing the head i went and did the overhead cams i found out TBK-Hiboost converted the Hydraulic lifters to Mecanical for high horsepower application, but another problem came up, i need new shims if that what they are called in order to finish up the head assembly, i hope they make them in here if not well need to measure them as needed and get them from USA and that means more delay to finish it up, here are the pictures i took, Enjoy... Positive and negative feedback are welcome.


This is Old Cometic Head Gasket Next to New Custom Head Gasket with the name of the Person who did the head, they come with their name printed in the gasket for quality control and defects that way they know who did it and in what batch they came from, ive never seen this before on any head gasket ive seen , Even Cometic dont do this ,Im very impressed..

ARP Head Studs Installed.

I love this Picture, came out Sick !!!

ARP Head studs, Custom head Gasket and Head Installed

I need new Shims for the Cams.

if you have a Mazda dealership with a parts department near you. You should be able to order them directly from Mazda. I got all of my solid lifter and their needed shims (measured by the builder of course > 16L+16S) from a local Mazda dealership. Wasn't cheap though, and may have cost a little over $450 to complete the whole conversion. The shims were some where between $100-140 for all 16, if I remember correctly.

The engine is looking really good!

Sweet..

Thanks Guys, everything is coming out as spected, but some plans has changed the actual engine compression is 8.8:1 instead of the 8.0:1 Ive said before, according to my mechanic 8.8:1 is the perfect compression combination of high boost and good engine response, that along a big turbo, 505zoom IM and the 38 PSI spike and constant between 32-35 PSI we are going to be running he said the car is going to be an absolute insanity in the road. I cant wait to have my 505zoom Intake Manifold installed, break in the engine and get the insane tune my mechanic have promise me, this time he said hes going to completely redo my Haltech map with a very very aggressive one, using very aggressive timing and fuel maps on methanol to squeeze every possible HP i dont know what numbers ill be putting down but i know that this time with all the new parts ive installed and new ones are coming in anything above 515whp ill be more than satisfied most likely what is going to let us know where to stop are going to be my injectors probrably ill needed bigger ones if we want to make very higher numbers than the ones ive mentioned above but only time will tell when we get to that stage of tunning the car and upping the boost... I hope my transmission will hold the punishment !!!!

 

[Wagonbacker9]

yeah 8.8 is gonna be a lot more aggressive all by itself... should be insane.

 

[Mazdaspeed2oo35]

Yeah bro, Thats what my mechanic said, 8.8 is going to be hell more responsive and ideal for the amount of boost we are seeking to push. 38 PSI spike and between 32-35 psi throught the entire power band. he told me we can take my injectors to a max of 90% Duty Cycle if he makes a good ass tune, but we have to wait and see at 90% DC in what HP range well be at to determine if we need bigger ones or just with a good tune.

there's no lifter "conversion" in our cars... we already HAVE mechanical lifters
the only people who need to convert are the probe/mx-6 guys

you don't set the lash from the lobe, you set it from the base circles! your pic is showing it wrong!

Remember that the head that i currently own right now didnt came with the car, TBK-Hiboost brought it outside USA and i dont know from what car was it, mazda or ford i dont know, and my mechanic told me they did Hydraulic to Mechanical conversion, actually he showed me some stuff in there that clearly shows it was Hydraulic before...

unless this is a significantly different design than the lifters on my DOHC isuzu engine, the only difference would be lifters themselves, as I did a direct swap from a 1.6l cam with solid to 1.8l with hydraulic, but just the same, I'd like to know for real what that head came off of!

Well all i know we waited for the head long ass time and came from outside USA, since i dont have any relationship with TBK or Hiboost do to the problems we had in the past i have no way of finding out from where and what car uses this head, i know it was a little different from the one that came with my car, and that they did everything else to it. btw if i need new shims which i need if i find out what i need with the measurements can i buy them there in USA, do you have any idea ? i dont think ill be able to get them or get them made in here, any thoughts ?

 

[Wagonbacker9]

should be an OEM part.. I can't imagine they'd have any need to make different diameter lifters... but I'm just speculating, without knowing where the head came from I think its going to be difficult to answer that.

well what i only need is the little Watch Battery looking part that sits ontop of the lifter i believe its call shims, sorry for my ignorance my mechanic told me they can make them in different thickness, are we talking about the same stuff ? because thats the only thing i need

yeah i get you, I didn't want to bother trying to do all that when I did my cam swap, thats why I went with the hydraulics. and if mazda makes any different diameter lifters, that would change the diameter of the "watch batteries" you need. I doubt they'd use different sizes, but who knows.

because what happened is that when i installed the cams, some lifters touches the cams and some have gaps between, so my mechanic told me i need to get the top part of the lifters which you can remove and get them in the thickness i need for all of them to be even do i make sense ? he took one of t he lifters off and through the bottom of the lifter with a screw driver he took the battery looking type thing of the lifter i remember its 27mm diameter but we need to measure all of them and buy them in the thickess we need in order to all of them be even with the cams, according to him all the lifter should have a gap between the cams, and some do and some dont. i believe ive heard him saying something about when the valves gets hot they close or some s*** like that..
