Earth to Kirk? Lol did you disappear man?

 

[MSP Kirk]

Haha hey sorry man... Well here's an update...

Sept 1 2008- Found out my girlfriend was pregnant so plans kinda got put on the back burner! Then in January I got engaged so that was also kinda pricey. But I got a job at Trican which pays pretty good so I am still planning on geting the parts installed.

On my next set of days off (I work a 15 on and 6 off schedule) I am going to send my engine to Precise engine builders and get all my stuff installed then get everything back together.

 

[MSP Kirk]

Oh one question, will my engine start, and run with the turbo, cams, stroked crank shaft, pistons, etc without any engine management? I would like to wait and break it in before adding my Haltech and injectors.

Should work fine on stock ECU. Glad to hear from you again!

Ok sweet... I might need to drive to Calgary to get some help installing that Haltech, for a case of beer or something of course haha

And ya I haven't been on here enough. With my work I'm away alot during the fifteen days on, and when I am on days off I am really busy with baby and wedding stuff and buying a house and stuff!

Haha thanks alot man! Ya my fiancee really doesn't want me to fix it because she doesn't think it's a smart thing to do financially but I just love that car too much I could never sell it!

Are the K1 rods you have long rods?? The stoker crank requires the long rods, but on the downside some people on here were experiencing detonation problems because of them. Anyways the build looks awesome, good luck.

 

[FunkyBuddha]

Phew..thought your msp would def. get the boot. Just work on her slowly. Update with pics ASAP! Cars are never financially smart things anyways..but the smile it brings to ones face when you drive it, is almost priceless. Lookin forward to seein ya on the road man. I wouldn't survive a red light with you haha.

It's not old... it's on going haha. With a job where I am away alot, a wedding to plan, and a 3 month old, I don't have much time to work on it, but the end is nearing!

I got the FMIC from the Turbolife group buy, I think he only did a couple group buys so you have to buy them used now.

 

[ueat1023]

Ohh Ok...that Thunder is Mines...Mines...

 

[ueat1023]

OK..notice in this thread u hold the build off soorryy to hear so BUT Let me know if you get rid of the intercooler setup

 

[MSP Kirk]

For those wondering yes build is still going. I'm just waiting on the 505 intake mani and some warmer weather to get working on the car. I was just going through an old thread and I found some information that is interesting... this was quoted from Beau (Mental Addiction), on the stroker crankshaft thread.

Yes, you can keep your current turbo setup. As far as revving it, that is going to depend on how well everything flow's and is built. With a ported head, sheet metal intake, cams and a stroker kit we are looking for 8-9RPMs.
Yes, we are working on a ported head now. Price TBD.

So I have a ported head, twiggy cams, stroker crank and will have the intake mani shortly, will I really be able to do that??

 

[Maxx Mazda]

I took mine to 8K on the dyno, no point really. Power dropped off well before 7K, and the FS doesnt sound that great screaming up there haha. Plus with the longer stroke, I thought that was supposed to lower your available redline. Look at InstallShield's thread, he wrote all about it.

 

[justanothermp5]

yea strokers lower your redline

and i didnt see it in the original post, but those K1 rods are the long rods right?

 

[MSP Kirk]

Yes long rods. This is also taken from the thread,

Our stock rod ratio is 1.46. We have been offering the 5.400 rod which brought our 92mm stock crank/rod ratio to 1.49. This has helped quit abit with mid/topend power for the FS-DE. Knowing that, just know we are keeping the rod ratio around 1.49

So it shouldn't lower my redline should it?

 

[Maxx Mazda]

It's pretty complicated, but basically the FS is already a pretty "square" engine (bore and stroke are close to the same) and the stroke is so long already, that up near redline you end up with these astronomical piston speeds. Now the problem lies in trying to get the flame front to keep up with that. That's what I was told anyways. So by increasing the stroke, you're now increasing the piston speed even more. You'll get more torque at a lower RPM though with a longer stroke.
