New On Here!!!

[Turbo_zo]

Hey everyone, I'm new on here and thought i'd introduce myself.....I have a 88' Dodge Daytona ShelbyZ, I recently put a engine in my car that I have built. This is my set-up: Its a common block with .040"over JE Pistons, Eagle Rods, 2.5L Crank, ARP main studs, Vented block, Clevite Race bearings, ARP head studs, Comettic head gasket(copper sprayed), stock head :-(, T-3/T-4 50trim Turbonetics turbo, upgraded wastegate, 89' Supra Inter-cooler, custom pipping 2.5", Jaz Oil catch can, NGK spark plugs, Magnocore Plug wires, stock SMECH, stock injectors (for now!!), Adjustable FPR, and Turbo XS boost controller. Already have a 255lb/hr fuel pump, and a 3-bar MAP sensor, just gotta get the computer, and injectors. I've been driving it for a week now, and everything is running GREAT!!! Had to fix a couple of coolant leaks but other than that its good. Let me know what you guys think. And anyone have any idea of horsepower level this engine is able to put out, please feel free to post your opinions.......Thanks alot

The block was drilled for a fitting to vent to a catch can, These motors were only vented through the valve cover.

Yea its a good idea, the more boost you run the more crank case pressure. So I thought it would be a good idea to do this. Didn't want to take any chances on blowing this engine up lol

sounds like a sweet ride, this is a cool forum when you have questions/ problems with you car.

and a sweet place for parts.

do you have them on the net already? you can give us a link.

OK---easy. if theyre on the net right click the picture, then click properties, it will have a web address, copy it, then when you post, there will be stuff at the top of the post box, for a picture click on the 'add picture' or whatever then paste it in there. should be good!
