bpd1151's 2010 SHO Rebuild Thread.....

[BamSHO]

I think he broke up with me, he's all lovey dovey talk then won't come north of the Mason Dixon line of Interstate 80.
I'll be OK, if it gets him more time to build his true love monster it's better for all.
Now I'm having thoughts of the crate motor going into a P1800 Volvo at 400-500 hp. intake sticking proud out a hole in the hood.

I thought Mike liked your sausage Abe, aren't you the Sausage King of Chicago.

Hooey pricey pricey! Today I ordered the OCC from UPR.

Along with all possible/available upgrades.

Crirmeny. Sure hoping its worthy of the investment.

One more piece of the equation.

Dang. I've been looking at catch cans for my v8 coyote f150 but $500? Post back with how you like it

 

[bpd1151]

Mind you, it started out at like $350.

But that was the basic kit. Which seems on par for most other competing products.

I chose to buy in on all the available upgrades offered, which brought the price up to where it is shown at completion of sale.

Damn, that's every option available! Nice! It's worth it

 

[SM105K]

Yes sir. Completely worth it.

Placed an email inquiry to x35 Designs, in regards to their new product offering (Phenolic Spacers) and expressed willingness to pay in full immediately, to facilitate a quick turn around.

Also, received data from the machine shop owner this morning regarding flow data on BOTH the Intake, and the Exhaust ports, for all of the extreme custom porting work that has been performed on my heads.

The data displays 'BEFORE' and 'AFTER' #'s for public consumption. I have been told this improvement (a nearly 26% increase on the intake side, and 44% increase on the exhaust side) is projected to provide an 80 to 85hp improvement on just this one modification alone.

Getting more excited as the clarity and culmination of several months worth of work, is beginning to show HUGE improvements in many areas.

Hope everyone's New Year is off to a great start! Enjoy!

Getting excited for you Mike.

Heads are nearly complete.

Machine shop owner began researching cams, and pretty much came up empty handed.

As such, we have decided to roll with custom, upsized/enlarged valves, to make up for a slight anticipated cfm loss from a replacement stock cam not being able to hit the peak flow #'s achieved from the custom porting.

The aforementioned, netting us a slight gain. Which is great.

Having a few more items thermal coated.

Assembly work beginning soon, and more engine **** pics should be forthcoming.

Re-visited / re-discussed turbo's again. Still being told to stay put with the ATP's (for now). There's some curiosity in where they'll max out as it relates to my build specifically.

The expectation is we will max them out, and when that occurs, we'll re-approach and will go with a completely custom, one-off turbo set up in the future. Which is fine, as it'll give me time to work more O.T. and save up $$$$$. Likely have to modify the DP's at that time as well.

Ummm..... what else?

Being told the trans vendor's waiting on a few more parts. But it's coming along. Also was told that the trans was in much better shape than the vendor anticipated. Stated there was some minor scoring on the trans pump itself, but otherwise, all else checked out good. Still, the trans vendor knows my desired goals, and is doing their best to build something decent that'll take the anticipated abuse. Fingers crossed.

Received the UPR dual OCC. All aspects of the kit appear well built, beefy/sturdy.

Looks like we'll be rolling with an SCT based tuning device. Likely gonna get the 'Livewire +TS' or whatever the latest offering is.

A continued work in progress. I'll post pics as they are provided to me. Hope everyone's doing well.

Sounds like good progress to me

This may be a stupid question, but are the f-150 cams the same? They do have larger turbos (only slightly) but would that make a difference at all assuming they fit and they are different?

Forgive me if this has already been answered, but what kind of hp/tq numbers are you hoping to make?

I have no idea if this is a realistic option, but in the 2.3 turbo Ford world, we have a vendor, Boport, who custom grinds cams. I picked up 40 hp with just his cam. You (BPD1151) might reach out to him and see if he has any ideas.

Old motor was just over 800HP at the crank, conservative numbers are mid 900HP.

Thank you to all who have provided suggestions regarding cams.

I have consulted with (and have passed along the info to) my builder, who replied that he will research and crunch #'s so to speak, to potentially make use of whatever is best for my application specifically.

Pistons have been completed and pics provided earlier today. Chugging along on the train of progress!

That is some really pretty engine jewelry that will never be seen again!
After the motor goes together of course..
