Tnhatch03's Boost Build

[Tnhatch03]

More pictures on Page 3.

This is going to be the "2nd Edition" since the last one got deleted. This is going to be a SLOWWW build for me. I will try and keep things updated as much as possible. But without further ado, let me tell you the plans as of now. I am pretty solid about the bottom end plans.

K20A2 Bottom End
Benson Sleeves
- 87mm
- Open Deck
ACL Bearings (added 2/3)
Golden Eagle Oil Squirter Plugs (added 2/3)
Balance/Micropolish Crank
9.0:1 JE Pistons or CP
Eagle H-Beam Rods

I have not decided what I want to do with the head as of now. I will figure that out when I get there.

I am pretty sure I am going to get a Sidewinder Manifold, Larger Turbo, External Wastegate, Dumptube, Injectors. Again, I have not planned out that far.

What good is a build thread without pictures? I do not know either, but here are some.

Here is my trusty manual, that has helped me most of the way.


I got a really good deal out of the block. It was TOO good to pass up.



Of course, I could not have got this for a great deal without some type of issue. Piston to valve contact = :boom:



So... I purchased an Engine Stand from Harbor Freight and mounted the engine on the stand and got to work. Slowly, hahaha.


Crank was in pretty good shape.




I took out the crank and set it aside.





The crank on its way to get shipped to LaskeyRacing to get some work done.


I finally got a chance to pull out the Pistons/Rods and see how the rods looked. The rods are still in great shape.

NICE! can't wait for more pics!

Whats your plan's on it?

[Tnhatch03]

This is how the motor sits as of now. Going to be shipping out the block as soon as I get a chance.


The Oil Squirters will be removed during sleeving.

Full Boost!! 500 whp club.

I am wanting to do all the work myself. Tearing the block apart is a sinch. I am worried about putting it together. I may end up buying all the pieces and taking the bearings/pistons/rods/block/crank and having a shop install them.

i would for sure clean up that nasty cylinder one exhaust port.
that looks like he had some serious fuel issues.

The head is fried. I donated it to a metal shop.
