decided to let my techs build me a motor. i built the last one with minimal success. granted, im no way no how a tech by any means, but at least i tried. got the motor to run and even make 485 rwhp at 16psi. nevertheless, i don't trust the motor and it has some peculiar issues.

so with that being said, LEXOTIC v. 5.4953 has begun!

.20 over on the block
1mm oversized valves
cp pistons
eagle rods
supertech valvetrain
hks 264s
etc etc


the block and the head are at the machine shop. most of my parts have arrived. the time is NOW! woot woot! can't wait to finally throw some race gas in and have uncontrollable power. shooting for about 900 rwhp. i may have to cheat a little and spray a 50 shot, only time will tell.

 

1mm over on the valves? You should ask Phil Panas or Dave Henry about the heads I did for them...but I'm sure the shop doing yours is good, eh?

 

^ yeah, 1mm over. not going crazy with the head work right now. just doing the oversized valves and some port matching, but its at will's machine shop currently.

 

Aww man you kinda are making me nervous. I plan to get a 1jz soon to wrench on before I put it in my SC. As a novice I hope I am not shooting myself in the foot. Anyway what are you going to put it in your is?

 

Please give us project updates!
