DOHC_tuner ALL MOTOR update

Well after blowing up my previous motor(it was just a valve leak)

In the process of fixing her up I seem to always want to upgrade while I got the motor under the knife

I planned for boost thus why I have low comp. pistons but I cant seem to get away from adding more Quad 4 parts. So my addiction has led to this.

High Output Camshafts...still looking for W41 cams






086 SS Valves....with swirl polish







The REAL 2.4L Twin Cam ARP HEAD STUDS!!!




Carbon fiber coolant cover....(from Scott's 209+hp Quad 4)





A freshly made 086 head!





small exhaust ports....I will gasket match them by porting all day!






Dam what cams do this?




Dual gauge pod




And my wrench monkey.....little hairy the helper!

I understand...not alot of post since not many here understand certain specs of engine building....

All i can say is its fun to learn...and if anyone needs help I'll be more than happy to help.

Heres a pic of what she looks like with the swap....(except the head)



OH...and how could I forget this

easy, dyno's are not accurate measures of power output.

but since you're interested as to why even on a Mustang dyno my numbers were ridiculous: my air filter was clogged, IATs were 160+, no meth, dyno pull was done in 2nd gear, was not spark tuned, etc.

right i understand they arent 100% accurate and you might had factors against you, but if we are talking about oldsman scott here, i must of missed his dyno thread, or 209 is a estimated crank hp

Heres a link to scotts Quad 4...and its NOT a 2.4L....its an LG0 2.3L with a 2.4L crank.

Ion just needs a good tune...he'll get there. Plus a supercharger with meth makes wonders so we all hope to see betters numbers from him.

Building a hybrid is a bitch but its fun Now its all up to the quality the machine shop did on the valve reliefs...of coarse I'll turn the engine by hand to double check clearance.




Well I got the wiesco pistons with custom valve reliefs in. ARP head stud in.





086 head modified to fit the Twin Cam...the trick is to dip the drill in oil and drill small holes to out line the shape.









OBX header ready for the Quad exhaust flange.

the LD9 has just been around longer, and the prices for LD9 aftermarket parts are coming down because the cars that have it are getting cheaper. In about 3 years, I can almost guarantee that there will be plenty of ECO Aleros getting power. (even though there are already at least a few)

Like right now I only have a new header and exhaust I'm looking at other options like an Eaton supercharger but also thinking about changing my pully or cams first.
