Ouch! Damn John, i was kinda hoping for right around 300, oh well! nice though

I'll be upping the antie as cash allows.
first manual trans.
then motor build
then boost returns to the car.
nitrous is not leaving
expect 400+ without nitrous.
time for an alero to really be "fast"

Well at least we have some better numbers to shoot for now! Only a matter of time before its a race to 1000hp (not near future but its possible perhaps?)

yeah 1000hp not for me anytime soon, just getting the damn motor running is running me broke! but yeah 400 is definately somewhere in the future i hope!

John, you don't scare me!!! :P

[Oldsman]

top fuelers and funny cars are about the only cars the could really scare me.

100% agree wit ya, John.

Would love to just do a burnout in one. that would be awesome.

I donno, any lightly modded camaro would take off on you from a light as you sat there and peeled the rubber off your front tires :P

Fixed

I kid I kid... I can't wait for some videos and timeslips from your project..

[springs fastest alero]

me either...
now where is that damn winning powerball ticket

seriously, this whole car thing just a money pit!!! oh well gotta do sumpthing with the money.

I do have to admit though, sounds kinda stupid and all, but i'm actually am a bit intimidated by the stupid SRT-4's!!!! maybe its cause i've never actually ran one, i mean i read on one of there forums that there is a guy doing 520+whp on stock internals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats maybe why! damn neons!

I saw a video of a guy with a stock bottom end SRT-4 pushin about that much HP blow his motor.... still though they can reach low 11's with the stock bottom end... yeah that's damn impressive.

[Oldsman]

that is.

250hp and 11's? that guy must be light as hell and know how to drive on big meats.

lol that aint right, no car can run 11's on 250 horses, old crx's with 250 to the wheels would have the closest shot, it takes a lot to make 11's..........its a dream for all of us lol

Nooo no no... stock BOTTOM END... if I remember correctly, it actually had a stock motor completely, just a lot of boost. Stock cams, head, pistons/rods etc etc... but like I said.. they were shooting for 10's that day but they blew the engine... I have a vid of it somewhere hold on...

Here we go:

There's a link to the video in that thread, but it's down now, I have it and it's pretty funny :P

yeah not sure what that SRT-4 did, but the motor itself is purely stock, he did upgrade the manifold so that a t3/t4e could be fitted! ITs just insane of a vehicle.

anyways, decided to stay in tonight, last night was pretty rough, got the crank, reinstalled it with the Clevite 77 bearings. All good, then tried to put together the conrods and pistons, but the main/wrist pins from Wiseco did not fit the opening on the Eagle Rods!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF! pulled out the caliper, and the pins were either too big or the Eagle rods opening is too small, either way not to sure what to do. Thinking bout calling both companies first, then if nothing works out, taking it to a machine shop to get the connecting rods pins opening bored out!!!!!!!!

After that i did mount the intercooler, looks nice, just gotta get a couple L-brackets welded on the bottom side. Check out the link to see the photos.

That's sort of strange considering I don't think the piston pin size ever changed on the TwinCam.. wiseco probably sent you the wrong pins considering the rods fit on the main journals so they're probably the correct size..

ok for those that still care,
got the wrist pins and rods back, had to get them honed just a wee bit! cost $20, not too bad! Put them in last night, got the intercooler brackets welded on and fully mounted. Just finished with finals, that's whats been holding me back. drinking and celebrating will take up the rest of the week, oh yeah the Pistons on friday, so maybe back to the car on Sunday, we'll see.

Hey Olds, remember the guy i was telling you bout that was doing the 086 head swap locally, we'll the guys car is up and running, he posted results on the Jbody forum, i think his screen name is JUD, it should be under boost! Impressive, Really Impressive!!!

sounds like your having fun.
I'm building a 2.4L for a customer
ran a quart and a half low on oil and it took out the rod bearings.
we just dropped it off with the machinest on monday.
tons of fun things in store.
just wish his car was a manual
