Re: Russianred's Turbo Build Thread! *UPDATED 10/10/10*

Block is all taken apart - both faceplates off, crank and pistons out, and both balance shafts removed. Time to order all needed bearings, gaskets, seals, and bolts to rebuild it. I need to figure out exactly which bolts will need to be upgraded, and exactly which seals need replacement.

I had no idea that there were 2 balance shafts! Does the balance shaft removal kit delete both of them?

Now I need to wait for spring financial aid to actually begin the sleeving/boring process at the shop. Another stressor is added to my life, my scumbag filthy pig roommates have decided that I 'didn't fit their lifestyle', because I like to keep a clean place, I like consistent communication, and I like fair treatment. **** them. Therefore, I need to find a new place to live... :madrun: God I wish I could stuff a fat fist of sh*t right into their mouth and make them taste every piece and aspirate it resulting in choking to death.
this made me lawl

That definitely brought the :lawl:s. But living by yourself is the best way man. It costs a little more, but you never have to deal with anyone else's ****.

Any input on the Kaizenspeed kits? I'm particularly wondering in the pros / cons of having them installed for high whp applications, and decrease or retention of reliability. I don't want the installation of this kit to make my engine more vulnerable at higher WHP.


Ya ya I'll take pics today. Been busy.


Another unrelated concern - what settings should coils be on for storing a car in one place? My Tein SS are still on the stiffest setting since I stopped driving the car, is there a need to reduce stiffness or do anything else to prevent damage from standing for a while?

Thanks Matt! I'll be getting the kit.

Any other input appreciated, and also anything you guys got on the coilover question.

Re: Russianred's Turbo Build Thread! *UPDATED 10/10/10*

I don't really see any reason to do the balance shaft delete in our cars. I know they do it in dsm's because their balance shafts have a nasty habit of failing. Correct me if I'm wrong but I've never heard of someones balance shafts **** up in our cars. I thought about doing it to mine but the only benefits I was told was that it decreases rotational weight and frees up a little bit of oil pressure, but I'm not building a race car so those are two things I'm not horribly worried about.

Does anyone with a little more knowledge about our motors have a reason why the balance shaft eliminator kit should be done?
