The Manhattan Project (Phantom X Evo's engine build) Third Turbo Choice
Well we just pulled the engine last night and are going to tear into it and get it ready to ship to MAP for in the next couple of days.
Here are a few shots I took on my phone while we were working.
The timing chain tensioner is kinda neat, as it doesn't require adjustment.
We were concerned with the wear on the cam bearings for an engine that has <10K miles on it. The grooves are noticeable to the touch and showed up really well in the photos. I'd like anyone with experience on this to disscuss, please.
Ask any racer, any real racer, it don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile, organization is key.
This is what is going in an on this bad boy:
Darton sleeves
JE 90mm 10:1 pistons
Manley TT rods
MAP Stage 3 head w/ +1mm Supetech valves and springs
GSC 2 cams
ETS 4" Black intercooler and pipes
Buschur Double Pumper
FIC 2150cc
Magnus CMC (AMS ring lasted ~1500 miles)
Full Race twinscroll T4 Borg Warner Series EFR 8374 turbo kit .92 A/R IWG (well this was the plan untill the ship date kept moving, and now is around end of sept)
ETS V-Band Billet 6266 Turbo kit w/4" intake
I think I will be the first X to run the EFR, because I can't find any Evos with them on except acssa (evo9) and Sierra Sierra. (no longer )
I will post more pics (hopefully better ones) and info up as it comes along. Feel free to ask any question you may have.
ETS 6266 Turbo kit came in. Pics on page 2
Block and head came in. Pics on page 3

Cool, Mike said you wanted to be there for taking the head off and internals out. We have not started that yet. Oh, and Mike is holding onto the downpipe if you still want it.

Awesome looking build, basically the same motor I have
I'd be careful shooting for any kind of number on 93 octane with the higher compression. I'd say just run it at 20-24psi, but on that size turbo I guess I don't see why you couldn't make 550whp. Remember, high compression sucks for high boost. But I love where this build is going. In for numbers for sure.

Just finished dis-assembling the block tonight for shipping. I'll updated pics soon.
Now updated. Please look at the cam bearings and discuss if you have any input.

Well MAP has the block and head. The EFR turbo is not going to be here till late Sept, so I am going with a ETS V-band billet wheel 6265 turbo kit w/4" intake instead. I was planning on this turbo before the EFR anyways, and I can't afford to wait that long (maybe longer) on the EFR turbo.
