Also curious if IAG gapped and filled the rings for you based on your planned power target in the end?

I talked with IAG and they said to stay 12.5:1 so I did. No this is their stage 2 shortblock. Mines filled with at least glitter and who knows what else. It doesnt even turn over. Here is what my short block is https://www.iagperformance.com/iag-s...ression-ratio/ so it is rated at 600bhp so it can handle the a maxed c38 they said

From your videos it looked like you got a used engine somewhere that was 100% functional so I assumed you took this working shortblock and traded it in/used as the core.

Can't wait to see this get to 600HP!

Oh yeah I do did get a donor but only used teh front cover, the upper oil pan, and the heads. Also on e85 I'll be lucky if i get near 400 wheel

Breadman · 07-30-2021, 08:14 PM

Installed a KillerB fa20 oil pickup, a Bluemoon Performance baffled oil plate, the oil pan, and install 5 exhaust studs (parts number 800910550).

Breadman · 07-31-2021, 08:26 PM

Started the day bare and moved all this stuff over from the blown engine/donor. Should be done tomorrow

Alright!!! Can’t wait to hear it fire-up!

it is fully assembled more or less waiting to get swapped in hopefully this weekend. I was going to mount the supercharger then realized it needs the ac to mount

Breadman · 08-07-2021, 07:47 AM

Well it is out but I didn't film it because I was in the street and didn't want to get run over. Only took an hour 13 mins too

Breadman · 08-14-2021, 07:52 PM

So I didn't film most of the install because it took me nearly 5 hours to get the IC/JR oilcooler/SC cooler installed. They do a complete piss poor job at making instructions for the supercharged oilcooler installer. I had to keep jumping back and forth between the 2 and after nearly 4 hours i looked up speed academy's video. They had an AC delete which made sense and i noticed the bottom AC bracket touched and just barely didnt clear. Delete that and another bracket I broke a bolt off of.

Just need a few vacuum lines and oil line and i should be good

But seriously as someone that has written somewhere around 10,000 pages of documents for work, Jackson Racing hire a fucking technical writer. I dont need a wall of text for every step with random pictures thrown in. They arent helpful. Rule of thumb at my work is if your grandma can't figure out that step on her own, add a picture. Seriously all you have to do is label each part with a letter then give maybe 3 incomplete sentences and a picture per step

Shop got back to me and they said IAG put the upper pan on wrong and it blocked the passage. So it has oil pressure now but there is a leak...

Breadman · 03-29-2022, 09:40 AM

So an eternity later it is now running https://imgur.com/cAUeoLF Now i just need to break in the engine and finish tuning before i blow up my transmission

Breadman · 06-18-2023, 09:43 PM

Yeah so a bunch of stuff happened and now it is running. Still getting use to the car, but it feels a little more understeery than I remember. Here was my fastest run which was a middle pax

DarkPira7e · 06-18-2023, 09:53 PM

Hell yeah, it seems like a rocket at high RPM, how does it feel?!

All the real power is 5.5k and above. I took a few events to actually start going for it. It looks like the trans and axles are holding so that is good. It does feel a bit understeery and that was the only run I didn't screw up 1 or both turn around. I might switch my front sway bar to full stiff because i was having trouble getting the back end around on the turn arounds.

I'm actually thinking about just keeping the car and when my wrx comes in keeping it stock. It is too fun to get rid of

And all that's left is a body moving through space and time. 7,000 RPM. That's where you meet it. You feel it coming. It creeps up on you, close in your ear. Asks you a question. The only question that matters. Who are you?
