Re: Ice's fully-baked turbo build

This is the PM LAN sent me when I asked him where to get them now that he stopped carrying them. (I hope he doesn't mind that I posted it.) I'm emailing Summit racing now to see if they can get them. If I can't get those then I'll order some of the ACL HX bearings that Bazza used. He posted the part number in some thread.

Re: Ice's fully-baked turbo build
Ok I went ahead and ordered the main bearings (KGB-MB5234AM) from summit. I'll let you know when they email me back about the rod bearings.

Re: Ice's fully-baked turbo build
Yes that is what I was looking at as well after reading his build. Thanks very much for the info!! Also those are standard size, how are you going about setting up the clearances?
Looking excellent. cheers -Evan |

Re: Ice's fully-baked turbo build
Setting up the clearances I will have the machine shop do. But there should be no reason the standard size won't work, the engine was in running condition when I started.

Re: Ice's fully-baked turbo build
Well they emailed me back and said that they could special order them for me and they're only like $18 per set. So I finally ordered bearings. Thanks for ending my procrastination.

Re: Ice's fully-baked turbo build
Glad I could inadvertently be of some help. Standard size makes sense now (having a known, good running motor before the rebuild). I pulled my engine from a car I'd never heard run, so I'm going to have to measure up the crank and see if standards will work. I might just get it ground .010 undersize so that its a tighter fit with new .010 undersize bearings.
Also, did you happen to get a part number for the rod bearings that were special order? Or do I just need to email them and they'll figure it out. Thanks for all the information, it will be very helpful! cheers -Evan |

Re: Ice's fully-baked turbo build
Ok, got the bearings. I'm relocated temporarily to my parents' house until we buy a new house, so about 90% of my car stuff is in storage until then. The short block and heads and the parts for them are here with me though, so I'll be taking the engine to the machine shop ASAP so that hopefully it will be done by the time we move and I can actually start doing my part of it then.

Re: Ice's fully-baked turbo build
Ok, the stuff is at the machine shop and they're working on it. They called me today and said that the CP pistons didn't come with circlips. The Subaru part number that I was able to find for them was 805323040. That's for the newer 23mm wrist pins of the EJ20x and EJ25x, and also the number that supersedes the one I found for the EJ22s. Our wrist pins are also 23mm, so it ought to be the same. I'm going to have them order some in the morning, but if someone could confirm that it's the right number, that would make me feel a lot better.

CP's usually don't come with rings, which is also good as you use the Subaru ones as they're far better (that's if you don't like blow by of course)! Although I see you've got Wiseco rings - they should be fine. Last edited by bazza; 09-05-2012 at 05:20 PM. |

Re: Ice's fully-baked turbo build
Sh*t just got real folks. The engine builder just called and said that it's done and ready to be picked up.

Re: Ice's fully-baked turbo build
Just some quick pics I took last night. We'll call this the "before paint" set, because I am planning on painting it pretty soon. I had been hoping to get a chance to go to the machine shop to have a look at the insides of the shortblock while it was taken apart, but they put it together quicker than I expected (not complaining, lol). So I don't have too much engine porn for you guys to look at. To recap, what's inside it: CP 9:1 forged pistons STi rods + ARP rod bolts ARP head studs Cometic headgaskets King silicon/aluminum rod/main bearings The rest is yet to come. I mentioned before, but most of the rest of the engine is in storage, so I can't really do any assembly for a while.
