IMO turbo doesnt make cylinder pressure, the fuel does that. turbo makes maybe 60# boost at full song

Agreed but a naturally laggy turbo would help wouldn't it?

Yes it does.

Maybe time for a s475?? I don't want to lose too much street driveability.

I was going to suggest a 472. Maybe time for gearhead tunes?

I have gearhead tunes

OBS-Addiction97 · Jan 12, 2015

I think forged rods are gonna eventually pop no matter who's tunes you run.

The lack of RPM's on the street aren't going to get enough air flowing, and the engine is going to run hot. Exasperating the issue especially in those front 2 cylinders, where the air flow is the worst.

What number hole did that rod come out of OP?

OBS-Addiction97 · Jan 13, 2015

Cylinder # 2.

Apparently that's the same rod that broke on Mjs motor.

Mine threw number 3

Well technically it didn't "throw" it but mine pulled appart right below the wrist pin then had a field day after that

02BigD · Jan 13, 2015

Mine bent 1,2,3 cryo'd and shot peened rods. Tunes from someone not mentioned yet (no Joe, it wasn't your friends).

What do vavlvesprings have to do with blowing rods out the block

OBS-Addiction97 · Jan 20, 2015

I picked up a 2000 long block today, I've got a couple questions.

Will my hpop work on the 2000 timing cover?

Are there any other differences related to the timing cover? (Water pumps?)

Yes hpop will bolt up, and front cover will be the same. Not positive on water pumps, I want to say they're different
