Eric's E92 build

[Erichale77]

Finally getting car back together after a 2 year engine build. Had a lot of extensive work done by VAC on motor which includes closed deck block, stage 4 head with plugged ports and larger exhaust valves (more modifications than standard stage 3 head), 268 high lift Schrick cams with Ferrera valve train and new vanos spools.

 

[Erichale77]

I went with Arrow rods, CP pistons 10.5-1 with coated domes and skirts and hardened wrist pins, VAC coated main and rod bearings, ATi balancer and ARP main, rod and head studs. Oil pan has welded windage tray and custom oil drain fittings,

FabFactory in Tampa is doing all the custom work. I'm soo lucky to have these guys doing my build. THE BEST THERE IS! I have custom FabFactory manifold with port injection, running Injector Dynamics ID1300 injectors, Vargas double barrel shotgun, Fuel-it stage 3 lpfp in tank with custom lines and E85 sensor.

I love this car, what kind of timeline are you working on right now?

 

[Shane303]

This build better break records!! No pressure... get it?

Should be ready to fire up after Thanksgiving. Just spoke to Chris(CKI) about bringing him here to tune it then.

Bad ass, my only question, why PI with the double barrel?

 

[Erichale77]

I'm trying to break 1000HP

Been following your build too. Looks sweet.

I think they say if you go too far north of 700-800 you need PI or some kind of supplemental fuel. I can't wait to see this engine scream past 1k!

 

[Erichale77]

Properly tuning these engines anywhere past 800HP gets very tricky. Not all means of logging are effective at high rpm and big HP numbers. Fueling is only one issue to deal with.

Lol mines a junkyard build no where near as epic as yours

 

[Erichale77]

Test fitting a 355 Viper tire for flaring measurements.

Jesus dude this might be the best build I’ve seen so far. One question did you raise the torque converter on the tranny? If so to what rpm

 

[Lifestyler]

Sickest build Out there !!!

It had changes made to the internals (stator fins I think) but I need to find out exactly what. I honestly forgot it's been so long.
