    1st Teardown While I Build Up

    Update, been having a ton of fun lmfao. PI is almost complete. Cleaned my valves out, and they were bad! Currently stuck with 1 injector pulled, 2 stuck, and another that the torx retainer bolt is rounded, so also stuck. Fun fun fun! I also managed to extend my wiring harness to tuck it once my...

    1st Teardown While I Build Up

    Bit of progress but my kit included the wrong AN fitting from the bottom of the fuel cell direct to the 1st fuel filter. Waiting on an adapter to come from Amazon to increase from 12AN to 16AN but managed to get the tank in, wire the low fuel light, and put everything together to be installed...

    Repair to Build/Build to Repair

    Don't forget you do have the option to throw Darton Dry Sleeves in and start over at 87.5mm. You'll need the machine shop to install the sleeves and that's not the cheapest thing, but you should end up with a bulletproof block that can handle everything you throw at it! And by going back to...

    1st Teardown While I Build Up

    Was able to get a bit of bowl sanding done yesterday but not nearly enough time to play in the garage. Should be getting some more done tonight.!

    1st Teardown While I Build Up

    Made a bit of progress on the intake ports today, managed to get all of the smaller ports roughed up. As well as I knocked down the lump in the middle of all the larger ports. Should just be some sanding and polishing and the intake side will be complete! Exhaust should be simple but I'm...

    1st Teardown While I Build Up

    After much discussion with my neighbor the machinist, it has been decided I cannot repair the cylinders on this block due to a couple having somewhat deep scratching. Any attempt to hone them out would be too detrimental to the piston - cylinder clearance and would completely ruin my plans of a...

    1st Teardown While I Build Up

    Finally got the 12pt socket to pull the ARP head bolts and remove the head. Dang thing looks like it just got machined. Brand new Cometic head gasket, and I can clearly see the shiny stamp of 008 from the machine shop I assume signifying .008 was removed. Bore appears to be 87.75 so there is...

    1st Teardown While I Build Up

    The head on this new motor already has a DIY port job done on the intake and exhaust ports so I figured I might as well dive in. And it has begun...

    1st Teardown While I Build Up

    Been an MS3 fan since 2013 when I got a Stock Gen2. Drove it for a couple years but had to let it go... Fast forward to 2023 when I decided to get myself a speed3 as a project. I happened to stumble on a great find. 2008 Speed3 Dankai 1 Blueprinted Engine CS Intake CS EBC Full Damond motor...

    CP-E HPFP vs Corksport Internals?

    Yeah you should! I've been lurking on here about a year reading as much as possible, and I've heard about using redline FIC to prime and lube but lighter fluid to clean is new to me

    Where to find a new engine?

    Beltec has been putting out some very good looking motors! I think you'd have more flexibility to change things internally per your preference with them but I can't truly speak to how the others operate so don't quote me on that

    CP-E HPFP vs Corksport Internals?

    I always follow the corksport video and use brake clean with Q tips, changing filter and O rings accordingly. I run 93 through it no corn. But I definitely hear you on the importance of backup parts lol God knows what could happen and it may come in clutch if my CS internals die

    CP-E HPFP vs Corksport Internals?

    Well I have not opened it, however it is going to need to be cleaned because it came off the engine... so is the consensus it's just oem with auto tech internals? Not really worried about having a backup because I clean mine up occasionally to make sure it's not getting nasty. Just want to...

    CP-E HPFP vs Corksport Internals?

    I just got my hands on a CP-E HPFP that looks pristine. It was part of a group of parts I just purchased from a blown Speed near me. My question is are the CP-E considered better than having corksport HPFP internals? Curious if I should be swapping my pump or just putting it up for sale if there...
