Pre-turbo is where you put an egt probe .... just sayin'.
If you're a physics teacher you're likely to have a probe both before and after the turbine so that thermodynamic efficiency can be calculated.

I knew I liked you. I'll be 59 on the 3rd.
Man that thing is puuurty! Rice I would love to join and learn a little. I have a lp gas heater I used to keep houses warm. I'd be glad to bring it.

Touché .... but
The geeky engineer would have a thermocouple in the turbine housing as well
Keep on truckin' Rice.
Oh so happy that @scottryana is in on this build.
I think Ryan's bored of the regular 80 series section.....

Not so much bored as I am just in a holding pattern on any of my stuff, and the 80 section doesn't have much new going over there. I think they can get along answering "what lift for 315's" without me. haha.
Keep on truckin' Rice.

Glad to have you here, Ryan. Sorry you're not closer to Stokesdale, NC so you could also enjoy the physical part of the build.

Question. Why not go with a cometic head gasket if your doing more than 6-7psi route?
By the way nice build. Don't know how I missed this one.

Hi Marshall.
Thanks.
Considered it. The re-design of the OEM gasket in addition to the studs have me feeling okay that a reasonably small amount of boost will be fine. The main deciding factor was that OEM gaskets tend to hold better with a non-smooth head/deck surface and to use a cometic the head and deck need to have a surface finish of 50 RA or better. That's a degree of polish that Ben (machine shop) was not able to achieve.

Well, I was waiting until Saturday when I was going to post up a reminder that the engine swap was happening in ...
2 Weeks!
(Jan 7th)
Otherwise, between now and then, there is some more parts cleaning to do and yada,yada,yada.
For anyone wishing to come on Jan 7 that does not already have my address please drop me a PM so I can forward an address (@scottryana?)

Sorry all. Today was gonna be the finishing day, loaded with pics and a huge list of all that got done. I poured a 4th cup of coffee and headed to the garage early to get crank'n. Flip the light switch for the garage and got nothing from one light. A run across town was required to get a new ballast, and while I was at it 4 new bulbs. Before I knew it the day was half over and I was on my way to my mom's house to help out with some chores. I promise to get somewhere tomorrow.
The good news, man its bright in here.

You don't need to apologize to us Rice, it's your motor! Work at your pace!
I am jealous about the light. Need to fix that in my garage.

Did you powdercoat those in a gray metallic or just paint? Sharp

Hmm. Must be the 1 million candle power fluorescents that make it look gray.
. Rattle can black is what's on there. I was delighted when NAPA started putting their black chassis paint in a can rather than only selling it by the gallon. When it was only available in gallons I kept a spray gun loaded with the stuff all the time. As with any paint prep is the key but this stuff weathers like crazy.

The time consumed by all the little details is generally what makes or breaks a project. @Rice , it is evident in the rigs you drive that you spend a great amount of time on those details.
Thanks Stan. Likewise I have a tremendous appreciation for the quality work you do and admire your attention to the finer points.
In addition to being a hell of a driver my dad was also a good engine guy. But like many of us he simply had no patience for slowing down to make sure everything was spotless. As a teen I would sneak down to the shop to do cleaning and painting so it would at least look good for the first race.
