Sweet build, looks like both of us are going for similar power.

Since you've selected the Y7, check out this link. You DEFINITELY want to look into doing the oil pump mod, and you may need to notch the block for the rods (I'm not sure on the tuner toys).

Check it out, last thing you want is for that engine to go because the oil pump sucks.[&:]

Good looking build so far though, looks like it's gonna be a fun time when you're all said and done. Oh, those guys who said you can't make 300whp out of a Dseries can go stuff it.

 

well i fully hot tanked the head, dissassembled the whole rocker assembly and took out all the valves, ported and polished intake and exhaust, port matched the gaskets, brand new seals and gaskets. took the car apart last night and did the whole install including adjusting the valve clearance. First start up went really good she idles perfect and only jumps about 20 rmp's at idle. the only downfall but i knew it has to happen is that since the car was tuned for the 8 valve head it was running 14.7 at idle but as soon as .01 throttle was applyed it would go straight to lean and cut out. So the next step is streat tune the car so it can be driven lightly to my tuner and get it to work were i'm putting on a mandrel bend 3" piping from the turbo clear to the muffler (custom) with a flex pipe to keep rattles down. Valve cover is getting repainted from the ford blue thats on it now to the gun metal grey like the valve cover on the d16y7 that im building.

 

pics or ban!

 

I second this motion

 

im at school but i will get some on my next off hour. the ports look just like the d16y7's but i will get some pics

 

the first two pics are of the 8 valve head lol. you could barely stick a guarter in the exhaust and intake ports

last ones are of the 16 valve installed

i know im gonna get sh*t for my wastegate open right above my filter but im ordering a flange so i can dump it to the ground dont worry lol..

nice job on getting the head from peg. ya you need to make a dumptube, dont wanna catch your engine bay on fire.

 

I thought you meant that you completed the engine LOL. well i hope you like the new head a lot more then the old man, i am sure it will be a lot more peppier

 

yeah im hopping

 

well 16 valves vs 8 valves. factory 102hp vs factory 72hp... i think there will be a difference of a couple dozed HP
