yeah id love to see some pics man that would be great......how hard was the install for you

 

**** lemme run 17psi too :x

 

cuting funds is the easiest way to destroy a high power engine, your going to be spenind 10k+ as is so why not a few hundered more to do it the right way?

 

Easy install, I did everything by myself motor slid in with no problem. I used common hand tools and an engine hoist. I have a 2 car garage and 4 jack stands. If I can pull off this swap anyone can. Brian Hinson is a big help and answered all my questions. I did have to wait on parts so order them ahead of time. I just added a zex nitrous kit not shown in pic.

 

^over the top

 

that is awsome so im going to asume u got all ur parts through brian hinson? id like to talk to u sometime on the phone if u wouldnt mind and ask some question s and what not i would really appreciate it email me with ur number if its cool with you my name is john

 

do all you guys with 350+hp have your motors dowled?...all have the coolant mod?...

 

hey i DID that FANCY porting. templates courtesy of kahren

 

thanx neverenough ill give you a call somtime

 

I would actually like to know this as well, who does and who doesn't. I heard a while ago that dowl-pinning is not as necessary as people make it out as..and the idea of someone messing up my motor, trying to add more dowl pins, just scares me :O

 

mine is not doweled. what coolant mod are you talking about?

my sig didnt show up in my post before, so here it is.

 

a-men brotha... haha

i wanted around 320-350whp... but my motor isnt dowled.. some people say it safe, some not...

i dont beat on the car a lot, and i wouldnt have it running on high-boost the whole time...

 

no. and no.

do you really think thats necessary?

its unfortunately that all this hear-say is still floating around about this type of stuff

 

i have coolent mods, dowled no.

 

ur sig sux ***.....it scares me........ :-P

 

Not dowled, no coolant mod (never even heard of this).

Lots of schools of thought on the subject of dowling. I maintain that its not necessary at this power level.

 

i've ALWAYS heard from EVERYONE anything past 350hp at the flywheel should be dowled...

what i wanna know is, how many miles you guys have put on your 350whp motors

 

I bet a certain vendor told you that.

It's a good idea, but not absolutely necessary. Really, you start to get into the need to dowl around 450 HP...

 

I've been pushing ~400 to the wheels for over 25k miles now on a s4 with no mods to the block.

 

Ive probably got over 50,000 miles on this current motor.

 

when my setup is dyno'd I would be happy if I got 8k miles out of the motor at over 500 rwhp. I plan to have a RE built to the hilt when this built s4 goes

 

500RWHP with the mods in your sig?

WITH A WALBRO... yeah right!

 

REALLY, wow....

that makes me feel all warm inside... alright then, im gonna go for my 350-400whp goal then

cheers,Dan
