v6?

[DeeAOne]

Yessir. I bent two rods so its getting a fresh build. :goodjob:

[msanch24]

That looks like a giant bore for your little car. That thing must scoot. Whats the rebuild gonna be?

[jdm>usdm]

I saw what happened on FB man. I know that must have sucked. But I'm glad you're making the best of it. Best of luck with the build. Can't wait to see how everything turns out!

By the way, did you figure out for sure exactly what caused the motor to F up?

[DeeAOne]

Nothing crazy basically a stock rebuild with some new parts. I can't afford forged so I'm just going to use some rods out of another motor I have. Going to mill the heads to gain a little compression, and possibly port the heads too.

And James it was a stuck open injector. Hydrolocked the motor basically.

[Mirage_Turbo]

sorry man, good luck with rebuild, always loved your car..

[K24cb7coupe]

that block looks mighty clean!!!

[jdm eg6]

oh nice gl bro

[DeeAOne]

thanks everyone. :goodjob:

if it wasnt my DD id probably save a little money and do a high(er) compression all motor build, but i need my car. :(

[revenge]

that sucks but make it a bigger beast this time.

[Bacon]

that sucks but make it a bigger beast this time.

Read posts #6 and #10. It's a DD and he just needs a running motor more than anything.

Is that a 3L?!

[DeeAOne]

Its a tiny 2.5L. It gets the job done though because my car is relatively light. Its around 2250lbs.

[Bacon]

Nice. If it's compatible, a 3L from the Taurus would be stout. 3L swaps are common among the Contour chassis.

That is.......in the future anyways.

[DeeAOne]

the Vulcan 3L isnt a bad engine at all, but imo it wouldnt be considered an upgrade to me. its larger(heavier), and makes less power and torque than my KL does stock for stock. also since the KL has a short stroke for a V6 it revs decently high. :2cents:

[Bacon]

Good shit there. Keep it up. :goodjob:

i like the way you think now.

[Siverprobegt]

Let me know when your finish!That happen to me before also!

[DeeAOne]

i like the way you think now.lol. I can't go more than .020 without a tune or adjustable cam gears which don't exist. Timing would be off without it/them.


Let me know when your finish!That happen to me before also!
Will do. I'm guessing its common with side feed injectors. I've never heard of it until I got into these motors.

[Dirty Octopus™]

im so excited!

[2turbo4u]

I like your car it's different ftw!

[Siverprobegt]

timing gear do exist!how much for them is a different story!lol

Same reason I went from my 2.2L sohc to 2.0dohc. Better power stock to stock, and revs 1k higher.

Any twin turbo'd KLs?

[DeeAOne]

im so excited!you should be! it should definitely be ready for IA this year. :)


I like your car it's different ftw!thannks man.


timing gear do exist!how much for them is a different story!loli always thought the people that had them were one-off pieces. i could be wrong though. lol

Any twin turbo'd KLs?there are a few floating around Austrailia. Never seen any in the states. one of the most popular ones is in a holden commodore. makes something like 800whp on 28lbs. revs to 9,500rpms. :goodjob:

[BP06NA]

Good luck man, when do u think it will be done?

[DeeAOne]

hopefully in the next few weeks. its pretty much a waiting game right now. im getting the heads shaved, but i cant get the heads back until i get the gasket set which hasnt come in yet, because im getting valve seals done too.

my piston rings and my adjustable fuel pressure regulator came in today. thats about it.

[DeeAOne]

Maybe...lol. should be dropping it in tonight. :goodjob:

[K24cb7coupe]

Looks like we are in the same spot with empty bays. Yours will be running before mine though. But I should have the motor in this weekend. I wanna see this car in person soon.!

Lookin good bro. Did you do all the milling and polishing yourself or did you take it somewhere local?

[DeeAOne]

how much did you get milled, and is your engine interferance?The probe has the KLDE, the usdm version of mine. The KLZE is jdm.

I got them .025 over. It's non interference so you can mill up to .055 with no problems.


:no:

[Siverprobegt]

Watch yourself with that ebay regulator.There know for leaking after a while bro!

[justin30107]

Gl with the build can't wait to see it finished

[DeeAOne]

well i've been babying the car for just a little over 300 miles, so tonight i just said f--- it, and beat on it a few times. i was very impressed with how the heads helped out all the way through the powerband. pulls hard all the way through the gear and doesnt taper off like it used to.

my WOT AFR was 10.8-11.1 throughout the night. A little rich, but i'm working on that.

also had a little fun while i was at it and ran my friends gsr swapped ef. lol

[K24cb7coupe]

sounds good, fix that a/f issue and ride out

[msanch24]

thats awesome man. glad to hear its running well.
