Fineline Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I was thinkin about getting those BFG's.. how do you like them?the tread pattern is sick.. I'm somewhat partial to Toyo's but it might just boil down to price?... I love the look of them but theyre WAY expensive. Not worth it in my opinion. I got theme with the rims. Quote Link to comment
69FJWagon Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I love the look of them but theyre WAY expensive. Not worth it in my opinion. I got theme with the rims. FALKEN rt615s... for the dry best inexpensive tire for your buck IMO Quote Link to comment
Duke Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 FALKEN rt615s... for the dry best inexpensive tire for your buck IMO I agree. Especially if you are running 14's or 15's. Kumho Ecsta MX's are a really good tire in the same price range. Not quite as sticky as the falken's but the tread pattern is a little more forgiving in the rain. Quote Link to comment

I had a nice long burnout planned but Mr. police man killed that idea. Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 I'm sure we wouldn't mind watching ANOTHER clip of yours. Jester Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 you post em, i watch em.. bein that im a fellow 620 guy and a l20b fan i can really appriciate the work that you've done, i just want to see you show off your hard efforts!! ;) Quote Link to comment
510six Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 That L20et is bad ass...I bet the T28 spools RIGHT NOW on the L20. The work looks very clean. Quote Link to comment
Fineline Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 That L20et is bad ass...I bet the T28 spools RIGHT NOW on the L20. The work looks very clean. Thanks. Its pretty much making boost off idle. Quote Link to comment
510six Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I had a L 28 3 liter stroker with a CT26 (small T4-T4) and it made boost at about 2K, but ran out of breath by about 5 grand. It was fun for making boost right off of a corner or scaring the shit out of unsupecting passengers. The current T67 is a Serious attention getter "once" it spools at about 4000 rpm. The intake and exhaust on the L20et look like it would flow well at higher rpm, BTW the headwork looks great as well, I would be curious to see how a larger turbo would work with your setup.It all depends on what you want to do with the truck.

CT26. Isnt that a Toyota turbo? Sounds like fun. Right now I am just playing around with the thing. After all the fabrication Im stoked to just get it running. I have it limited to 5000 rpm while im tuning it and so far it holds 10lbs right to it. Ive still only got it to a max of 60% throttle! I did some tuning today and hopefully have some of the lean issues worked out. Ill see tomorrow am. Someday down the road I may look into a 3071 or something but Im leary about what the bottom end will hold. I want to get a few dyno runs on this thing before I go and get silly with it.

lynchfourtwenty Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 thats true man, but im sure that bottom end will hold quite a bit.. whats the compression on that thing?? maybe some different rods or pistons later down the road.. crank shold hold fine tho.. maybe upgraded bearings tho.. the l an napz blocks an cranks are pretty tough.. as they should be since they're made from melted down samurai swords Quote Link to comment

Its at a static compression ratio of 8.0:1. Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Brandon, do you have a ballpark estimate of how much you have in the bottom end? Quote Link to comment
Fineline Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 More than I'll ever admit to. (My wife may be watching) The block was tanked, maged, line honed, torque plate bored, decked, and o-ringed. I have about $1300 in the machine work. That includes all the work to the crank ie. maged, polished, balanced, and also the rods maged, honed, balanced, resized, and bronze bushed. The pistons were around $400 with moly rings. the head has about $500 worth into it. Pressure tested, valve job, stainless valves, springs, custom cam, timing set etc. I lucked out and my machinist showed me how to polish the head. She showed me where to polish and turned me loose. I would bring it back after a few days and seh evaluated my work. This went on for a few weeks but saved me a little money. In hindsight I probably could have build a nice ka or sr but its really cool to watch the look on somebodys face when you pop the hood on a turboed L motor. That and explain to them that with the exception of the machine work I built everything you see in my home shop!:) Quote Link to comment

Fineline Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I was following that for a while and you just fell off the face of the ratsun planet. I hear now you have a "special" motor on tap. Any hints? Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 yea i think your engine will hold a nice number .. atleast 350 if not more Quote Link to comment
