I must admit the base of my knowledge in regards to inlines is limited and gathered mostly from what I've learned here in the past few days.
Would like to hear about your combination, what turbo are going with?

REVISED, with $$$$$$$$$$
My experience with inline engines, also, is also very limited, but when I saw how fast and quick Ryan and Tom had run with their turbos, and how cheaply they had done it, (not that it was "cheap" for sure,) I became an "instant fan."
So, I began trying to sort of, educate myself (last year) about what it took to go that fast, and quickly learned the best course of action for me and my racing partner, Freddie Nielsen, would be to build a "copy cat" motor that while not identical to Ryan's and Tom's, was pretty close to an identical engine.
Our engine differs, in detail, to both of their engines, but basically, it's pretty much a copy, of the mechanical infrastructure of both of theirs.
If it runs, well, we'll have them to thank, particularly Tom, who pretty much took us by the hand with good recommendations for the hard parts.
Ryan's car is somewhat lighter than Tom's and runs commensurately faster and quicker... 127 MPH to Tom's 122, but given the weight differential (around 600 pounds, I think) I'd bet their horepower output is very close (about 500, or a little more.)
So, we can't take credit for how this thing runs, unless it runs poorly, which would be a result of our inexperience and lack of assembly expertise.
We should find out in a couple of months.:clock:

That's all I can think of right now. About $12,000 and I am sure I forgot a LOT... plus the block, crank, turbo, wastegate, and intercooler were donated.... probably, $2200.00 worth of stuff...
Easily, a $15,000.00 car.... so far.
What we DIDN'T do, that we should have, probably, was:
1. O-ring the block; We KNOW that will come back to bite us...
2. Rock-Block (fill) the block for stiffer cylinder walls
3. Increase the pilot hole diameter for the converter's pilot shaft stub, to 1968 size in the crank hub, so a late model converter could be used instead of this "bastard" converter that has a small pilot shaft and a larger, late model (1968-up) bigger spline pump-drive to fit the later transmission.
But this is our first six... can't think of EVERYTHING... LOL!
