OK, maybe I should explain the whole swap first off...
So I have a red 1991 alltrac that Ive had for about 4 years now. Ive broken two motors, mostly due to lack of experience, and patience. After spinning a bunch of bearings, lots of reading, and learning how to properly build and engine. I have decided to properly build a motor without cutting any corners. Which as most of you know means $$$
My initial setup will start with the gen IV bottom end. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the 4th gen block, It has a reinforced water pump area, and a better alloy composition. The general consensus with the 3sgte community is that the gen 2 block is good to about 800whp. After that its a huge gamble on whether it cracks at the waterpump or between the no.2 and no.3 cylinder. Im hoping in the future that I can break this barrier, but that is several years off...
Phase one is to essentially get it running. However, Precautions are being taken so that the motor can handle future upgrades. First is a set of 86.5mm wiseco pistons from ATS racing. They have ceramic coated domes, and an anti friction coating on the skirts. Secondly is a set of Billet Crower Rods. Unless I can sell my RC/CS turbo, For now I will be using that. Eventually I will buying a twin scroll Borg Warner EFR 8374 with a custom manifold made by Marc at EMS powered. But thats about a year off... Anyways, on to the stuff I currently have. 1600cc injectors, AEM UEGO wideband, ARP 2000 head studs from KO racing, All new hoses, seals, and bearings straight from japan/toyota. After I pay for school, im going to buy an aem EMS 4 as my standalone. I used to run an AEM PNP, but I sold it since they have classically had issues.
My first goal after getting it running, is to see what the power capabilities are of the RC/CS turbo (unless someone buys it). It has a larger compressor wheel than the standard ct26, but isnt quite the same size as the 20b. The good thing is that it has the inconel turbine, which means its rebuildable
Ive never really seen a full build on the RC/CS turbo, so right now its pretty much an academic exercise.
