More motor update pics - with some secret info

I got the oil filter housing on - it sets the motor off perfect. Still looking for an alternator housing to coat. Might just pull mine one day after work and take it up on the weekend.

Anyway - I changed route some. I am receiving an M52 crank shaft. I am buying Eagle forged M52 connecting rods, and Wiseco forged M52 pistons. This will basically result in a 2.8L M50 Non vanos with super duper strength. The setup I have now (just the internals) will be up for sale if anyone is interested.

Nice what will the 2.8 do for you as far as HP? don't know if you got my PM

Coming together well. This would be neat as just a N/A beast.

Well it'll be a square motor where the bore and stroke are the same, commonly called a square motor - it should produce more torque and be more reliable. Additionally, I am doing 1500 hp forged rods and pistons.


NA!? Are you kidding?

76mm turbo + 30 psi + M50B28 non vanos = holy crap.

Target is big triple digits in hp

30 psi! I don't know much about turbos but that seems like a hell of a lot

i can't wait to check out my square motor, damn things all sad and lonely sitting on the stand waiting for da new e30, 30# of boost?! **** i can do that at 2600 rpm pulling a bridge in da truck, i need a hook up to a load to see what it'll really do

Yeah I am excited about this too - what should I call it, an M50B28 non vanos? M52 non vanos? Ah who cares. Yeah we'll be spooling near 30 psi on a PT76GTS which is 76mm 1150 hp turbo.
