Bare in mind this is a race car, its setup for around 700+ whp and the real turbo is a gt45r not that small one on there.
Subtract the turbo and thats what it would look like on a 2.3 n/a which i want to do to see how much hp gains are acheviable. even though id like the turbo on my truck haha
The Pictures Are Dark But Ill Add Lighted Ones, You Can See How Its Setup Though.
Ill be adding lots more to this collection, so check back for new angles and whatnot for all that are interested how this setup looks im uploading about 15 pics at the moment.
daytime shots will easily show the modification you need to weld on the back of the block in order to make the head drain oil.

is this the XR4TI i saw on utube smoking the tires on the rollers of a chassis dyno?! :icon_thumby:
 
no ive seen that one on youtube before, when this one is done it should be able to do that though :icon_pepsi:
its the 2.3 stroked to the 2.5 full balanced and blueprinted motor, heads been on a flowbench and had a headjob to the extreme with the volvo head brian crower head parts, some aem turning stand alone computer gt45r turbo, injectors the size of god and an intake plenum that would swallow a stock 2.3s :)

i know theres more to it but i havent looked or asked lol,
ima go back by my brother in laws shop to snap some more pics in the daylight time one of these days because the dark ones cant show it much.
 
injectors the size of god

:icon_rofl: that made me LOL

so its a DOHC head that everyones been talking about. ive been wondering what was so special about this volvo head i kept hearing about. what would compression end up being if you plopped a stock head on a stock 2.3?
