Sounds like you are going for big power. You should change that to a stage5 clutch so you won't have change it out later.

coryjames

you think???? stage 5 spung??

^^ dont get non sprung, its bad for daily driving and doesnt last that long.. stay with 6 puck if possible or does stage 5 have a 6 puck? but i believe stage 4 can hold around 400

rhythmnsmoke

Hell why not just get a Twin disc

^^ that would be the best setup if you have extra money for it but im not sure if there is one already for the XB2 or do they have same tranny as tCs?

rhythmnsmoke

Oh, yeah, forgot it was the xB2. Hmm..good question on the tranny. Not sure if they are exactly identical, including gearing.

One thing I have noticed on engine builds (any engine not just ours) some people put too much silicon on the oil pan (like Ptuning stated) and once the pan is tighten the excess sometimes goes in the oil and it can and has gotten in the oil strainer causing it to block the passage starving the engine from oil causing major damage.


PS
Todd version of 6 weeks = 4+ months and you may have pieces missing so in reality 8+ months.

WOW! WTF, sounds like the way zpi was. Doesn't he do this on the side or something, like only a few days a week plus another job and school? He's getting too big too fast, I hope he cools it down. I'd hate to see him go under.

toyota_scion_tc

Yes its a side job, but when I ask him he still said 4-6 weeks. He just needs to slow down on taking orders until he get caught up. From what I was told he has stopped for now (taking orders that is until he is caught up).

coryjames

where can i find the strainer i kinda used alot of silicon it got in my pan i used some other stuff the last time and the tc clutch and xb clutch are the same

toyota_scion_tc

You can get it at the dealership. When you remove your oil pan, you should be able to clean the strainer. Most strainers I have seen have been a metal screen. I am not sure what our cars have but just use good judgment when it comes to this. If it looks like you won't be able to clean the strainer and the tube then replace it.

coryjames

i was able to clean it i have spun bearing i am sad

so what exactly would i need to run 14 psi DD SAFELY? i know pistons, rods etc but i need like specific details about them. Bore for pistons and stuff like that. what is everything i would need?

etsnet

For just 14psi you could get away with stock but the rods might go eventually. I would say if you don't want more then 14psi just get some K1 rods (no notching) and you should be good but make sure you got a good tune. If I remembered correctly you are an auto so you may want a tranny cooler and whatever other upgrades are out for the auto.

K1 one rods can be purchased at www.dezod.com Nothing wrong with a little plug for the great guys over at Dezod.

ya im just waiting for levelten to send back my built tranny

ok well lets say i wanted 16 psi (im just trying to come up with a nice list of block mods like pricisely what mods) im looking just to push about 350-400 with the auto daily for now but i dont want anything going wrong. i know im gonna have to boost higher to get that number than manuals.

K1 rods
pistons? what bore and ratio?
studs?
etc....
