I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

egvtec blew his ls turbo setup

Post by hatch-attack » December 09, 2004

For those of you that were at the Hooters meet in Altoona. The boy with the ls turbo eg hb had a piston go boom problem. We are now about 75% done with his new motor build. We should have it in and running by this weekend. All we have left to do is put the head on and put the motor back in the car.

Str block gaurd

Sounds like an awesome setup, though I cringe at the thought of using a block guard.

I agree with that. I'm making due with what I have right now, but as soon as my new motor is built this block is coming out blown or not. And since I am doing internals...it WILL be sleeved.
