I built a few solid lifter ea81 turbo engines still have 3 long blocks kicken all rod knocking but no cracked heads. Also noticed that your heads have had the spark plugs rethreaded with inserts make shure there is no leakage around the inserts

went over the buggy with a fine tooth comb couldent find any damge or problems from weekends race just the two broken rear axles and one torn cv boot on the front. The rest held up very well and the engine runs better now than when we started

well lets just say those boys were not to happy about geting beat last year ! they may have upgraded a bitt. Buggy was fast pulled 4 good times ran flawlesly we kept slowly turning up the nos by end of weekend we were running a 0.32 nos and 0.18 feul jets. The problem was feul preshure is fixed now and are math is lining up. Engine ran very strong and no broken axles during the race did break two on a lanch into the deep hole contest so i backed out and whent thru in reverse 2wd was a wild ride but whent thru. We have some vidio of it. Anyway the fastest time was a 5.17 with Matt driving in the mecanics pass. fastest time in the class is around 4.50 - 4.00 so we are still a wase off came in 4rth outa 4 but 6 passes and 2 deep hole passes and no broken pistons ! i'm shure we have pics but will take us abitt to get them on here you may find some on the NWMRA site

I use the felpro headgaskets with avinoic formagasket coating have done 30 this year and five in last two weeks have never had one come back in ten years for second time head faliure. I plane every head have my own planer and i get mirior finish makes hudge diference. Have never treid a turbo gasket I like the felpro becuse is just slighty thicker than stock gasket this compensates for head planeing no pistons touching heads

New kill switch and alt the 02 outback alt had the abillty to self energise with no wires hooked up so kill switch whould not work so downgrade to 96 outback alt and two pole master switch and fixed whent from charging at 15.5 to 14.20 and way less load on engine thiss should help out my electronics. Also changes the nos extra feul pump from 9 psi pump to a 40 psi pump the 9psi pump was geting overwhelmed by boost preshure and was not giving enuff feul. Now 0.28 jet feul 0.22 jet nos is small but safe zone
