Thanks for the comment, took a little longer than I thought to get it released. Now I have to get it in the car and fired up. We are going to run it on Oct. 15th so we will see how good it is!
They make extremely good turbo street engines. For anything under 750 hp you can use a stock engine and just add the turbo. After that some things should be checked like ring gap, re ground camshafts and associated valve train parts. Thanks for watching and the comment.
@@AnthonyRouillard-q9j thanks for the comment! The internal engine components you use, will be dependant on how much power you are targeting. Now, you can always over build your engine with parts like forged pistons billet connecting rods, stainless or inconel valves, etc. but it is not needed for 90% of engine builds. @nivlac57 has b made 850 rwhp on a 4200 engine with no engine mods, except for regrind camshafts, better valve springs, retainers, and shims. So again, it all depends what target horsepower you are shooting for. As far as Leo's engine I built, it was originally built by a race engine shop, with no budget, with the goal of competing in the 2005 Hot Rod Drag Week event, where you race at 5 different race tracks and most drive to each track unassisted, usually driving around 2000 miles by the end of the week. Which this engine did complete.Thanks again for the question, hope you enjoy the channel.
Right now, your local wrecking yard is your outlet for blocks, heads, crankshaft. There are a couple piston manufactures making them, I am using JE. Molnar makes the rods, Schneider and Comp Cams can make regrinds. Valvetrain parts are shared between the Atlas family of 4, 5 and 6 cylinder engines.
@@LANDISPERFORMANCE factory stuff is decent, but supplies are getting thin and the platform could use some support, be a easier sell if they had Chevy v8 bell housing
The valvetrain is the hard part. Custom tappets, reground cams, valve springs, and rockers… all that stuff is $$$ and not easy to one off for companies compared to rods or pistons. You can custom order rods and pistons all day especially if you go alu rods.
The valvetrain is always the expensive part of any high performance engine. Thankfully a lot of the GM Ecotec parts will work, the rockers, tappets are jesel from the Ecotec so they are shelf parts, valve springs, retainers, and keepers are off the shelf, my cylinder head guy, says it is all Pro Stock motorcycle parts, and re ground stock camshafts. However, the cam gears are one off.@@th600mike3
The next video will show the intake and exhaust turbo header, along with the engine installed, and a couple other things. Thanks for watching and the comments.
That may have been one of the reasons, also I was looking at the rods rotating past the block girdle they built, and maybe rod to girdle clearance may have been another reason.
Nice work, Mr Landis

I am extremely interested in a street turbo 4200 build.

Do u need a bullet block or just "bullet grade internal?

Love the video!
Thanks Andrew!
Just another killer video by someone who knows what they are doing !
Nice job George !
Thanks Daniel, I really appreciate everyone's comments, and I will keep trying to make better content for everyone!
what's truly needed, are block and head castings, along with a full suite of hard parts.

There is a ton of great info packed in this video. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully we will make our goal. Thanks for the comment.
Thank You, What a great addition to Inliners👍😎
Thank you for the comment! Can't wait to get this hot rod down the drag strip!
Great video !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excited for this! Awesome video! Can you get a good video of the turbo manifold?
The next video will show the intake and exhaust turbo header, along with the engine installed, and a couple other things. Thanks for watching and the comments.
Keep it up! @@LANDISPERFORMANCE
Thanks!
Love it!!!
Thanks Andrew! Glad you are on the mend from your violent crash!!
Very cool! Good work. Did they offset grind the crank when they went to small block Chevy journal or is it stick stroke?
Stock stroke, just made the rod journal smaller. I don't know the exact reason they did that, I have some ideas, but really don't know.
@@LANDISPERFORMANCE ya, guys around here used to do that also for better rods and bearing choices 20 years ago before the Honda rod size got popular
That may have been one of the reasons, also I was looking at the rods rotating past the block girdle they built, and maybe rod to girdle clearance may have been another reason.

Yes, Nivlac57 starter block, and coil mount pattern. Thanks for the comment.
