David P Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Im sorry I should have mentioned that my goal is 1200WHP. This is a full out drag build. I need th GTE block sir Yanks use N/A blocks for high power drag racing engines, without the squirters there's more oil pressure and they prefer it that way.

Spot on, some also say that with the oil squirters the weight of the oil on the bottom of the piston durring high load can throw it off balance slightly.

I had a thread on another forum explaining my theory about the resistance against the bottom of the piston from the oil as such as such. I here of alot of people on high hp cars running without the squirters but a few people have said its a stupid and ridiculous idea. If someone can offer me some nice clean advise on my build I would much appreciate it. If this block can be used with out over heating on highway pulls etc. I`ll get this block built with in the next few weeks. To be honest I think the longest i`ll ever be WOT is 30 seconds. Is this enough to melt pistons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im no expert, ive just read it a couple of times, how true it is i dont know, might be worth talking with Titan. 30 seconds at WOT is a long time, I did the standing mile in 27 seconds at 190 mph back when i had 700bhp 30 seconds on a 1200whp engine and you are going to be on the limiter in 6th gear id say.

Thats exactly what I thought mate, im more of a fan of acceleration than top speed. Well im ordering my new crank from titan in a coupe of weeks so i`ll speak with them then. P.S will send you the cash for those mains on saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Your be waiting for ages for a TT block on its own. There are a few NA-TT conversions for sale, buy those and sell the bits. I still think your best installing squirters into the GE block as your loose money on what you paid and still have to spend even more just to get that GTE stamp. DaveH ran a 7.77 1/4 ET with an NA block that had done over 220k miles. So it's really not an issue to start with the correct block if you know what your doing.

Well the new car im getting is a 6 speed GTE so i`ll just use that. Just would have been nice to build it first so I can drop straight in with the minimum of fuss. I`ll see what peoples opinions are on oil squirters on high HP engines... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suprasize Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 New price £50 These engines seem to be getting cheaper and cheaper, I remember back when I had my NA and was talking to dude about doing the TT conversion and trying to use my old NA engine to lower the price, didnt really work. Think these engines are worth more in parts than as a whole, and some of the parts can be used on a TT lump also (i.e. the crank pulley (£200+ new from Toyota!). Or if you have a boat you could always use it as an anchor I suppose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
