3.1 Rebuild

Post by Powertruck95 »

Hey guys been ages since I have been on here have had so many problems trying to log in on my old username Powertruck31T so i have now made a new account.
I've still got my 3.1 Mu which I'm selling now. I've now got a 3.1 swb Bighorn which I've just built a new motor for. I'll be putting all my turbo setup and W2A intercooler into the Bighorn. The new motor is a 97 4JG2 which I've rebuilt from scratch, has new genuine liners and pistons, all new bearings. It has the later model head which has the 42mm valves. I've also done some minor work to the cam which has given me an extra 40 thou lift on the exhaust which should help increase bottom end torque even more. I dynoed my Mu just before i started the rebuild so i have a baseline figure of what it was doing so when the new motor is done and run in I'll re-dyno it again.
Just trying to figure out how to down size the files so i can attach them can anyone help?

Ive just sent a reactivation for 31t Hopefully you are still a snail at extra. There are 5 other powertrucks as well. Do you want me to reactivate all of them?
Best tool Ive used for shrinking pictures is Irfanview. Its free easy to use and google will take you straight to it

Hi Geeves thanks for that I've had so many problems logging in on the old account I decided to start another one. Don't worry about activating the other ones. Will try and downsize these photos so I can load them up.

The build has taken me around 12 months ive just slowly been gathering the parts have been in no big hurry. Cost wise i would say around $3500-4k that's using mostly genuine parts. Its all the small things that seem to add up injectors pump etc

Very nice indeed have you installed the injector pump and injectors on it as well or still need doing.

Pump is installed and timed just waiting on injectors should be here end of the week. Hoping to have the new motor back in early next week. Can't wait to get it going with the new cam and turbo will be interesting to see how it goes. Can only go forward I hope lol.

New turbo setup with the upgraded billet compressor wheel. Its basically the same turbo on my old setup just with a more efficient compressor wheel
