Sleeving the engine block

[moonrunner]

With all the time issues with the 4.0 motors . I am thinking a 5.7 I-Force XSP motor swap is the better way to go for me.

If you are going to do a swap, you need to do the 4.6 or 4.7 V8. It has an iron block and is closed deck motor. Very strong. The pistons are also the same size as the 1GR. Not sure if the rods are the same or not, and haven't looked to verify. Strong motor than the 5.7. It is open deck. It has weaker rods comparatively to the 1GR when it comes to power increase. Unless of course you throw some forged rods in it as well.

Besides, there aren't really that many issues with the 1GR motor. 5.7 has had its fair share as well though. It is al about pushing the motor past its designed limits. It can only take so much before you need to reinforce it. Internals. Higher the psi, the more reinforcing is necessary. Thus the sleeving.

Very common for other types of vehicles as welcome.

Basically the only way around it is to get an closed deck iron block motor. The cylinders won't wobble, and those motors don't come in xrunners. Lol. 2rz,3rz,2jz,3uz, and I think 5vz.

You forgot the 2uz....that's the old 4.7 tundra motor.

The 1uz is also good for insane numbers, even though it is aluminum block. 6bolt mains, forged crank and rods...its an f1 motor, with street heads. Similar to vh45 Nissan motor...

Lets just put a jet motor into our truck!

[Eraser]

No torque... gear reduction yo. That makes torque.

Gah - this thread started over a year ago and still no final product !

FAIL on the suppliers - if I was URD I'd be pissed

 

[Gadget]

All the parts have been at APR for a very long time now. Just waiting and waiting and waiting....

[darthyota]

poke them with the preverbal stick?

 

[hiflyer]

or beat them with a rod ?

Pauter rod that is

 

[Torspd]

Gagdet needs to make a house call and give them a swift kick :nutkick: to get things moving..

I still haven't yet shipped my block out to Darton yet, and I bet I will still have it running first. Lol

:aetsch:

G im sorry to hear that man...i cant believe that....why cant we just get the work down and put aside the broadway act...I hope you can resolve it cuz we all know that u as a pioneer in this field have some hidden tricks up your sleeve for this block and making crazy numbers..We all know the URD kits are capable of doing it now its just seeing it. Hang in there man

 

[1GRracer]

I know I would be bouncing off the walls at this point, I can only imagine how your holding up.

 

[widdoz runner]

wow if i was G id proably would of forgotten what it felt like to drive my x by now..... your more patient than me... unless i was deployed and not around to drive it anyways lol

 

[darthyota]

G's x isn't down this motor is going to go into his x when ever it gets finished

 

[Blasphemous]

Now that I have read every single post here... any updates?...

I checked with APR and got the two weeks thing again.

I think it is time to pull the project from him.

[Blasphemous]

Wow. That's incredible.

You sir have amazing patience. I would have blown a head gasket months ago.
