How long do you exspect the engine to last with the partial?

I might have to go bridge...
I have been driving mine on a daily basis for about 2 months. Basically the port as 87GTR. That was the first one BDC did like that. I drove the car 520 miles to dallas put 45 dyno runs on it and drove it home while getting 22mpg. oh the car also more 447 rwhp@14 psi on a t-66

Full engine rebuilds? Absolutely. That's what I've been doing for a long time.

We tuned the car a bit more yesterday and today. Looks like I had the base timing off a tooth on the CAS. The smoke is beginning to subside and the engine is starting to seat a bit. 48 miles on it tonight total so far. We'll get more video and pictures soon.

Looking good BDC
Nice to see that some of my own personal experience/info has also helped and worked for you.

Half-bridge motors will last as long as any other motor as long as the coolant seal groove is untouched from the bridge-port.
I personally ran a half-bridge TurboII 3-4 years ago as daily driver for a year running a 11.2 @ 122mph on stock ECU w/ HKS F-Con on Drag radials.....and no engine problems.

Brian is very **** of his porting...it has to be exact and perfect.....he builds customers engines as if it was his own.......obviously he loves griding and polishing away

Keep up the good work....
A+....<<<Ito will agree w/ me, pretty sure.

I had not planned on posting these ports to the public but, he put a lot of hard work into them and they turned out OUTSTANDING. that I had to let some people see them

Car is running great now have just over 80 miles on it. The smoke has cleared up and the seal and stuff are starting seat. have a hard time keeping it out of boost... it wants to take off.

Damn Tony, neither you or Brian told me about those last dyno numbers Those are impressive as hell.
After riding in Hassan's car when he was up here I could not believe he gets 22mpg with that.
Brian has made the perfect truly streetable racecars IMHO. Building these back to back with the same results establishes that this is not some sort of fluke that you just got lucky on. Congrats Boys
