| Immortal D Part 2 - D series Engine Build Last month we started the D-series engine build to end all D-series builds. To recap, we're building a 400 wheel hp D-series motor to show one of our fellow editors at another magazine that: (a) we can, and (b) that we can school his sorry-ass Subaru when we're done.
Porting the head seemed like the most natural way to kick off the project, but it was also necessary. This motor is completely custom, and we needed to have the combustion chambers finished before the pistons could be made, the pistons before the sleeves, and so on.
In this month's installment, we return to Industrial Performance to have Ricky Ortiz finish the head by installing our Skunk2 top end package.
The Skunk parts include a cam, .5mm oversized standard compression valves, valve springs, titanium retainers and a Pro Series intake manifold. With a port job as beautiful as this one and a top end parts package to match, we're well on our way to our 400 wheel hp goal. And by pulling out a few other stops, we may even end up going bigger than that.
