Bad Bug Two
I haven't posted on here in a long time!
For those that haven't followed my race bug elsewhere, I crossed over to the dark side of turbo a few years ago. Still using a modified wasserboxer engine that we built at Rocky Jennings' shop.
2553cc, 102.4mm Bore, 77.5mm Stroke, CP Pistons, Carrillo Rods, Engle FK-10 Cam, Pauter 1.6 Roller Rockers, Autocraft 910 Heads, 51mm Intake Valves, 44.45mm Exhaust Valves, Holset HX35/40 Turbo... just to name a few specs!
...expecting 600+ hp once I turn the boost up...
With less than 19psi boost, I've been running 9.80s and 9.90s.
Anticipating high 8s once I boost to 30psi.

Re: Bad Bug Two
Glad to see you back. Thanks for sharing the details of the build here, I've seen your videos and such elsewhere. How come you made the change from the old NOS setup?

Re: Bad Bug Two
Thanks! I have two electric fans on the engine. I am currently running on VP C-16, but will most likely be changing over to Ethanol... probably E-98.

I really liked the performance of the nitrous (I ran a best of 9.35 @ 145mph) but, it is a lot more volatile. I had a couple of issue, probably related to spark blowout, and the nitrous is less forgiving than turbo. I have been REAL happy with the change and expect that I will be able to much more easily, safely and reliably dip into the 8s once a crank it up.

Re: Bad Bug Two
A little history on the engine...
Started with a 2.1L case and did LOTS of modifications at Rocky's...
Machined off water jackets, relocated head studs .050" from center, added 4 more head studs, bored for oversized cylinders (102.4mm)...
We line bored the center main to utilize a Ford bearing (2.75" journal size)...
You can also see in this pic that the lifter bores are bushed to accept type 1 lifters...
Ford main bearing on left, stock wasser boxer bearing on right...
DPR modified a 2.1L crankshaft. 77.5mm stroke, counter weighted, five bolt, five doweled and wedge mated. Center main enlarged to Ford 2.75", gear bearing enlarged to type 4 size (Flywheel end is already type 4 size.). Rod journals ground to 2.100" Chevy...
As compared to a stock type 1 1600cc crankshaft...
10mm head studs are made from Kryptonite! (As are the thru bolts.) Carrillo rods are 5.7" long, 3/8" bolts, and custom ordered extra beefy for high powered application. Engine also has custom CP pistons with extra thick wrist pins and thick wall skirts...
Next to the oil pump cover is an adapter to accept a GM LS crank sensor, but is used as a camshaft position sensor. Oil sump is a modified Autocraft bolt on sump and oil capacity is now 8.5 quarts! On the 1-2 side of the sump is an oil heater.
Heads are earlier version Autocraft 910. 51mm Titanium intakes and 44.45mm Titanium exhaust. Rocker studs are for Pauter 1.6 rockers...
There many, many more details on this one off build! As you can see by the dates on the pictures, this engine has been together for almost 5 years now! I've only split the case one time since then (to do a cam change) and all of the bearings looked fantastic! I'll tear it completely down again sometime this year, but oil filter inspection and oil pressure does not dictate any concerns.
