wow I never heard of this thanks for the information and I appreciate you pushing the N55 platform.

[@Inhouseperformance]

Yeah its very popular in the Honda world and with some friends I have who have done it and say its a great alternative I figured Id give it a shot. And of course I really appreciate the positive support!

[@mikealbert728]

Cool budget setup. I wonder about cracks potentially forming at very high boost between the cylinders due to those slits.

[@Respect_N55]

Big Build Info !!!!

[@frankdromberg8297]

I was just thinking about to make a bushing for the tap for a nice alignment maybe overkill but it's a way to not make any mistakes. But you really make a perfect job on your engine. Very interesting about the close deck with epoxy feels strange but hope it will handle the high temperatures.

[@Inhouseperformance]

Yeah, do what makes you feel more confident. I think it might be overkill but worth a shot. The epoxy should do just fine I know Honda guys making over 1000whp with the epoxy close deck so should help me accomplish my goals which are way below that

Love to see this

[@Inhouseperformance]

Thanks for the awesome feedback! 🫶🏻

[@joshuaquilliam2887]

N54 owner here, just wanted to say just found your channel awesome shit bro. That epoxy trick isn't something I have ever heard of. I am familiar with filling blocks with concrete in the big power Cummins world. But epoxy is genius in a why tf didn't I think of that kinda way lmao. Curious to see how it holds up, would love to just do rods and pistons and call it a day with my car when she blows. Thanks for sharing I am now along for the ride, subscribed! BTW what kinda power you shooting for? 800 territory or beyond?

[@Inhouseperformance]

Thank you for the awesome feedback and support! And yeah Im gonna shoot for 800+whp and see what the stock crank can handle.

[@Roorooryy]

👀👀👀👀👀 need to do this on OG m2

[@villanf1039]

Amazing bro🔥🔥

[@Inhouseperformance]

Thank you!! 🤘🏻💪🏻

[@SamUnhinged]

Awesome build!! What size sway bars did you go with eibach?? Still need to make sure I get the correct bushings too 😂

[@Inhouseperformance]

@@SamUnhinged eibach only offers one size with the F10 chassis. But I think its a 30mm and a 20mm

[@itzandrew1087]

Awesome 🔥

[@Inhouseperformance]

Thank you 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@VetusGeist]

Wonderin if you have seen 4n motorsports 9k rpm n55 build, they will be selling a kit for it soon!

[@Inhouseperformance]

@@VetusGeist yes I have and Im currently talking to Mike about possibly purchasing this for my next build!

[@BurrNinja]

This will basically allow you to push the n55 further I assume? Gonna break those records for sure.

[@Inhouseperformance]

Yes thats the plan. I wanted to do a budget style build for those wanting to try and push their engines a little harder without spending a lot of money. I think this will get me where Ill finally be happy for this chassis.

[@BurrNinja]

@@Inhouseperformance Hell yeah, your doing awesome work to the n55. Can't wait to see what the finished product will get you for gains. Keep it up man.

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

Awesome work! Very interested in the closed deck.

[@brianjames9978]

Did you do the full crank hub fix on that motor?

[@Inhouseperformance]

Yes I did, you can see the install on my N55 motor build video.

[@M3RiMiEs]

Nice! What head gasket did you use?

[@Inhouseperformance]

@@M3RiMiEs factory!

[@xavinb8225]

any work on getting the S55 crank in the N55? really interested in that for the weight savings on the rotating assembly.

[@Inhouseperformance]

I actually held out cause I want to see what the limit is on the cast crank. Im taking a huge risk for the data as I have an S55 available for me to use. Hopefully if I do experience failure it wont be catastrophic and we all learn something.

[@normelioschneiderjunior3486]

How height is the epoxy deck?

[@Inhouseperformance]

@@normelioschneiderjunior3486 filled with salt to about 3/4s of an inch from the top. So about 3/4s of an inch of epoxy all the way around.

[@normelioschneiderjunior3486]

@@Inhouseperformance Nice. Thanks man!

[@BmwMe-uh9sy]

too much trouble pulling the motor over n over

[@Inhouseperformance]

Naa I can get the motor out in less then 2 hours now. I mainly pulled the motor to do the new turbo manifold design and build.
