Re: oly/lacey/tum area
I have heard a lot of good things about speedfactory... Who is the person to see there? And is it true they specialize in tuning single turbos?

Re: oly/lacey/tum area
haha hey man, not everyone starts there boost projects making 600+ like some of the guys you see on ht. We all gotta start some where. And some of us (like me haha) blow many many motors learning rights n wrongs. And unfortunately 7 years ago, there wasn't this kind of info n knowledge out there like we have now, or the ease of tuning.

Although speedfactory charges outrageous prices for some things they are ridiculously knowledgeable guys.
Whens the next meet? I haven't been on H-T in awhile..

I (personally) wouldn't go much above 11.5:1, and I would top at 12:1. Just personal, but I'm sure someone who builds for a living will chime in.

Yeah, you can tune for E85, or if you've got a little deeper pockets, tune for AVGas. E85 can be had at the Shell station on Pacific, next to Taco Time and Izzy's Piza. AVGas can be had at Glacier Aviation, which is at the Olympia Airport on Old HWY 99.

Re: oly/lacey/tum area
you can buy the type r knock offs all over ebay for cheap,they are decent in quality and work well for na applications...id go 81.5 if i was you,just to leave room to rebore if you have any issues...or if you prefer,you can get oem pistons up to 81.25mm...

Re: oly/lacey/tum area
Would I be able to use the crower itr pistons with stock itr rods? thats my main concern, because a piston rod combo will be like 750 shipped (wiseco, eagle) and i'm not sure how much machine work is going to run me because i'll want to hone, portmatch, and hot tank the block and head. i have about $2800 to spend plus i wanted to get new mounts, master gasket set, injectors, bearings, pistons, rods, fuel pump, water pump, and a bigger throttle body.
