B18A limitations
I searched and found nothing so here goes:
I have a B18A i am rebuilding one of my pistons has a skirt to cylinder clearence out of spec. My re-ring kit is $200, a kit with pistons is $400. if i'm doing pistons i figured i might as well get forged instead, but i am in Denver and at this altitude 9.0 runs at between 8.3-8.4 so i don't want to lower the comp. Would it be worth it for stroger pistons? What would the limit of new stock pistons be? I plan on running about 1 bar for a fast, streetable but not extream setup. I was planning on going with a t3/t4 setup, 50 trim from http://www.turbocalculator.com. For this setup would factory pistons be in dager?
Any advice would be great.
Thanx - Sn34k

, but even 300 is doubling your stock motor output.
