ok look guys...i know that there have already been postings on this, but noone has answered how big of a shot you can put on say an 8.5:1 wiseco pistons, eagle rods in a b20b with a b16 head. i had a turbo but sold it...my motor is fresh and i dont have the money to rebuild it right now...when i do get around to rebuilding it, i will probably be somewhere close to 12:1 cr and spray on that...right now i have my timing advanced all the way at the distributor and im shooting a 100hp wet shot...it just feels weak, had the same shot on my buddys car and it is pretty nasty...i know this is because of the compression ratio, so my question is, how big of a shot can i run on that built setup???

 

Bring your timing back to neutral and increase the shot to 125. If you don't hear any pinging go up to 150. I don't see a problem with 175 if you have a fully built motor and 8.5:1 compression.

What kind of hardware did you use? Are the rods, wrist pins, head studs, etc all new?

 

With the right gas and tune. The sky is the limit.. There is a whole big Nawz thread. not to many people Get into it though.

Good luck Add more. Stock sleeves? 400hp? With sleeves? 600hp

ok guys...thanks for the info...i have stock sleeves, but everything else is upgraded...arp rod, main, and head studs, acl race bearings...i was puttin down over 400whp on the turbo setup...so i will up the shot and see what happens...thanks guys

 

also...can i leave the timing advanced if there is no detonation??? the car is slow as dick without it advanced
