it would help to know your budget and whether you're building for boost or all motor

aaron_morris

i am defenitly building to boost, and i want to get the best out of the motor that i got. and my budget is around a thousand for what i would pay for pistons and all the works. i just dont want to make a mistake on the internals that i put in my motor.

wiseco 9:1 comp pistons with eagle rods good for 15 lbs of boost daily

It has less than nothing to do with the amount of boost you run.

You can make all the power stock sleeves will handle and then some with a Wiseco/Eagle combo.

And that is a good combo as well.

good **** guys, thanks a lot. any body have any ideas where i could get some killer deals on the setup?

dont worry about the brand piston. JE, Wiseco, and CP will all do the job. Worry about prepping the motor properly, balance, hone, plasticgage, check all your clearances etc...

aaron_morris

when you say prep the motor, what do you exactly mean. i know that i am goin to have to tear it down completely, do i take it in to get cleaned? like what else is there that i need to do?

make sure all your bearing, ring, and piston to wall clearances are right. if you dont know how to do this let an engine builder handle it.

92redhatch

balance, hone, plasticgage, check all your clearances etc... If youu just throw it all together its nots going to be a healthy motor.

aaron_morris

good **** man thanks, i am already going around to machine shops to figure where the best place to get it all done at, and then iam be putting in the official wrench time myself.

92redhatch

just make sure that your piston to wall clearance is within 4 thousands of an inch.( around that range) . to me thats the most important thing you have to make sure. And if i were you i would let the machine shop check that out for you.
