Well, it is a new day and I have new infos for you.

We had not took of the head, but we looked with a speacial light into the cylinders and it looks like the sleeves has scratches. My tuner will check if it is okay with honing or if I need new sleeves to.

He told me, that I have 3 options.
1) Build it back to stock specs
2) CR to 9:0 and working on lower the intake temp
3) CR to 9:0 and turbo-boost the hell out of it.

Opinien 1 and 2 are about the same cost amount, since I defenitly need pistons and some work to the engine.

Opinion 3 is interesting now, since I must do the rebuilt to stock or to 9:0, that is about the same cost amount + the costs of a DRAGIII kit. I mean cr 9:0 JR @ 8psi-10psi or Turbo up to 14-16psi. Both is possible with the rebuilt I must do so or so.

BUT, this are just only guesses and in a few days when my engine is fully taken appart I will see what I´ll do.

 

JR at 8-10psi....or a turbo at 14-16psi. I can't believe these two options are being considered! You seem to have some money to throw around at this....my vote goes for sell the charger and get a little certain something that will put you over 300whp.

 

Nows a good time to send that bad-boy off to golden eagle for the 84.5mm Ductile Treatment...;-)
Eagle Rods and some ENDYN Pistons...you'll be ******* **** up...and if you have the cash, ship the head off to Portflow...while your at it ;-)
