Currently my car is bore to 86mm 12.5:1 compression. I wanted to hear your thougths and sugguestion regarding me going to turbo.

My question is, can I go turbo with the current bore (86mm) with new low compression pistion? Well it be safe on the engine with this setup? Or should I resleeve the entire short block to a smaller bore (like 84mm 9-9.5:1 c/r)?

Thanks in Advance,

Steve

 

GIT-R-DONE!!! Dude, boosted is the only way to go. I thought about allmotor and had about $7k invested before i was smart enought to realize that why the hell should i spend that kind of money when i could have spent it on a nice turbo set up and had twice the power of the alll motor car. know what im sayin? Plus the turbo will be a **** load more reliable than a high *** compression allmotor set up and it'll last longer.

agreed 86mm is big i would go back down to 82 or 83 just incase u blow it up u have room to bore out.

86mm is ok as long as there not stock sleeves. if they are theyre going to break. go with 81.5mm 84mm max.

 

headgaskets will blow at 86mm resleeve block to 84 mm

 

exactly what i was going to say .- headgasket issue.

 

So you think 84mm is about the biggest you wanna go with FI?

 

laragest i'd do is 84.5
