hey there guy i have strightin out the striped head bolt problem thanks for all your help

This i the setup i have

Stock 1ST gen B16 head
Stock B18B bottom end with GSR oil pump, P30 pistions and ITR rings the motor has about 50000 miles on it. i will be putting ARP head studs in and also ARP connecting rod bolts. it should have about a 12to1 compression
my question is can i run a 65 shot of ZEX on the motor or will i spit a rod out the side of the motor any input would be great or any other sugestions would be help please rember im on a tight budget thanks again for all your help

 

you won't have problems of breaking any parts
but u might run into a problem with detonation.

hi compression doesn't leave to much room to tune with any
type of FI.

but with the ZEX kit, the simplified newbie kit. it'll handle it just fine.
if you wanna hit 12's get a direct port setup and run a 75 shot.

 

Well, first off, you won't be running 12:1 compression, but its pretty close.

Just make sure you tune the thing really well and get some larger injectors.

 

it is around 12 to 1 the head has been shaved 20th sorry i forgot to say that but i wont have any problems with that setup

 

yep, just make sure you get the fuel taken care of. detonation is bad, i just learned that

 

also will i need the bigger injectors with the setup if i have a holley race fuel pump and a MSD digtal6 ignition if i remove 3*-4.5* or timing that should take care of detiontion ? also will i have problems with valve to pistion clearence with a ITR cam ? thanks again waffles

 

your clearance should be fine. I would say something like a 330cc injector

 

id be careful w/ those pistons and spray. get the nx kit...single fogger, perfect atomistion. any dry kit wll kill ya like zex or nos 5122 . when its apart, balance it, coat the pistons, shoot the rods. get stainless exhaust valves. this stuff is to prevent it as best as possible from blowin early...the timing retard is good idea if its moderate as too much will heat her up. bkpr-7e11 plugs,walbro fuel pump, msd 6al, and a msd retard box when on spray should do you fine

ok so if i retrad the timing to much it will heat up and with out all thosr parts (balance it, coat the pistons, shoot the rods. get stainless exhaust valves) with i still be ablw to spary the motor

 

yeah....is just that these parts really are good safeguards against destruction. you could jut put it together the wayu originally sed and add the zex kit an run it, but it fer shurr wont last.

yeah, nitrous tends to change up the buildup of a motor. shotpeening the rods is a good idea as well as coating the pistons. if your going to get new valves you might as well get intake and exhaust valves and get some new springs and retainers while your in the head.

 

Waffle what kind of coating do i have put on the pistions and is this really needed i dont have a ton of $$$$ and only use NOS when needed
