Yeah, dished piston's are a must. Or huge combustion chambers. Make sure to paint that thing orange. I went on 3 test drives, and once to get gas in the thing. Everybody and there mother stared at it. I felt like "the man" for a few minutes there. But it sucks to hear "nice car" and have to say it ain't mine.

Looks great Mario! I'm glad you've got it back and are happy.

So what's the plan? Stick to the meth kit for now until you can save the funds to pull the motor apart and swap the pistons?

Kinda sucks to get everything together only to not be able to use it to it's full potential.

Well, the plan is to pull the engine Sunday.I dont think a meth kit would help at this point.There was absolutly no detonation, and i was giving my dad a ride, both head gaskets let go.My guess is the 10.4:1 was just way too high for any small amount of cylinder pressure.So the guy that built it is gonna basically disassemble the engine,go through it,replace the pistons with a 16cc dish that I PAID for and should've been in there from day one, check the deck for straightness etc.,all at no charge.

but let me say the blower NEVER pulled like this did. Should'nt be down more then a couple of weeks

What cr will 16cc dishes get you? If you are going to open it up, you might as well get it to 9:1 or lower.

With 60cc heads (Edelbrocks) and .005" piston-to-deck, a 16cc dish should bring it down to about 9.3:1, by my calculation. He'd have to open up the combustion chambers to get it lower - and it ain't a bad idea to lay back the chamber walls a bit to unshroud the valves ... but then that's NA thinking. Who cares when your pushing the air in?

10secgoal- if you guys don't make it, there is something wrong with people, that's the best work I have seen yet. granted I am only 21, I have seen a lot of turbo set ups and non of them looked that clean, there's a guy here in Modesto CA who does turbo's and his work doesn't even come close to what your doing.


iskwezm- Looking forward to seeing some vids once you get everything dialed in.

Originally it was supposed to be a 8.9 or 9.0:1 compression ratio.

Other option or remedy they offered was to CNC port the heads and opent the chamber to about 68 or 70 cc's.Still no charge for labor and disassembly.

Had a friend run an open turbo like that on the road just for fun. Lasted a month. It sucked up so much crap it fried the turbo.
