About the the Stage 1 kit when i go to it, it shows me the one for the dohc. i have to pick the one with the sohc one right. Where did u see the price for pre-balance crank option, show me the web site.Gearbanger 101 said:Well, if it's a do it yourself deal, I'd go with the Stage 1 kit shown here. If your stock crank is still in good condition, it's suitable to use about 600hp+ with a 2V engine and most street level blower kits won't be pushed anywhere near that hard anyway.
Just don't forget you're going to have to have the crank balanced afterward to the rods and pistons (about $150) unless you go with the pre-balanced crank option with the kit (another $550 on top of the kit price). I made the mistake of not doing this and now I find myself tearing everything apart again after my install to have it donw.
Why do you think i'll want the 19cc pistons....what size throttle body should i go with 70 or 75mm?Gearbanger 101 said:Stage 1 kit is the very first one on the link I gave you (when you click on piston type, it has an option for both the SOHC and DOHC engine) You'll want the 19cc pistons. The new pre-balanced crank option is the 4th one down in the link.
yeah but my engine isn't blown.....Gearbanger 101 said:You'll want the 19cc slugs to keep compression ratio where you want it for a blown motor. And all blown engines will benefit from a larger throttle body, so go with the 75mm if you're indecisive between the two.
well the thing is the engine is not blown or its gonna blow soon. The motor just coming up on 100k and i've never had a problem with it. But as for power i think i might with the old sc...so those pistons won't do the work. Because n/a i'll never get the same power, unless i go with nitrous. And for the money i rather go with the sc.Gearbanger 101 said:Well, you stated in post #5 that you might be getting blown in the future. The 19cc slugs will work well with N/A and power adders. If you know for sure you're going to stay N/A or run nitrous as a power adder, then by all means go with the higher compression for maximum effect, but if not, high compression pistons won't allow you to run much boost or timing with a forced induction application.
