Hey Travis thanks for the kind works buddy! Unfortunately there's no more progress on the twins setup as I have been stuck with the car's bodywork for almost 2 years now. I've got everything sorted from a mechanical point of view (I hope), it's just that if I'm not finished with the bodywork I...
I'm really confused now. If the oversized 040 pistons will be 8.68:1 then what does this mean:
How come this was not mentioned in the thread?
Tobycat it is the fact that these will be so closely spec'ed to the stock pistons that made it so intriguing to me as well as that it was mentioned...
???? Where exactly is that poll ??? I have been following this thread since day one and I have read/checked it 2-3 times now and there's no poll whatsoever. I know it was mentioned that a poll should take place for final decision on compression but that was as far as it went.
Doward it was...
Doward does that mean that you approve the 8:7 - 8:8 suggestion? ;)
I think it was mentioned that the 040 set will be 8:68 after all, right? So that's not too far.
^^^^^^^^ and of course that kind of compression will liven things up a bit in preboost too, less lag. This is right in the middle of the pistons offered in the market so it would certainly cover that gap. And 8.7 - 8.8 is not insanely high and will still be realtively safe on 14-20 psi. If...
If I was positive on my block's bore I'd get that in a heartbeat. I'm sticking with that one set of the gb at the moment. Even if I won't use it in my motor it's money worth spending for future investment!
Would it be possible to have the compression as a variable factor, i.e.: either two or three preset values (8.4 - 8.7 - 8.9 for example) or even just two, being just another "to order" feature for the perfect custom 7m pistons?
Or even if such thing would make things complicated for the GB...
WOW MassSupra89 that's a damn good idea. I'd actually consider getting both a 020 and a 040 set. My only concern is compression...Are we completely and definately firm on the 8.4 value there Doward? Any small, tiny chance we could deviate on that? Say...8.7 - 8.8...??? That would be the forged...
Only problem is that the .40 equals to the very last bore I'd be able take my block to...There's just no easy answer on this with just guessing. The only way to find out for sure is to open the motor up...Oh well I will have to take a decision soon as there's no way I'm passing this. Doward put...
1.5k tops. No other data on the block itself though as I bought it separately from a rebuilt/reconditioning shop in u.k. and it came already prepared. There was something I didn't like on the cylinder walls though so I'm not sure if and what it'll take to resurface them properly. If we're...
