can't go wrong with Argo Rods and Ross Pistons, we haven't had an issue.

sounds like u got it all sorted. will be a good stout build.

yeah, for sure, it gets scary now. we are going with a 88.25mm piston so as to save as much meat as possible on the sleeves. i know some guys have went 88.5mm but anything 20-thou over bore i believe for a combo like this might be a little too much, will see what happens. i don't think we will...

what fuel will u be running? how much boost? what will it be used for?

i don't believe it's needed, i know with the modulars oil squirters are blocked. if temps are getting that bad then i would look at the tune or water/meth injection. water does a good job of cooling down in there.

you can still see the hone marks on the bores, the rings have barely worn hard to believe piston pins this thin could withstand 1200hp and years of punishment still only using 10mm head studs. 100's of passes @ 30psi and they have done a fantastic job. the torque was checked a...

thanks, organising some CP's thru XAT, very well priced.

thanks mate, sent them an email.

thanks 4U2QUIK, just sent him a message.

am looking for a Ross or CP Pistons dealer if anyone knows any. we are looking to get a custom set of pistons made by either one of these 2, thinking a dealer would have a little more pull on a better price and getting them done faster?

the new head studs compared to the old. way way way overkill!

it could definitely be made alot more efficient, Kyle had a little look at the exhaust manifolds a lil while back, he said it works, so that's the main thing :) no real thought went into them, they were just knocked up quick so the car could be engineered, then a new set would be made. these...

1.5'' will more than likely be used on the new engine. 1.5'' should be more than enough for 1500-1600hp. funnily, we were discussing turbo manifolds on Thursday night with the fabricator. everyone has ther own theories and what should be done and what will work the best. the current headers are...

thanks. they have a .065'' wall so if my maths is correct 1.37''

it will be a new converter, it will be Neal Chance 100% instead of a Neal Chance/TCE hybrid, we think that is letting us down a little bit now. yeah, n Vince is a whiz with the 8860, there is noone better with it then him, so hopefully it's all win win.

a bit more throttle response is what we are looking for, it's good now the car get's up on boost super quick, but, with a little more comp it should get up even quicker. 30-35psi, E85, 10:1 CR won't be an issue. yeah still a stock oil pump.

not much difference, more comp 10:1+, new Precision 64mm turbo's, 1mm OS valves (with 1mm OS over 330cfm has been achieved numerous times by our porter and engine builder, 330cfm is around where we want to be, it's 40cfm more than we have now), slightly bigger cams and new custom intake manifold...

hey John, thanks mate, that's what it's about, sharing useful info that can help someone in the future and maybe save them a few bucks. they are a great engine and stuff all needs to be done to them for the motor's to survive. we aren't millionaires so you have to make the little budget work...

looks great Craig, very well made piece of kit so far. ash, the whole block is being checked as we speak, the main tunnel wasn't too bad, 1 of the mains and 1 one of the big ends looked a bit worse than the others, but after 380 passes one would expect something, it was a planned freshen up...

thanks, not much bigger than factory, that's all i can say :D few more pics, everything is pretty much out. CC was done, the comp was actually 8:1 and not 8.5:1 as previously thought. that is very impressive 8:1 comp and the car is showing around 1200hp@30psi, baby cams, mild port job...
