Fuel's Winter Project: Build It Before It Blows

[JeremyH]

You probably had some pretty good pre turbine pressure at that level on that setup then with the 65mm turbine. The larger turbine will help drop pre turbine pressure.

Josh u buy me some and ilk buy u some lol

All ready to go...





I am 99% sure that I am going to go with an 11cc dish piston too. I believe that should put me right about 10.5:1 and I know a company that has them on the shelf for the 3v with a 3.800 stroke and big bore. **EDIT** They also offer them in a 6cc dish. Someone that know how to figure it wanna post what that compression ratio would be?


I also found a NOS Saleen ebay seller that has new Mcleod Aluminum 8 bolts flywheels for $200 shipped so I will be picking up one of those. If I could only find someone that would trade my old hotside for a C&L or FRPP intake.

From my figures

Flattop=12.7:1
6cc Dish=11.6:1
11cc Dish=10.5:1

I think I will stick with the 11cc pistons if these figures are correct.

Mine are 14cc and 9.5:1, stroker, stock heads .020 over.

I think 10.5 is good

How many people have upgraded the wrist pins on their pistons. I was pretty set on the Manleys, but these Wiseco pistons look stronger, also have skirt coating, and with rings are cheaper.

I upgraded mine but i knew i was building it for big power.

 

[one eyed willy]

I upgraded mine. I'm using manleys, they came with coated skirts, and I bought Modmax SS rings for them.

 

[JoshK]

So upgrade wrist pins over going to a billet I beam rod?

 

[Bobby]

I prefer cp or diamond. I did custom cp and stainless rings as well.

Matters on hp goals. I did both. I built my motor for 1500 hp and my goal started out at 800s but when i hit that easily it went to 1000+ amazing how that happens. Build it for at least that and you will be good for what ever you throw at it. Even if it takes longer to save and do it you want regret it in the end.

 

[one eyed willy]

^Josh what Bobby said, depends on your goals. My goals have never been more than 700, I'm there and I'm done. I know what I'm using will hold up but if i were to go for 1000 i would have changed out a few things like rods, I used a upgraded wrist pin but i didn't go with the biggest because I didn't want to add any more weight than I really had too....if i was going for more power I would have added even bigger wrist pins. I probably would have done a iron block also, but for me 700 on the street is plenty . I'm rarely more then half throttle.

Rolled the car out of the garage and lit it on fire today. Invited a few friends over to drink beer around the fire.

Pics or it didn't happen!

 

[jodadejss06gt]

I got upgraded pins, not that I have even come close to needing them :-(

 

[JoshK]

Lol, I didn't actually haven't really done much of anything other than sell off more parts. Turbo kit and fuel line are gone now too. Should have the block, crank, rods and pistons all on the way this week.

 

[jodadejss06gt]

I like how they do things in Nebraska; except for the corn hats. Maybe I should contemplate a move!
