wat kinda ring gap u planning on running...

 

I haven't decided yet, it all depends on what carsted whats to shoot through this thing, if hes gonna throw a bigger shot of nos, I might open it up a little more, but I was thinking already of .015 or so

 

hmm...this may sound kinda extreme but i have a 005 ring gap on top and bottom..
ive only done that small on my own personal engines....the others have been 018-025.
if he runs nos i would recommend 020+ to be on the save side. is he running meth..

 

Yes, he's running 2 5gph nozzles.. so 10gph

 

if it wasn't a dd i would say stay small but sounds like it is...bigger is safer to a point

 

yeah, the nos is why I might make it bigger, and yes hes running meth, like I said, I haven't decided on the ring gap yet, but .015 is the smallest I'll put it just cause of the meth, probably do .018-.020 though depending on how much he wants to shoot nos though

 

they dident break due to balance problems they broke due to improper piston to wall clearances

 

i havent put the dual nozzles on and wont for a bit as i have decided not to yet, it is on a single 7gph and thats the way it will still for now

 

i wouldent run anything less then .020

 

I"m thinking about just throwing the old rings in, lol carstedt would love that, espically when their is only three good sets lol. no compression on one cylinder. lol yeah,

I was kinda leaning towards ,018, cause the instructions that came with the ring set basically gave some math to do, and for boosted with no nos it came out to .015, boosted with nos and race fuel was .023, so I was thinking with his boost, and the meth and if he shoots nos once or twice a .018 should be perfect for him

 

nitrous is rarely going to be used i only bought it just because of the deal i got on the kit so i said eh y not

 

what ringset

 

total seal

 

the only reason nos is dangerous is because it is easy to buy 20$ worth of jets and have a 50 shot or 150..
50 would be safe and almost anything tuned correctly...
150 is like playing Russian roulette on a engine that isn't built or tuned for it..

 

yeah, nos is also like a can of pringles, once you pop, you can't stop lol

 

whats the bore size 3.405 correct

 

it gets even better with e85...the difference is spinning the tires in third gear and not..
Im running a m62 with a 2.8 on it now..

Im wanting to see how mrbs runs with nos on his tvs..

 

whats stock bore, 3.385 irc, so yeah, 3.405, I'm at work right now so I can't just go out and look lol

 

yea .018 would be good but i would give it a tad more for the spray the meth wont make a difference in the end gap i like to run the close to the same gap on the second ring as i do the top it helps keeping the rings from fluttering and putting flat spots in the bore from putting to much pressure in between the top and second rings

 

Either or. It was still bad.

 

yeah, I won't be doing the rings till maybe tuesday or wensday though, got a few other things to do first, so I'll know by than what I'm gonna do

 

its not as bad as you think

 

^^^
the balance of a inline engine isn't as critical as a V.
cuz on a inline everything gets forced down...on a V it gets forced in 2 different directions..

 

yeah, either way, this was 10 grams off, and the machine shop brought it into about a half a gram

 

hmm 1/2 a gram
my set is 1/4 of a gram but Im just picky. lol
hope it runs good..
my 2.4 lsj will be even closer..
my crank will weigh the same from end to end and Im hoping the rods will also.
