Well here's the deal..I wanna build up my balt for more power. The only problem is is that my rods/pistons are only rated to 250hp. I dont know much about internals. Can someone help guide me on which is best to buy and what exactly I need to do this? thanks

 

Wiseco Pistons Eagle Rod...

I'm going with this piston n rods, also I suggest getting ARP head studs from turbo tech racing

 

and this includes everything I will need?

 

not sure what size engine u have but port and polish is always helpful

 

It says on the thread title

 

yeah i just realized that lol....u really need to build these engines to make more power there not made for much but can be done. i on the other hand will only do so much since its my dd

 

I'm doing mine once all the parts get here. just a mild build tho. Got the rods and pistons from that link above(email them and you can get them for 750 shipped), arp headstuds from ttr, gonna get some valve springs from zzp and then i got a new head gasket, rod and main bearings, and valve cover gasket kit from the dealer in town. I'll be doing it myself with a buddy. Just go by the build book and torque everything right.

 

im thinking about going all motor. running higher compresion. i know nothing about building motors. im going to take mine somewhere to get done. i just need help on what parts to order lol

 

We carry a full line up of Engine internals. Many items are in stock.

 

glowbalt i have the 2.2 build book saved on my labtop if you want i can send it to you. pm me your email address. it's for 250 to 400 hp and then it also has 400 to 600 hp on there

 

now with the rods/piston set on that link, will I need a tune for those?

If your building a roots style supercharged motor I would never dip below the factory compression. It's part of the reason the 2.2 makes so much torque with the M62. You will you gain more power probably not but reliabilty yes. Dropping compression will actually cause you to lose torque and possibly horsepower.

not trying to bash but this is just dumb.

1. our heads flow like ass and not even too great when ported and polished even though its a huge increase.
2. u will spend a lot of money for minimal gains.
3. depending on wat compression u go..anything over 12:1 really it wouldnt be very wise to run pump gas even if its 93. U would probly need a mix of race gas and 93 at a bare minimum
4. if u wanna go NA plz get a v8 u will thank me afterwards

 

you said this completely backwards lol u will gain more power from higher compression but u will sacrifice reliablity lol its safer to run lower compression on boost but not needed unless ur shooting for over 400 IMO which i am so i swapped to 8.9:1 for safety reasons.

But i know that u know wat ur talking about just from ur other posts

 

question still remains..lol..will I need a tune If I bought the ones in the link?

 

u will need a tune for just the air and fuel mods...if u added stock compression pistons and rods a tune is not needed...if u change injectors or a throttle body or something like that is when the tune is really needed

 

The link doesnt say..either that or I dont understand.lol

 

not to thread jack but I respect your idea of going N/A. However, cost wise and power wise IMO Supercharging is the way to go.

 

the link is for 10.1 compression and rods for a 2.2 so if u put those in no tune is needed. if u did these engine internals are u gonna still use the m62 blower?

a parts list u would NEED is rods, pistons, rod beaings, main, bearings, arp headstuds, and a new head gasket at the minimum.

 

Yes Im still using the M62

 

ok and for ur tune ur only choice is trifecta...but the parts i listed u need to replace and u should be good to around 350 if u do valvesprings also

 

I have a trifecta tune already. lol...but I was just wondering if I would need a change in the tune for the RODS/PISTONS...But you say no so its a good thing..I dont plan on going over 350 anyways

 

you won't need a tune until you turn the boost up or drop pulley size in your case
