So you weren't the one on 22psi.... how did you blow the motor w/o a power adder??

5-2 shift @ redline?

*S!CC_R@c!NG_TURTL3*

no i was racing a 1.8t jetta on 22 psi.. i was on spray 75 shot 1100 psi (bottle pressure).. couldnt catch traction and denonated

hey guys... i wanna go with the gt2871r turbo.. any feed back on it ? goals are some where close to 400 whp

I was trying to figure out how it knocked that hard on an NA set-up.. then you mentioned the spray.. i understand now..lol

Sucks, but good luck with the build!

thnx man hopefvully itll be up nd running in two weeks

*S!CC_R@c!NG_TURTL3*

just an up date.. i got the motor out today... and i picked up my wisceo piston 10:1 comp.. eagle rods, head gasket and arp head bolts.i decided to just put stock valvetrain back in and get a three angle valve job. also need to pick up a honing tool from snap on.. other than that i gotta pull the tranny apart and get the motor on the engine stand.. is anyone running the spec stage 4clutch ? or any recommendation for 400 whp cobalt as far as clutch goes ?

One question: Are the 10:1 pistons custom made? Because from what I can remember, the 10:1 pistons that are marketed are for non-boosted applications only.

*S!CC_R@c!NG_TURTL3*

well its a 2.2.. they come stock with 10:1 compression.. they are wisceo pistons

I dont understand why people say this.. Can you provide a link to wisecos website explaining this? Or anyone? They are forged pistons vs cast soo why are these weak for boost? If cast ones run fine for a year or so on other boosted stock Ls/t's why won't forged pistons last longer??

Skunk is running the 10:1's and much more boost then most of us will ever see and he's doing well.

the difference is "boost" pistons have a different bowl in them for detonation resistance.. however ... those will be fine

your not gonna get 400whp on a 2871r lol

Mr.N00bLaR

How does the bowl affect the point where detonation occurs? Detonation is when the temperaures have reached a point where explosions are occuring fighting normal operation correct? How does the bowl prevent this from happening? Not trying to be an a-hat but I don't fully understand the specifics

If you mean that the bowl being the result of a lower cr then yeah I guess youd be safer when it comes to detonation but that is not required for boosted appliactions like you said? Higher octane and or meth/water injection will also fight knock/detonation.

*S!CC_R@c!NG_TURTL3*

i would def use one of these brushes if you dont hone. this is what i was told to use from total seal.


it removes all the cyl glaze but does not remove material. it will also produce a nice cross hatch if used correctly
