so, im gonna order my pistons/ rods....now my question is which would be better.

JE .20 over bore 8.8:1 comp.
or
wiseco .40 over bore 8.8:1 comp.

either way i would be using eagle 3-D, H beam rods
ive said before that i wanna get the most out of my motor....i woud like to run 15-20psi of boost

 

do they make cylinder sleeves for the 2.0? dun you increase the risk of your pistons goin thru the blockthe more you bore it?

 

Our block is cast iron, not weak aluminum like some cars. We don't need cylinder sleeves.

Spud, I'd stick with the 0.20 JE pistons.

 

agreed .20 over, if u dont want to have to worry about it, the cylinder walls would be very thin if u go with .40 over.....loosing dependability

 

how much are you paying for the piston/rod combo?

 

ebay has a few sets of JE pistons, eagles rods, and JE piston rings for about 750.00
im gonna order them in a few minuites

im gonna go to a shop today and see what its gonna cost for the motor to get bored and honed, and everything installed

dumb question:
is it absolutely necessary that you get adjustable cam gears for aftermarket cams??? i figure it is, i just wanna figure out what kid of a small fortune i am gonna spend on this car over the next 2 weeks

another question:
anyone know of a high volume oil pump????

 

isnt the one they sell on modern performance a HV oil pump? its 89.99

 

No its not necessary at all. Just nice to have.

 

well im gonna order my pistons/rods/rings now and then tonite i hope to get my cams....then maybe tomorrow i will order my oil pump and valve springs

then nextweekend i will order my srt fuel injectors, hahn map clamp, head gasket set, bearings, stainless steel brake lines, kyb gr-2's and maybe an LSD (i know im gonna need one after all this[&:])

 

What about the Koni's??
