Hi got my pistons the other day in STD size (82.7mm) the rings are 83.0mm.
How do you shorten a ring by 0.3mm? Machine shop?
Also what size should the ring gap be? I take it you fit the ring and piston into the liner then use a tiny feela (sp) guage to measure to gap between the two ends...
If you got the cash then do it, but don't borrow it! Getting loans to tune cars ftl!
If I had lent the cash to do mine and I was still paying for it now, then I would be crying!
Flol, there lying!
Why can't it get on the road, if you have 20k and you want to do it, then go for it!
I spent tens of thousands on my old one, it didn't matter at the time as I wasn't botherd, but looking back now I would of rather of had a porka turbo on my drive LOL.
I've capped my...
I think you could get it too late 300's anymore than that it will explode after 50 miles, you would also have to spend über amounts of cash on the chasis and getting it to drive in a stright line!
But I would love to be proved wrong
I missed off driveshafts, engine bearings, engine mounts, intercooler ( no room for a huge one) exhaust manifold that will tkae the heat and flow upto that rate
Lop at getting that to 500, would need a steel crank, solid lifters, the biggest turbo ever, a gearbox and clutch that will take the torque, new fuel system, water injection, block re-inforced, the costs would easy hit 15-20k then it wouldn't even drive,
Buy a skyline IMO

Cat said to drop the the VVT and run a exhaust pulley (if i dont want to buy there adjustable pulley)
They sell a kit to adjust the timing on that setup too if i have too!
cat seem to think you can run them on hydro's but i think hydro's start jumping about at 8k so it would be close.
Im using OEM rods too, so i wouldn't want to push past 7750 - 7800 rpm
