Ok. Boodt/vac and oil pressure tachs figured out.
Any suggestions on a Tach??

focus, no one is criticizing you for your build, but I will disagree that "a gauge is a gauge".
Regarding mechanical gauges, I'm not running fuel or oil into my cabin to make a gauge work, so I will stick with my sensors and electric gauges.

So, now that garrm let me in on that mechanical guage secret, I might go ALL-OUT and go PLX.
Will update soon. By the time I buy all electrical guages I can get a nice PLX system. Any1 familiar with PLX and ther sensor module hookuo?

Increasing the bore size from 75mm (stock) to 75.5mm will not add any power. 75.5mm pistons add 19cc's to the engines displacment. That is not significant enough to add more HP or TQ. Yes the block needs to be bored & honed but no it doesnt need to be sleeved. Stock bore pistons & +.5mm pistons cost exacltly the same.

IMO a meth kit on our engine with stock rods & pistons is not nessesary. It will add more power & put stress on the stock rods & pistons that they cannot handle. Im @ 155hp @ 4-5 lbs of boost & have not had any problems. Sure I can raise the boost & make more power but why? So I can make more power & risk throwing a rod out the side of the block? Garm drove around for 8 months @ 180hp. Thats 90 more whp than stock. IMO thats about as high as you want to go. Any higher, KABOOM.....

That is why we replace the rods and pistons if you are serious about power and your project.
Good aftermarket pistons/rods can with stand much more stress.

Ur not telling me anthing that I or anyone else here dosnt already know. Obvioulsy you can make more power with stronger rods & pistons. And obviously the can handle more power than stock components...

I know as I am not a big fan on meth.
I'd rather pony up for CP pistons and Crower rods:)

Yeah, but do we KNOW what it does to out engines in terms of damage?
Might be something there. Besides, pistons/rods is the way to go if you are worried about blowing an engine.

Has anyone poped a stock motor yet???? If so, what kind of boost/horsepower were U making???? I plan on buying a junk yard motor next year and packing it with better internals, but I'm just curious how far the stock motor can be taken. Any one Bueller, Bueller?

to answer pimp's question. I don't know anyone who has blown up a 1.5L motor -- although I think Tamago threw a rod, as I recall.

I've blown one of these motors
Was using the Blitz S/C and Nitrous. Forgot to purge the nitrous bottle pressure down before launch and BOOMMMMMM! Bottle pressure was at 1600 from sitting in the heat needed to be at 1000, but that my own fault. snaped 3 rods and turned the piston 90 deg. in the block. I have the rods and pistons at home as a reminder of what not to do. You my friend need to just start your build. For someone on a budget your looking at parts that go way beyond your means. As far as PLX goes I use their AFR gauge it's deadly accurate. As far as meth goes great way to keep you from detonating and run smoother. You can get an octane rating up to 101 with meth and 93 pump gas. Thats what I've been using. Best bang for the buck. I've switched to a race fuel for this new build but I don't drive this as a DD. My ride with all that high end fancy shit has put me in the 60,000 price range on my build. But I;ve had the money to play with. XBG |
