that's cool.. where are you in the actually process? and what's ur parts list?
and..
sry guyz for not being able to ome online for so long. there's no major update, but we did rip apart the block to check out the rod knock that was claimed by the previous owner. no luck yet.. haven't pinned down if there actually was a rod knock. i guess the oner was just hearing detonation and assumed it for rod knock, because there are signs of detonation and a pieceof the valve has chipped away. i'm not entirely positive on this.. but i'm guessing this is what's happening. I am looking to sell the block.. so if anyone wants then just let me know.
... The plan is on going Turbo and i'm looking for around 8-10 psi just to be safe until a couple thousand miles or so.. but initially i'm looking to go to up ~15 psi.. and i believe for that i'm going to need forged pistons, rings and rods.. any ideas on some good ones or do i have to get a custom one..?
also i'm wondering if the stock crank will handle the power and torque of this build.. because i'm hoping for around the 400whp range (hopefully higher).. but for starting off.. and so would the stock F23 crack be ideal for something like this?
I was also thinking about the kind of injectors i should get.. ideas?
thanks guys
