Engine Build? - November 13, 2006 02:03 pm UTC
Hey guys
I have come to the conclusion that my transmission has to come out of my my car to figure out what is going on with my clutch. I figure that while I do this I might as well pull the engine as well and do some work to it over the winter. The question is what do I do? I have done a little bit of research so far and I still need to do quite a bit more before I go ahead with anything. I thought my best advice would be found right here as I know many of you folks have already been through this. I am stuck as to what parts are necessary. My mods are listed in my signature and I have no plans on upgrading my turbo this year but I might possibly upgrade in the future. So what mods should I do to my block/head. What pistons/rods/crank etc. do you guys recommend. I know that you can put the 2.4 crank in but how necessary is it. I have read that the main benefit is you will gain more torque by putting this crank in. I am also under the influence that Ross and Wiseco are the best names in pistons. The thing I am stuck on is what compression ratio do I want to run? The main thing is that I want to build an engine that will be reliable running high boost. I am aware that a new bearing kit is very important. I want to use quality parts so I don't have to do it again but I don't want to upgrade engine parts that aren't necessary for what I want to achieve.
Thanks in advance for the help.
