mr-starion Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Ya building one of these motors is expensive i could of had an evo with the money i spent on the whole car! But then again, it cant equal out to the drive a starion gives you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funky Phil Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 why flattops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr-starion Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Flat tops Sounds like alot of compression for a turbo motor, someone on here did that, i wonder what the outcome was. Has your block been bored before? You wanna go the least oversize possible so that you can have room to rebore in case of catastrophic failure. The gain by goin of goin oversize for no reason is little to none and higher in machining costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
questme87 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 No it has not been boerd before and I want flat tops to run a higher compression ratio and I probably can get away with going with standard size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malykaii Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Here's the 4x4wire consensus on 8.7:1 flat top pistons, as in the ones that come stock in the n/a truck motors. Plenty of people have tried to bolt on the turbo intake/exaust manifolts onto their truck blocks and go. The fuel map is slightly off. It will run, but it will detonate. One guy went as far as to build a hybrid distributor using the truck timing spring to compensate for the detonation. It helped but at certain speeds on downhill it still detonated. Unless your using premium or racing fuel AND a standalone ecu to control spark timing... it won't work. (The distributor just doesnt have the advance to work with that setup so I'm willing to bet maft cant even save you. It will help with adjusting the fuel map but not timjng advance) If your on a budget, DONT do it. Its been tried. More compression isn't usually a good thing for turbo cars.

questme87 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I am honestly looking so sell the pistons I bought and buy the correct set 92mm is what I want im confused and torn between lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
questme87 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Phil what pistons are you using Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Phil Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Wiseco flattops from Randy @ www.Enginemachineservice.comIf you dont have ignition control, forget about it. Stock curve is too gnarly. Go full-on EDB, a programmable 6AL2, or even an old MSD BTM. Edited January 4, 2014 by Funky Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
