Conquest Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Â I told all of you I would get it going. Just needed to work things out. Thanks for all of your patience. I am working with someone right now and I can get any compression and oversize with the Wiseco rings for $420 shipped! How does that sound to everyone? Now, if you could just please post or email or PM me to let me know the specifics of what you want, I can get a list together and we can get this going. I will also try to gather info from the previous Wiseco GP post to contact everyone and see if they still want what they originally posted.

Oscar_the_Grouch Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 OK I'll Bite ! But One question first... I will like to stay close to OEM Compression (7.0 to 1) as the car will mainly be a Road Race or Long track car and NOT a DRAG Car. If I go to a 0.040 Overbore piston and INCREASING to 7.5 or 8.0 to 1 Compression will THAT bring me back down to close to 7.0 to 1, or does one things HAS NOTHING to do with the OTHER ? But in any case, I would like: 1 Order of Pistons, 0.040  7.5 to 1 Ratio (May Change Pending answer from above question) 1 Order of Rings And a LARGE Chocolate shake  ;D Thanks for the GP It was ABOUT TIME.... Sheesh !  ;D ;D ;D I guess you did not require the HELP of my friends HUH ? Oscar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conquest Posted June 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 OK, Oscar, I'll put you down for a set of pistons/rings .040 over with 7.5:1 compression. The compression will not affect the bore and vice versa. We might have some trouble fitting that chocolate shake in for that price. Â ;D No, I guess your "people" weren't needed after all.

Sheesh !  ;D ;D ;D I guess you did not require the HELP of my friends HUH ? Oscar Bore size doesn't affect C/R. It's how dished the pistons are in addition to the deck height and head cc that somewhat deterimines final C/R Your still safe going with the 8:1's and throw on a thicker headgasket to lower the C/R down to 7.5:1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da_drgn Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 i'm in, the spec's are; .040 over 8:1 for me, i guess i could wait on the Magna Manifold :'(... i need to get my car running first, than i will worry about it's Fuel system later :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar_the_Grouch Posted June 19, 2003 Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 Your still safe going with the 8:1's and throw on a thicker headgasket to lower the C/R down to 7.5:1 Thanks Mike So I should be SAFE with the 8:1 on a road corse type situation...Hi-RPMs for sustained periods of time ? OK... I blow my engine I'll be coming after you man .... ;D But thanks, I'll update my choice. Oscar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89tsi20g Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 i was also told to go with chrome rings for turbo applications, look at mkiv Toyota Supra, people putting down 800hp to the wheels on stock motors and more, so something has to be true about chrome rings, Rob NJ.

Conquest Posted June 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 These forged Wiseco pistons come with Wiseco rings. I am not sure if they are chrome, but I am will check and see if we can get that as an option, if they are not.

Oscar_the_Grouch Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 Hello Jim I am a little "Engine Internals" Chalenged.... So what is the diff in the three types ? -No need to go into too much detail just some info or direct me to a site were I can EDUCATE myself Thanks Oscar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conquest Posted June 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 Compression ratio and Dome/Dish volume determine combustion efficiency and resistance to detonation. The compression height is the distance from the center of the pin hole to the deck of the piston. This is about the extent I can help you. I am not sure if there is more of a reason for the different shapes other than compression differences. Anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekstatixx Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 unfortunately, i cannot be a part of this. i cannot get the money together for at least 5 weeks. i like many other quest owners have a small pocket. i cant get $420 in in 2-3 weeks. id love to, but unforunately i am too poor.
