Asad Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 so there the cheapest.....any performance gains over the other makes like weight? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
riko666 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 They are cheap, and for a reason - the SCAT rods weigh a ton, need block notching and so on, but they're silly cheap. Basically you need to weigh your options with what you want out of the setup; Wiseco/SCAT sets go very cheap, allows you to have cheap forged internals which will net you that safety margin with higher boost/loads. Done. If you want some actual objectives met, then there are many other options, just like with differentials - would you prefer mechanical or helical, or don't particularly care and just want a differential to limit traction loss? Likewise with camshafts, are they matched to your setup or are you just hoping to "add" power, somewhere in the rpm-band willynilly?And so forth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
g-v Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 Happy days for some of the info. Should I go 4e or 5e? I have the option there to do it. With the pistons, I have been offered je forged pistons, are they any use to the wiseco? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 JE pistons are some of the best available, i used them in over bored mini engines and i currently run them in my forged 4e, they are expensive but have been around years and are very very good pistons. Quite expensive compared to most but quality is second to none! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
riko666 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 What he said4E and 5E essentially depends on what you want out of the engine; having a slightly longer stroke the 5E will benefit torque range and amount over the 4E, allowing to obtain perhaps marginal improvements in spool characteristics on larger turbochargers, whereas a 4E will favour a higher/quicker revving setup, with slightly peakier delivery. Should also consider compression ratio - granted lowering the Static ratio gives some head space for Detonation threshold, but at the sacrifice of combustion efficiency, response, and so on. If you have a very good tune, a higher c/r setup can provide big gains in responsiveness and torque, albeit with a decreasing margin of error when increasing boost levels.
