Chrishoughton1989 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 What pistons? Conrods? Compression ratio ? Head gasket ? What block work? Just want no what people used n what power lol. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Depends on your power goal tbh,Personally I feel Wiseco are the best off the shelf piston for this engine in terms of design.Pauter/Carillo (if you can get them) best off the shelf rodsFor the money Athena HGCompression ratio will depend on turbo, boost pressure, fuel used, ecu used, how competent your tuner is.Block work minimum will need, decked, skimmed, chemically cleaned. Head will need to be skimmed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chrishoughton1989 Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 300 Bhp. Emanage ultimate and I'm guessing a tdo4 set up ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Wiseco with scat rods will do. Athena 1.2mm gasket with not much work done to the combustion chamber. Look for around an 8.2:1 compression ratio since you'll be maxing a td04, could go a little higher. Or if running a td05 8.5:1 would be good since its more efficient.ARP head bolts will do the job, but if you wanna bullet proof it use the 4AGE headstuds. Who's going to build it and map it? Ultimately it will be down to them with what they are comfortable with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chrishoughton1989 Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Id give building it a bash I think. Not sure about mapping even maybe me as long as a/f guage reading ok under boost its mapped ;) lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Id give building it a bash I think. Not sure about mapping even maybe me as long as a/f guage reading ok under boost its mapped ;) lolHow'd you expect to monitor knock levels? Leave it to the pro's. Building the engines not rocket science if your competent though or have some one watch over you who has the expirience.Have to agree with Adam, wiseco and pauters IMO best off the shelf, I have a set in my garage very nice! The design of the pauter rods mean you don't need your block 'notching' to run them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) Building the engine is the easy part, but blueprinting is an art and theres tricks that engine builders have learnt from experience.As above you'll need to check knock levels, a simple home built DIY det cans is usually good enough and some tuners swear by them over the more "advanced" knock boxes you can buy. The Pauter rods are usually much more expensive than that compared to Scat or PEC, but I would choose Scat for performance per pound.Get stuck in and give it a bash mate, you got plenty of people with good knowledge on here and even local companies to help you out!

jimmymac101 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Having a bash at forging an engine sounds fun, but if it goes wrong when you start it up then it's only your fault where as if you leave it to tuning developments or race tech for example not only do you get price of mind that its a sound build your have comeback if its breaks which could save you mega bucks in the long run That's just my opinion though James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
