Pull in a bit of dirt and you lose your compressor. Why do you want forged pistons?

i am doing a rebuild anyways so i thought forged will keep trouble away.
Do u know for what HP the original pistons are good for? will they take like 0.55 bar boost? check this by the way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDFJZTeKbR4 |

Then i wont man, will install a new orginal set with all that needs to go with the rebuild, boost it to 0.5. As u can see from the vid traction is an issue on our roads.
thanx man |

I guess my question is what makes you believe the bottom end needs any work at all? Bad compression?

man during the kit install and while the oil pan was off we did check the big, small bearings and the rods and all were in v good condition. Thing is the engine crankcase vent has some smoke puffing out on high revs. So thats y i want to rebuild.

All forced induction engines are going to have "some" blow-by. Now if a smoke screen is gushing out, that's probably not a good sign. I'd suggest you run a compression test to see if your rings are up to par. If you really want to tear down the engine and rebuild it, go ahead, it definitely wouldn't hurt. However, you may be trying to fix something that's working just fine.

The turbos supplied in the Mosselman kit were fixed at around .5 bar boost. Did you install the full kit including the supplied electronics? You want to make sure through the Mosselman engine/fuel management that you set your air fuel ratios to around .85 Lambda as you don't want to lean out under boost. There was an article in the August 17, 1987 Autoweek written about the man who did my recent TurboTechnics install. Willy Mosselman stated in that article that the USA installer made the M103-12V go faster then he could. With a 3.64:1 rear the 0-60 was 4.96 and the 0-100 was 11.98. My TT 300CE M103-12V TT with the stock 3.07:1 rear runs 0-60 in the low to mid 5 second range and two weeks ago in 40F ran a 14.39/98.68 1/4 mile with no traction off the line. With traction I should see mid 13's and 100mph + Who needs a V8 when you can have a 3.0L torque monster ?

I run 225/40-18 Falken FK-452 all around. Great all around tire for road use, but lacking in ability to accelerate from a dead stop. The day was cold and windy and I had dropped the pressure to 24PSI hoping for traction. First run tried to launch at 2000 rpm and smoked both tires for about an 1/8 mile until they hooked up. Results were a 19.721, but an encouraging 89.83 mph trap speed. The 14.392/98.68 pass was basically idling off the line and trying to maintain traction. When it warms up a bit I'll try with 32psi and varying launch techniques. What brand tires are you running and what width rims do you have the 255's on ? Did you roll the wheel arch for clearance?

Guys, what HP numbers do your cars have? and what boost are you running guys? Both of you
by the way one of the KKK K16 tubos needs a rebuild , tomorow i'll be ordeing a rbuild kit and a tuboshaft from Melett (UK). Thanx guys |

I run 14psi of boost and I was making 272rwhp prior to breaking the new engine in. Once the new turbos are on and I can rev higher, I would expect around 350rwhp at the same boost and 400 or so with an overboost setting. The torque will be immense.
I think I've got Bridgestones on 17x7.5 up front and Sumitomos on 17x8.5 at the back. Had to roll the fenders all around and run negative camber on the rears.
