Hey Everyone,
Well, the donor car is finally in the garage and is disassembled. The engine block along with crank and rods are going in to be hot tanked and magnafluxed. I have been doing a lot of research and now I have decided to go with a completely blueprinted engine with all the bells and whistles. I'm going to use the TEC3 injection system and have decided to lower the compression. With the way things are going, I suspect the engine will be ready to install in about 4 months.
What I need to do right now is get some suggestions on compression ratios. I plan on using a T3/T4 hybrid turbo running about 14psi, maybe more! I am going to have JE Pistons custom make me a set of pistons but I'm not sure what compression ratio to go with.
I would like plenty of streetable boost without any detonation problems. of course the EFI system will help a lot in controlling this problem apposed to the original CIS. However, I would still like good low-end torque so, I am stuck somewhere in between 8.0:1 and 8.5:1. Any suggestion on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
If your out there Speedtek, I am ready to purchase that turbo head gasket if you have them for sale. And of course any of your knowledge will also be appreciated.
Thanks Guys!
Adam
