best choice for internals on boosted application?
Monday, July 10, 2006 7:01 PM
Hey I have a 00 cav LD9 I am undergoing a build and i was wondering what internals i should go with. For pistons I would like to go weisco, my cylinders are scalded really bad due to overheating ,girlfriend ran it hot and cracked the head thats why i am undergoing this, anyways the cylinders are probably fixable but i figured i would just go with .020 mm oversized or would that not be a good idea? I was thing of the eagle H-beams for rods stock length. im not shure what head gasket i should use. I am running a GM supercharger but i plan to get a 2.5 pulley and coolingmist setup so is this the setup i should go with or does anybody have any suggestions for me?

Sounds fine to me, get Clevite bearings, don't lower your compression if you plan on staying S/C.

even without boring it out you can run 10:1 compression.

runing the 2.5 pulley on the s/c is not a good idea unless it is ported out cause you will just be pumping in hot air irregardless

Go with the 2.6" pulley with alcohol injection. You won't gain anything by going to the 2.5" except overdriving the s/c and having crazy boost spikes. The 2.6" will make just as much power without the danger of spikes in the boost.
