wow i see you still have this car ??

how is it going ? have you ever put it on the dyno ?

[AR116]

just wondering what type of pistons you are using and where you sourced them from?
What compression ratio is this car running?

[Storm_X]

um yes those pistons arent as flat as the TS pistons im going to use witch drop to around 7:1 as i plan to run 15PSI

Choderboy i would love to know more about your car.

[Storm_X]

sorry for a very late reply.

what piston rings are you running ?
are you running a boost retard ?
standard or aftermarket clutch ?
are you running a surge tank? also what fuel pump ?

[Storm_X]

are the hastings pistons good for 15PSI ?

alo what size exhause are you running ??

thanks chris

[AR116]

storm,
          hastings make piston rings.
pistons can be made by australia precision engine parts

[Storm_X]

Hey storm,
The factory Autodelta down pipe is 3".
I have a stainless steel 2 1/2" system on it after the down pipe.
The forged pistons I had made would easily handle 15 psi.
When I get the car out of storage for spetaccolo I'll take some specific photos for you if you like. Just let me know what you want photos of.

Sorry i ment piston rings.

Im just trying to think on what exhause i should use on my giulietta i get told all sort of things.

1st i was thinking 3" but iim scared t think it wont fit under the car, so then i changed my mind to twin 1.5 - 1.75" but i am totaly unsure.

[BradGTV]

im going 3" dump into 2.5" exhaust.
and going inbetween body and rack (body modified to fit 3" pipe), then up along the the driveshaft and out a side pipe.
just and example of what could be done

choderboy, very nice car, i love the old school carby turbo set ups, where does the oil return to from the turbo? directly into the sump or into the block?

1st i was thinking 3" but iim scared t think it wont fit under the car, so then i changed my mind to twin 1.5 - 1.75" but i am totaly unsure.

pi x R^2

2^2 = 4

2 x 1.5^2 = 5.5

2 x 1.75^2 = 6

2.5^2 = 6.25

3^2 = 9

see what I'm saying? Go 2.5"!!!

Oh - and one fat pipe flows better at high gas velocity than 2 skinny ones even if area is the same....

[Storm_X]

yes 2.5 has the higher number over twin 1 3/4. I just cant belive the jump between 2.5" and 3" is.

I was just thinking about the twin exhaust as my friend has a similar setup on his 1jz supra and has good power, but then the cost of the exhaust would be double.
