ya why no internal modification a bump in the compression would make a good hp hop... and wouldnt you consider cams internals anyways??? why not forged pistons with a compression bump and connecting rods

tranny?

 

Anyone interested in a group buy on the CF hatch or the pair of doors? Not that i could afford those things even at 50% off ... 8-P

 

only thing i see the CF doors good for is if you put a lambo kit on them...

 

I'd be good if everything costed 1/3rd of what it's at list. I realize it's pure CF which is awsome, but dang that's stuff is expensive. I wonder how much it costs them CF wise in material.

 

Advance the timing by +2 (static) is another.

 

Since the door and hatch dont support any other part of the car except themselves, im thinking about fiberglass. It weights about as much as CF but is alot cheaper. But then again, there needs to be something to hold up all that glass too.

Ohhh wait, anyone think a fiberglass and lexan door/hatch will be available? lol. One draw back is the lexan is gonna get scratched sooner or later.

 

ahhh true

 

espirit makes 11.5:1 pistons that are the same bore as stock. They sell for like $2500 or so...

 

just sayin you know there will be some serious NA kids here that will go all out here is the serious NA beast... intake, plenum, headers, test pipes, cat back, clutch, lightened flywheel, pullies, grounding kit, cams, rods, 11.5 compression pistons, sleeved block, and a new head gasket..... and a 150 shot....hehehe (yes I realize nitrous is not NA) but that should be a very "quick" car with or without nitrous...

nah, no happy juice for me.

can you explain sleeves to me. what are they?

 

SGP racing has some 11.5:1 forged pistons for like half that, $1320.

 

honestly you wont need them unless you were gonna go with that nitrous shot or something real crazy... block sleeves will "sleeve" the cylinders walls with iron(i think its iron) it makes it much tougher under high pressures... I think eagle had a set of sleeve that they ran 50-60 psi tests on and passed with flyin colors anyways I think thats correct, feel free to correct any of it...

oh ya I forgot valves, valve srings and retainers above

 

How about increasing the intake valve sizes? or maybe back cutting the valves to improve the flow.
How about race-balancing the engine?
Fuel "cool can".

For automatics, a high-stall torque converter, rear-end gearing, valve-body upgrade, shift kit upgrade, tranny cooler, trans-brake(locks the tranny in first and reverse for "clutch-like" releases, not sure if there is for any import but would be nice).

 

We carry the Esprit pistons if anyone's interested.
