im looking into a build motor from import part pros stage 1. it runs around 4400 i believe before freight.

 

http://www.importpartspro.com/st1vqloblni3.html
i might just buy it up front when i get back from the desert in february hopefully don't really want to do the core charge just in case something goes wrong i have a second one to drop back in..

 

just do it.. what piston you are getting? dont get anything lower than 9.0:1.

 

when i get back from the desert i will look into the motors lol.. heres a list.
Wiseco Pistons .020 over
Eagle/SCAT H Beam Rods
ARP Rod Bolts
Block inspected and cleaned
Block redecked
Block Bored and Honed using a Torque Plate
Rotating assembly balanced
Crank magnafluxed and the journals micro-polished
New Moly coated Race Spec main bearings installed
New Moly coated Race Spec rod bearings installed
Block prepped and assembled
New OEM Head Gaskets
Heads inspected and cleaned
Heads redecked
Ported exhaust and intake runners
3 angle valve job
New OEM Valve stem seals installed
Valve Stem Heights set
Cold Clearance set for stock cams
Heads prepped and assembled
New OEM Rev-up Oil Pump

 

why not go any lower that 9:0:1, and was also putting a launch control on the z for the drag strip

 

upgrade the rods to pauter and use HKS headgasket and L19 head studs as well..

 

pauter rods whats wrong with the eagle rods that come with the engine and the gaskets i will give them a call for what i want yeah i'm definitely going to do everything ARP studs lol. and Ceramic/Moly Piston Coating

 

Eagles have taken a sheit on me in the past... so I will never recommend them. Especially when you are talking about a few bucks in the grand scheme.

you dont have the ARP head studs listed, so just making sure and the stock DE headgasket is not meant for FI

You have a turbo capable of making high 600whp. Spend a few more bucks up front to make sure you arent doing it twice.

 

oh yeah ill make sure they put hks metal gaskets and arp studs for sure

 

Rawley,

The STS kits respond better to higher compression built motors. Bobby from CIN Motorsports was recommending as high as 9.5:1 CR. I feel his recommendation comes from extensive experience with STS kits.

 

+1 and your motor is only stage 1 so I doubt you will be boosting 30psi on the engine. Why need such a low compression if you are not going 25+psi? Just my .02

 

that turbo is very capable of 30psi, so if he gets better rods, there's no reason he shouldnt be boosting to 30psi.

 

ill call ask how much more for the pauter rods.

 

So your build consist of basically a stage 1 block with pauter rod? If I'm not mistaken Sam recommend only 16-18psi on his stage 1 block. Of course it's capable of more but he's just playing it safe. If the builder said his block is capable of up to 600whp then that is the max and that should be done around 20psi (race gas). I still think 9.0-9.5:1 is still a good compression at low 20psi boost.

 

600whp is rod dependent. with L19s, good headgasket, and good rods no reason it cant be run to the 800s. No different than Hal's daily driver motor.

 

yeah it would be nice to run up in the 550+ hp but i would be happy with a 450 to 500 hp range as long as its safe i mean i still want to keep it a daily driver too.

 

That will be easy on pump gas but 600+ on a rear mount is an uphill battle...

 

yeah this build might about a year if everything goes right so i can finally be done with the engine and start working on the exterior my car is definitely in need of a touch up.

 

Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone has the ART Pipes and has a clip with the sts setup. Thinking about giving them a shot.

 

And here is my dyno vid, i could not remember if i posted this already. Well here it is anyway,
