Rebuild Info for Diamante

[Jetson8294]

Would the parts from a Diamante rebuild be the same Except the Cams... if so i will order the diamante rebuild kit instead of or version of the rebuild kit. thanks!

that would probably come with 10:1 pistons.........

[Ntrain2k]

The pistons and the intake gaskets are different.

[Jetson8294]

would the 10:1 pistons work? if they do i might use them

the engine should be able to handle around 7psi, i seen a few FWDTT 3S guys running low boost with 10:1, never follow up on how long it lasts though

lol im not putting a turbo on it anyways if anything im throwing a supercharger on with a large pulley on it to hopefully get around 4-5 psi still looking for the gains from 10:1 pistons.

the dohc heads also are less prone to detonation. The 10:1 pistons are not strong, and they are just asking to be destroyed. There are a bunch of 10:1 guys who have blown up. They get real quiet after that.

[Jetson8294]

so.. its either 10:1 or boost... or would i have to get aftermarket 10:1?

[Rampage1967]

For boosted operation, i'd keep the stock pistons.

I'd reword that statement if I were you.


"For mildly boosted operation, I'd keep the stock pistons."
