Ross, Weisco, Arias, JE, you name it. All you need is the piston specs and any piston manufacturer will custom make a set of pistons for you. Especially, if the price it right.

[irocelectric93]

ECU? i guess im just not cool with abbreviations....and as far as that goes i think you are better off with an aftermarket anyway. i would think so anyway..not that it matters since you can't really do much with the stock computer anyway as far as changing it.

wiseco is the best bang for buck you pay 800 and you get 8 pistons in case you mess one up installing it or drop it or MELT it doubt it...

Venolia is $62 per piston. best pistons out there.

whats so good about it?

[m90daytona]

made some progress on my s/c set up this week. finished getting the tranny in. also got the new timing belt and waterpump on.


also, moved my alternator down to where the a/c compressor used to be. swapped pulleys so that i can run the alternator on the v-belt instead of the serpentine. here is a pick of the bracket and alternator.

i also am in the middle of fabricating the front bumper. i cut the middle out so it can flow more air for the intercooler and now i am trying to fill in the cuts w/ a special plastic adhesive. i will post more pics when i get done.

Actually 6PacDan beat me to it but he did it slightly different. He got a Sonata lower intake and built a box to mount the blower on top of so the blower shoots directly into the engine.

I mounted my blower upside down cause right side up wouldda put pipes through my hood.

I ran 15 lbs and the only problem was the motor had 150K+ miles on it so the rings didn't last long. Well a second problem was tire spin, but some consider that a fun problem. =)

[Boogieman142]

thats something like what i wanted to do so i could keep all acessories, but i still may not have enough clearance.

[Boogieman142]

he used a stealth lower intake, anyone have any idea as to which one is shorter?

[mwinkle353]

They are just about identical.

[Boogieman142]

ok, what about flow, fuel issues etc...
