Reply With Quotewhat were the specs on those endurotech pistons?? like to suit which motor, what compression, forged? Ie can i put them in my NA smallport 16v and run a supercharger?
yes. yes it was. did you buy it? i went away for work for a week and i said i'd buy it if he took it to a mechanic while i was away and he said yeh no worries and i never heard back from him so i left that car alone. seemed like a decent buy minus the engine

uhh, big port: standard replacement so I'm guessing it was standard comp and most likely cast. looked like stock pistons to me, not that I really pick up on details if I'm not looking. I did go back to engine tuner and asked about turboing it and he said 10 or so psi would be fine but he was hesitant about 20 psi. haha.
BUT you're talking smallport and higher compression. just do it, it's not gonna blow up unless the tuner's a complete idiot.
yeah, i bought a "4agze" noticed that it was in fact an NA smallport with a charger on it, the guy says na its got gze internals. But i've now been told by the guy who actually built it that it has 12:1 compression ACL pistons in it!!! but he couldn't tell me the model number and i can't find any pistons like that in the acl catalogue. So since im not really sure i should go with 12:1 compression with a super charger i am keeping an eye out for some more suitable pistons. LOL

yeah i bought it for 3900, it goes hard, just blocked that hose off, ran a catch can and oil pressure is perfect, compression is sweet, the head was in fact ported, polished and reconditioned and found out its got a slight cam in it, only problem was the guy turned the fuel reg right up and advanced the timing a shitload as to try to fix a misfire in 1 and 2 that would of been the smoke you saw. nothing wrong with the engine mechanically the reason why he had the breather hose from the block was because its a bigport head and a smallport block and the bigport doesnt have the oil drain hole that the smallport head does, so i guess he just didnt know what to do with the hole in the block so he ran a breather that just spat out liters and liters of oil. its just got shitty messy wiring nothing wrong mechanically. looks fucking awesome with the front and rear bar that came with it to. you might see it driving around in the future.
well if the engine is good you got urself a good 86. just needs wheels with some offset but for the money you cant go past it
