HELP: pistons
 
okay, does anybody know how much power my 94 850t's pistons can handle?
i'm looking to build a compound turbo stup(13g and hx40 feeding each other) when i go to wyotech this year. The only part holding me back is engine internals. Anyone with info please post. Bottom end has been honed by p/o maybe bored. idk. but i did a full head rebuild a few months back. i plan on doing rods, arp studs, and bearings.

thanks
jess

Generally it's about 300-350 whp. Make sure you have a good tune. Not some off the shelf one.

Wait, I think that's rods. But if you do rods, might as well do pistons.

very true. all depends how much $ i can save up. i mean rods are 125 a piece x 5 :mad:

Only a small price to pay in the long run. A lot cheaper than blowing up your motor. I'll be saving my current motor after the swap and will rebuild it over time so I can use the 19T to it's full potential.
