Nice hardware, fix the focus on the camera
11.1 comp and nitrous?

furious max

How much did they run you?

3rdmaxse0

I used my digi cam because I lost my 500$ camera at world of wheels two weeks ago and they are 87.5 mm 10.7-1 comp. wish they were 11-1 but dont want the case of the knocks. Im stingy with gas "87". and they ran me almost 1100 with shipping. I dont wanna put them in. they look to nice and shiny.

internetautomar

iTrader: (30)

so basically you spent $1100 for .2 compression points?

CandiMan

iTrader: (1)

They are not just .2 compression increase, they are JE forge slugs. If that makes it better, I don't know

3rdmaxse0

I spent that for reliability and strength. and I dont care how much I spend cuz I make it back in a few weeks. and when im done with this motor and is in the car im dumping another 4k into the old one. and im gonna make custom cams and tweeked greddy TT manifolds and 90mm 9.1 pistons and crower rods and shot peenes and cyro treated crank and cyrotreated block and lots of head work. I dont care what u think if ur gonna flame me on my own post. its my car my engine my money I do it for me. and the second motor is gonna be a drag car. or my casket.
HAVE A NICE DAY
PS its .7 increase from stock. hell the motor its going in went from 10-1 to 8.5-1 and soon 10.7-1 what a *****.

Good for you. It's great to have a hobby. Some are more expensive than others.

OOPS, I was thinking stock was 10.5:1 :doh:

subs1000w

the na 300zx VG30DE have 10.5:1 stock which is proboly what those pistons were designed for so technicaly you .2 is correct

and i just dont understand why you would spend 1100$ on pistons when your only planing on running a 100shot. i mean thats not even enough power to break anything haha. but good luck i hope you get it dynoed id like to know what it makes NA

if you really what to get your moneys worth i would run a progressive nitrous controller and have it set up for

1st = 50shot
2nd = 125
3rd = 200
4th = 250

now wtih that setup and a piar of good slicks, clutch, biult trans you could proboly get into the 11's which would be mean

A 250 shot? Gdamn. I can see that on a well-programmed Volvo b21 (240 turbo), but then again those motors have been known to withstand over 30 PSI of boost with no internal mods but a metal head gasket. It would take some stout aftermarket rods for a VE to take a 250 shot.

subs1000w

i quess you didnt realize the VE shares the same rods as the twin turbo 300zx which have been taken to 600hp reliably. im very confident that it would take a 250shot but only under one condition THAT IT WAS WELL TUNED

and you know this how?


my 10.5:1 pistons are dirty, but they can clean up well

MrGone

what do you mean you "dont want a case of the knocks"?

plus you plan on using 87 octane gas in this motor?

I'm confused, you've spent $1100+ on pistons, should spend atleast $300 on machine work, probably $150 on gaskets and other crap, and your going to try and save a few pennies by using 87 octane gas? please tell me I've mis-understood you.

is that after paying the bills and creating a 'cushion'? ifso, I want your job.


you might want to find a faster casket A 92 maxima isnt a car I would want to go out in :-/

I can only assume this is Julio's old motor. I dont doubt that he did a good job building it, but now your on its 3rd time around. Plus I was told the reason why he moved on from the maxima was because he hydrolocked the engine. What size rings are you going to be running? I still have great honing marks on my 165k motor and all, but dang thats pushing it IMHO.

anywho, its nice to see someone actually dumping lots of serious money into their 3rd gen and all, but I can tell you that after about $6000+ I sure wish I put it into my mustang instead :-/

from my reasearch and whats usually said on most nitrous forums...nitrous and high CR isn't really as bad as boost and high CR...the race motor in one of our civics we are building will run 13:1cr and 150 shot....or at least we hope it will when it comes out this summer.... but serioiusly there have been many high CR nitrous cars. I plan to run 100 shot on top of 11.5:1 in my own car. the secrets will be ignition timing and whether the bottom end and valvetrain is up to the task I guess.

and nice pistons, but $1100...ouch, glad I'm not trying to mod a 3rd gen anymore...waaaaaaaaaaay too much money for all this custom ****

treat your wallet nice, mod a Honda

i see A LOT of big words here. all i can say is i believe when i see. until then you're just another bench racer. i see time and time again people talk a big talk and etc...then something comes up and everything goes on sale the all that talk was pure BS.

He's obviously made up his mind. Don't confuse him with facts.

i guess all we can do is sit back and see what happens. i wish him the best of luck in it.

subs1000w

i dont understand is why he didnt buy off the shelf pistons like the ROSS 11:1 for 489$/set with rings and pins. they would probobly hold enough power to split the block and be half the price although i bet the stockers would hold more than most think

the second motor isnt gonna be in a max. waiting on bearings and sending out to machine shop. engine DID not hydrolock. o-ring blew through rail washed down cylinder. and mixed with oil making it very thin therefor couldnt be pumped properly and all the bearings starved and scored. no damage done to wall. rings were not damaged crank good rods good. missing teeth on idler. and front cover is missing about 25% of front. I use 87 on this motor. 234k i dont care anymore. and I have only have a cellphone bill to pay. and work full time as an electrician apprentice liscenced in less than 4months. which base is 20hr . and two yrs on state paid jobs making more than that.

JE Pistons are the ****...no matter what they are going in.

I wouldnt run 87 with them though, you will only save around $3 if that on a tank when going from 87 to 91, not worth it, especially if you are going to use nitrous.

87 and nitrous thats funny ****

did you have to reconfig your ecu when you put higher comp. pistons in?

you were so happy when you got them you couldnt hold the camera still. kewllll
