specs

I have this program called "desktop dyno" and you basically put in all the specs on your motor and it comes up with a fairly acurate HP and TQ measurment and you can tune it and play around to see what happens to your power numbers. anyways before you start you need to build your motor and to do tha...

thanks, I never mentioned compression tho, i was thinking anywere from 8.5-9:1, do you have any idea as to how the compression would come out with C20GET pistons and the daewoo head? I think the C20GET bottom end will hold together, if not then o'well, I would have learned the limits of the C20GET a...

I'm a little late on this but did the lemans come factory with the C20GET? Nice build btw, i cant wait to see some dyno numbers. also, with my C20GET intake i welded over the throttle body hole and relocated the throttle body to the end of the intake and it fixed the leaning out in cyl 4 problem, no...

Do you think the turbo i posted above is big enough?, what about piston and rods, what do i have to go with to safley hold this thing together in the bottom end? any guesses as to what this would put out hp wise? just a rough estimate maybe from someone with a similar set up.
thanks

Also forgot to mention I was thinking of 48lbs injectors to keep up with fuel, would they be a safe choice?

I know this is kind of old but anything new on this? I'm convinced the F40 will work, you said the 5spd and auto trannsmissions from the SAABs are the same as our block and the SAAB transmissions you have seen all mount up and the 6spd mounts up to that same motor as teh SAAB transmissions you've se...

The rear of the unibody doesn't have the mounting or the reinforcement for AWD... I have no problems with that at all, I build stock cars here all year, fabing up a rear subframe is no big deal. I was planing on doing that anyways to have something to attach my mounts to for my lower control arms, ...

Thats a pretty good price for the pistons, but i know were to get cheaper ones and you dont have to bore your block to fit them in like the ones your talking about, also I'd like to stay with the stock pistons as they are already forged and i can get valve cuts in them for less than $100. Thanks any...
