Rebuilding motor, need suggestions

[tmosser]

Yeah map has one but their out like 8 weeks I was hoping on having it done in 2 to 3

I am not saying necessarily to use MAP, but good machine work is important. Just make sure to use a quality place.

Good luck.

Yeah I hear ya. I actually am just going to look for a 2.0 rebuild with standard pistons and have tc automotive in Mankato clean and prep the block etc. I dont need a 2.3 like I wanted so a 2.0 will save me a hassle and some $. Plus I could always just rev the 2.0 higher so If I wsnted I still could do a bigger turbo. Loss of spool but gain of a longer band.

Gosh, right next to DB.

[tmosser]

Well now I see wesico makes std size 2.3l pistons. Hrm...

you need a magic 8 ball to decide man

[tmosser]

I do. My gf even said you have the money so just f'ing do it I want to see this thing done! But I still just don'tknow what I wanna do argh!!!!!

[evotuner]

I'll help you. And this will be the final approach you must decide tonight. Do you want high revving where the turbo kicks in at 5000+ or do you want a stock like feel torque monster?

Wait since im getting slight blow by on a cyl or two dont I need to bore it out to straighten the cylinders or will new rings seal her up?

That is a good question, I'd say a 2.3 would certainly take care of it. Or you can get a new 2.0 block if you desire that setup more but the 2.0's are getting way more expensive every second
