Re: beaterX project thread
I believe they're like 285grams each, don't quote me on that. They are *very* light though, I was pretty amazed.

I was also under the impression that it was routine. Oh, and that is a little extra displacement compared to murlo and me.  |

Re: beaterX project thread
I honestly haven't heard of anyone doing a simple .020" overbore yet so I wouldn't know what to say on that. Obviously it will sacrifice some sleeve integrity, but anything worthwhile, who knows.

Re: beaterX project thread
Got word back from Greg@GSC last night; their foundry is extra-way-backed-up so a decision has been made! Kelford 214-b's it is!
Holy crap everything is really in motion, I better get all of my secondary parts on the way stat. This thing might just go back together next weekend!

Damn that is real light. I'm trying to remember what 6-bolt .020 over Mahle's for DSM's weigh, and I thought they were something like 290grams, and are the lightest off-the-shelf pistons for them as far as I know.
Sounds like a sweet piston |

Re: beaterX project thread
Common for people trying to push the 4b11 to power levels the 4g63 seemed to handle alright I am just saying Lomker flipped the coin and from the looks of it seemed to pick the right path.
I agree, Scheides is all about using as much of the stock components as he can, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Regardless, the new setup should prove very solid! |

Re: beaterX project thread
Fukin right! I put 80k on my 4G63 at 400+whp at db and it was in great shape. As much as this whole situation saddens me, FUCK IT! I want this thing running and it will continue to get abused.

My bad, this says 340 grams/piston. I will find out for sure; gonna try and get weight on the stock pistons/rods vs the new pistons/rods for an overall weight difference including the rings, wrist pins and everything.
*edit* with info from the actual p/n's that were ordered.

Re: beaterX project thread
I've got brand new OEM pistons/rods with the rings etc at home if you want to use brand new stuff to get the weight comparison |

Re: beaterX project thread
lol, I never saw jersey shore, but i like the music Jimmy fallon plays when he does his fist pumping, the roots are awesome.
I'm just giving you guys shit, I don't really give a crap either way. But hell now you guys can rock the shit out of some built motors.
I vote one of you guys need to big dog it and break 650ish at DB.
