Ok so I searched for a few weeks now but not really understanding much so I'll ask. Im completely rebuilding my block. 98 7 bolt split thrust block. Im using evo 8 pistons (yes, i know how to install them, but rest assured, a machine shop will be doing the build).
I know know I have to use evo piston rings but what i cant fint is an answer to what the gap on the rings should be. I see that the spacing of the rings should be 90* offset from each other and i also know the dot on the pistons needs to be facing the trans side and not the timing side. Someone please link me to the correct info instead of me reading countless threads on what people gapped their rings to.
My hp goals are going to be the 350-400 range using a FP HTA68 ported to house a bigger wheel. 38mm 2 bolt external wastegate, 880cc injectors, full 3" turbo back exhaust (cat-less), 264 cams, posibly getting an aftermarket intake mani, and i have dsm link v2 and a wideband. Turbo will be sitting pretty at 23 psi.
Im not sure if this info is needed but i dont have a parts list in my profile. Ples help with,any info possible and hopefully from someone running evo pistons in their 2g. Thank you for any help
