...and your tech question is-

 

[96accordsir]

what kind of pistons are those??

 

[ziggo0]

They don't look like the turbo pistons thats for sure.

 

[96accordsir]

i agree. maybe evo pistons??

 

[crusada]

Id agree possible evo pistons but heck i dunno. It looks decent.

 

[sypherzero]

No clue on the pistons. Other than the indents on the top of the pistons seem pretty shallow. Good deal for 2k.

The head is awesome and like I said before your guys customer service is amazing! After installing the head. While cranking the smoke was coming from the dipstick. So I did a compression test and its 30 80 30 130. So I pulled the motor out and am disassembling the bottom end now. I plan to get rods and forged pistons. Then get a proper ecu and dyno tune.

Which brings up a new question. How much power is the turbonetics 50 trim and 660 injectors capable of?

Allan, I may call you tomorrow about upgrade to a higher stage on the head.

I also found out its got a centerforce clutch today too

i measured the cylinder walls and there all in spec and the crank looks good so my 4/20 will be spent ordering pistons, rods, bearings, seals and getting the block honed.
