ok gotcha. So IT WOULD be a good idea to lower the compression if I'm going to go turbo. Now if I don't, then it was a bad idea to lower c/r? Does the c/r ratio actaully matter when putting out numbers, like for instance, an 11:1 on an NA is better than 8.4:1? Could you link me to...

I know, but then I go to say about lowering the compression and people are saying why? I already read about detonation.

Subscribed thanks for the help. Your talking nonsense to me though. 120ra? lmao this is why im like getting discouraged with my build, dont wanna pour all this money out and 5 minutes and it blows up. I want a nice good reputable machinist. Everyone tells me someone different

Well wait, why does the gte get so much more to the ge? Would it be really worth it go the gte route? What if I made the internals as close to a gte? So if I am understanding right, it's good to higher the compression on an N/A, and good to lower the compression on a boost? What if I...

Because I want to go turbo, and I've heard it's best to do that.

OK cool. But now, will a good machine shop allow me to purchase the items I want(let's say online) and install them for me? Cuz I want to go JE pistons 8.4 cr. I've heard CP is good but I heard there way more and je is good for the price. I've also heard of probe I'm also going to go...

See I think I might be tackling too much. I'm confused as to what clearances I'd have to check? I'm really afraid of doing this rebuild and starting it up and driving it for 5 minutes and something fucks up even worst. I keep reading threads left and right of stuff happening. I'm trying...

Yea, my car's a 1991 I have found my problem.

So it looks like I don't have rod knock... I mean, I don't know, I can't tell. My bearing is toasted but it wasn't spun. There was just alot of play between the cap, bearing and rod. uploading pics and vids right now I don't get it though, this wouldn't cause it to not 'pick up' when I...

This thread is an inspiration to me. Now if every car could be saved like this... *sigh* I hate when people who don't know about cars and go to buy one and there like OMFG 140,000 MILES??? 5,000 dollars???? YOU FUCKING CRAZY OOMFG A DENT???

Yea, the sad part is, the guy before me rebuilt it, and I had no idea what he meant when a buddy of his kept saying ... "and if anything a rebuild kit is only like 400 dollars on ebay" yea you piece of shit because you dont know how to build one. The tb is new, the water pump, clean...

yes, believe it or not I DID read that thread BEFORE I made this. I just went ahead and decided to make it anyways to see how nice this community is and to get a direct response. it seems like there's a majority. I have pics of the valve covers off and everything and close up pics, I probably...

I have a video here, just tell me and pay attention as close as you can to tell me if you truly think that's what it is. I put a stethoscope to it(Using a long screwdriver) and it seemed to be coming from the top. I've already made alot of threads(other forums) and talked to mecahnics...
