they dont know what they are doing and ive heard too many horror stories

 

then why are you asking us what it's going to cost? Do you plan to ship your entire engine to RRM for the boring There must be someone who can do it if you're really interested. but as Baha said, your pistons won't fit if you do a standard overbore...

 

why am i asking? bc i may have to take a trip down to orlando and i know rrm doesnt do boring. my engine is going to be apart anyways. and i am not putting these pistons in anyways.

 

Ok, so you want to know if anyone knows of a place in Orlando, or points nearby, that you can get in touch with that's reputable.... right?

 

lol i was just asking what a normal cost would be but that info would also be appreciated.

 

I think the contents of this thread could be turned into their own forum.

Dramaville, USA.

 

Got that right!

 

Honestly do not know cost. We always do our own with a cordless drill and a hone. So far we have not boned a job yet. But we will only work on our own motors. point is we never had to pay anyone to do it.

" We have some Hyperuetectic 10.5 : 1 CR pistons strictly for N/A applications only. Can be fitted into a stock engine with no mods or ecu mods requried. Very good upgrade option and one we use a lot of. "

This is what RPW said in their new thread. They have the same pistons as we do but made from a different material and they work without any ecu mods. Pretty interesting.

They also mentioned something about forged pisonts need to be warmed up longer than the stock ones otherwise we can say good bye to them.
"Forges are great we use them but really, in a street car you can't just hop in, start it up and drive away otherwise they pistons dno't warm up properly and say goodbye to a piston skirt.
Something to consider." -- RPW

Is that true Rock???

 

Partly true. These are basically the same thing. They need to warm up to seat completely and thus make the complete intended compression. But then when you do compression checks on any engine you always need the engine to be warmed up to give you accurate readings. So.... Hope that explains things.

ROAD/RACE

 

Hey Rock, I just installed the pistons on saturday. Now I need to get my head back and I'll be able to get the whole thing back together and i can be driving it again. How much of a break in period should there be and what kind of driving? Should I stay under 4000 rpms for a while? Just like when you buy a new car and break it in. By the way, what oil should I be running with the turbo setup? I remember you guys telling me but I forgot. thanks

 

Break them in just like stock ones... then you should be fine.

 

Break them in normal Like Boe said. Run 20/50 oil with this motor. Get the correct spark plugs!!!!

ROAD/RACE

 

Run 20/50 oil all the time? Can we change it to synthetic after brake in period? And what do you mean correct spark plugs???
Dang so many questions!

 

No, they're answering the guy who asked about his turbo setup. We run stock oil and plugs. crnesst blew his car up because he used the wrong spark plugs...
