    Gen 1 vs Gen 2 Low Comp Pistons

    I am building a turbo’d gen 2 engine using a gen 2 crank and a gen 2 head but using gen 1 rods and gen 1 9:1 pistons for the 20mm pins. I will be using a base spacer to account for the difference in pin size. But, i have planned on using gen 1 9:1 wossner pistons to match to the 20mm pins...

    Its Finally Done… Mostly (Turbo’d)

    The wheels are anodized gloss red. I had the swingarm powder coated to match a red gloss anodize. It actually came out very close and looks really good in the sunlight. Once I get the carbon body done i was going to powder coat it flat black because what i am doing with the body, i do not think...

    Its Finally Done… Mostly (Turbo’d)

    In the last year and a half i built an intercooled turbo busa with a maxxecu and motec c127 dash and 100% engine build. It survived the dyno at Schnitz about 6+ weeks ago and is running fine. I made about 100+ videos going through the process step by step i will put on youtube soon. If you are...

    New Build Compression Test

    Problem solved. Stupidity was the reason. Too much fuel. I spent the last year and a half doing a 100% engine rebuild (6 months waiting on APE) and inter-cooled turbo install and forgot I installed into the fuel rail, larger injectors. I suddenly remember that, installed the stock injectors and...

    New Build Compression Test

    Motor has never run after the complete rebuild. All new parts and gas. I took it apart down to the cams. Verified timing and re-degreed the cams. Exhaust at 108 (per webb cams) and intake was 109.75 so I fixed that to 108. I also degreed in the cams on a different stock gen 2 engine i have to...

    New Build Compression Test

    Yes, I verified the intake and exhaust marks per the manual at TDC for cylinder 1. Marks are even with the cylinder head surface at TDC pointing left side for intake and pointing right side for exhaust. Verified valve lash. I then rotated engine 180 degrees and both marks are pointing towards...

    New Build Compression Test

    I believe so. Just checked timing at TDC on cylinder 1 and it is right on. Leak down is good and all cylinders very similar in leak down and compression. Compresson is low at 120 but given 100% rebuild and rings are not seated and low compression pistons is that normal? But if it is, why will it...

    New Build Compression Test

    I have a turbo’d gen 2 with 9:1 pistons and a full rebuild in the engine. Started it for the first time for 5 minutes and it would not idle and no power over 5000 rpm. Decided to do a compression test and leak down to verify everything and check timing which i did prior to putting it in the...

    Odd Motor Question

    This might be a weird question but still need to find out. In the image there is a bule arrow pointing at a hole on the gen 2 motor which exists on both sides. Any idea what they are there for? I need to loose both but need to make sure I am not missing something like some special engine support...

    Low vs High Compression Turbo Pistons

    I am hoping someone can offer some advice on a build I am doing. Street use but do go to the track. Will be 300+ hp. I have a 2015 Hayabusa that has a intercooled turbo(garrett gt35r), 83 mm bore, forged Carillo rods, lightened and race balanced crank, oversized valves, port and polish. Web...

    Is boosted cycle performance still open?

    Beware of this company, Boosted Cycle Performance. I called and emailed them about getting some work done well over a month ago and never got a response. What do you think will happen once they have your money and call them with a question?
