#86308, "Rebuild Time (Questions)"
Feb-21-05 06:50 PM by eclipse7782

          

So my car (1997 eclipse gs) has no compression at all when i try and turn it over. So i started tearing the whole thing down, and i'm going to build it from the ground up. I have a super 16g turbo, crower stage 2 cams, upgraded valve springs and retainers, safc, aem cam gears, exhaust, msd coil and plugs, frount mount intercooler, sfmu, 440cc injectors, walbro 255 fuel pump, sending computer out to get race af/x. My question is when i'm re-doing the block, i obviously want to do low compression pistons. So far i'm thinking to do 8.8:1 je pistons, eagle h beam rods, arp main stud kit, melling oil pump, all gaskets. What else should i do/have to do? Do i need stainless steel valves? Am i able to run 8.8:1 pistons and eagle rods with the crower stage 2 cams?

unless you have an alternate way to pull timing accurately, the AF/X computer will cause you more harm than good. its not designed for a turbo application. it takes the timing up to far.. so since you need to pull timing under boost, essentialy you will spend 400.00 to get a higher RPM limit.

Yup and also the cams will be at your descretion. Many guys have gone back to stock cams because they are not happy with the aftermarket cams available for our cars. Pistons/Rods are a good choice. Maybe put the money from the ECU towards a clutch since you will have the engine out.
