So... i know u guys have told me alot about the turbos for these motors but my buddy has a turbonetics turbo that needs rebuilt that he only wants 50bucks for. It has the t3 flange but.....The exhausts-hot side of the turbo is stamped AR.84. he said it spoiled on his 2.0l at 2200rpm. wouldnt spool faster because i have a bigger displacment motor? What do these motors typicaly red line at??? Thanks agian!

 

These motors can be built to handle 8000RPM.

Mine see's the fuel cut (6200rpm) everytime I drive it.

The .84 is getting big but the stock 2.3T has a .63 turbo that spooled by 2500rpm

Turbo spool depends on the mods, turbo, and a few other things.

Whats the compressor side?

 

i couldnt find anything to tell me what the comp size was. i looked, i just thought it was a good deal but i dont want a turbo boostin extremely late either....

 

just giving u guys a update. Machine shop called and cylinder #1 was out so i have to bore the motor .20....The crank was fine just polished it up. Did need a line bore tho. And needed to be decked.....other then that were all good! Now to shop for some pistons

 

Speed Pro ZL2500F75MM....found those on jegs website i think i remember u guys talking good about speed pro?

 

Almost any forged pistons will work. I like weisco, esslinger, diamond and CP for pistons. If you go this route you should look at upgrading your rods to if your going to make more than 350 hp

 

i Really have no clue what this motor is going to produce was told that my drive train wont hold over 325hp....

 

OK so i did alot of research and found those wesico pistons made for stock 5.2" rods .30 over with the dish to keep 8:1 compression for 380.00 then the rings were another 70 bucks on Cheephp.com,my only thing is i dont plan on driving hard or even taking it over 100mph cause ill be breaking somthing in my drive train. Are those pistons really needed? I want to stay forged cause its boosted....what u guys think? just spend the money?

 

Thats a good price for forged pistons with good quality. You wont break anything iin your drive train till you start making over 300 RWHP
