Thanks Jeff. I have truly missed talking shiz with you guys and bouncing ideas around about mods even if they have been done a thousand times before haha. Just taking the guards off the sedan and cleaning up under there was hugely satisfying.

Cant wait to make a start on the interior and engine build.

There will be many many questions and parts I will be chasing.

Welcome back mate you were truly missed

Thanks Andy its good to be back.

D I may be interested in the pistons if they arn't crazily priced.

I see it wasnt a carb but a TB that makes 127hp atw...

also DD cant find the E15et pistons some1 had for sale with heat and friction coating
ziggy might be interested in them as the member moved away from A series

Welcome back ZigZag

Quote:That 127hp Sikyne dyno'd was with his cheap EFI. It used the stock A12 carb manifold, but with a Hyundai throttle body and $550 AUD Microsquirt V3 ECU, loom, sensors

Just use stock A14 pistons -- can make 240 hp. Keep the RPM below 7000 and no need for forged pistons or ARP rod bolts. Keep the engine from detonating (prevent lean-outs and knocking/detonation) and they'll last a while. Check out sikynes turbo development thread

Racers turning 8500 rpm need both forged pistons and ARP rod bolts

76mm stock available in 77 and maybe 78mm
best 76.5 or 77mm for extra meat

I think the E15 pistons are 78mm and only cost $100ish a set. what kind of bore would I need to do on a A14?

someone was selling E15et pistons already teflon coated very tough
rods are already super tough and stock springs fine under 7k rpm

How that 127rwhp is using reworked stock carb! is great
