just to get you all worked up.....

joeyb · October 7th, 2010, 03:43 PM

well you sure as hell did.............thanks so much again, timmy - you da man!

YOU need to buy a pozzy..........unfortunately. but you do.

I send you $ now.

jvu · October 7th, 2010, 04:11 PM

oh man, how much for all of those?

joeyb · October 7th, 2010, 05:14 PM

we got a deal it's usually around 1100.

Lanzerralliart · October 7th, 2010, 08:16 PM

So are these direct replacement size or is a slight bore needed??

joeyb · October 7th, 2010, 08:18 PM

bore needed. like 1mm over. 10.5:1 compression

randman · October 7th, 2010, 08:25 PM

And wheres my set? lolz seriously PM me the info for those please and thank you!

joeyb · October 7th, 2010, 08:38 PM

^you really want some man? have you seen dejected's 'blew motor' thread? that's where a lot of this was discussed. there was also a 'piston sale' thread but I think it's closed and the sale is no longer on.

BUT Timmy or dejected can give you the # of the guy who made these for us. Russ/Ross I can't believe I don't even know. I've just let timmy take care of the details for us. I know he got a discount for being a selfless badass calling from iraq, but i don't see the guy just giving that deal out to anyone...

timmy will see this tomorrow and PM you the # or dejected will see it sooner or later. Or let me know if you don't hear anything randy and I'll ask tim directly next time I chat with him.

Freeker · October 7th, 2010, 11:42 PM

bad ass joe im so damn jealous!

joeyb · October 8th, 2010, 04:09 AM

yeah man I am so stoked, it's gonna be insane if I ever actually can get the rest of the parts and get it built - but dejected and timmy will probably be done way before me.

rangertimmy · October 8th, 2010, 04:20 AM

they are made by ross racing pistons. 310-536-0100, or just visit their website. if you call, ask for Ian. they now have data for two types on our gt's. a dished 8.5:1 comp (dejectedangle) and a flat-top 10:1 comp (pictured in this thread). they are a .040 overbore, but basically, if your going to replace pistons, a rebore should be done. that bore will put us at a 4 liter (reference dejecteds thread as he has already done this)

i recommend the flat top. as i spoke with Ian at Ross wanting to retain the HP we achieve with our high compression but help eliminate detonation, after some research and discussion, this is what he came back to me with. around 1100 dollars a set. expensive, but extremely high quality. i have seen JE, APR, other import replacement pistons. no comparison. these guys dont mass produce for our market like the honda hugger companies. they make only high performance racing products.

horse-eater · October 8th, 2010, 05:05 AM

ohhhhh shit son. congrats guys.

guess what a little blue car is gonna get for christmas.

no traction in 4th gear anyone?

I am going to use them in an all motor build application.

horse-eater · October 8th, 2010, 11:18 AM

if you are doing an all motor you really dont hvae a need for pistons unless you want to up your compression or go a crazy cam and need valve releif cut into the piston heads

Yeah all motor for now. But i figured while i was doing the heads i may as well do the whole top end if i plan on spraying in the future.

Pricey but it seems like way less of a headache to tune imo.

pdiddy1995 · October 8th, 2010, 12:11 PM

Nitrous on a fully built GT... interesting

horse-eater · October 8th, 2010, 12:21 PM

mine will still be faster joe.

buy some pistons and single turbo your car before i get home.

joeyb · October 8th, 2010, 01:00 PM

^I'm sure you're right man but I can dream can't I?

who knows when I'll even have this built. I never even wanted to go this route - too expensive - but now I am committed.

joeyb · October 8th, 2010, 01:23 PM

holy shit those are just bad as fuck I can't stop looking at them....fucking top end.

+ delta cams valvs/springs/retainers

TwilsonD7 · October 13th, 2010, 04:58 PM

How's that compression going to when you're not boosted (which is like 90%) of the time...

joeyb · October 13th, 2010, 05:31 PM

mine are 10:1 compression - none lost. gonna be sickness.

joeyb · October 16th, 2010, 04:21 AM

thanks again timmy. I can't say it enough.

flat top and 10:1 (or close) compression retained.
