How much boost?

[youngsyp]

anyone that thinks a rebuilt engine with a set of forges make a engine any more reliable is crazy.

Of course it does, if you're running decent boost levels !
Of course, that's just part of the story.....

In that case I must be crazy!

Forged Pistons are stronger and disapate heat quicker than the standard Cast Pistons, which in turn makes them far more reliable especially at higher boost/heat/pressure levels..

i fail to see how 1.2 bar is high boost! thats what we are talking about on this thread.. ive been building engines for a long time, but cant be asked for a arguement

Obviously you haven't been building them long enough to know that this statement isn't correct! :lol:

So why make that statement in the first place?!

It is for an engine, that uses components, that were only designed to run 0.7 bar at peak boost !

Point is that its still more reliable with the Forged Pistons for the reasons i mentioned above.. It was the reliability that you were questioning..

The actual need for Forged Pistons for a standard turbo running 1.2bar is another question all together..

 

[olliecast]

are you talking using standard top mount and ecu?

now thats just stupid! you better change your rods,crank,valves,cams,cylinder liners blah blah

this is why i try not to get involved with internet arguements, i wont say no more on the matter

No, that's typing away without connecting brain ! ;-)

If you did any research, you understand that the pistons are the weakest component of the GTiR engine. And as a result, the part that's most likely to fail, if the boost is turned up ! :roll:
