G22 turbo build

thanks for the support man..I'm am focusing on school stuff now while the pistons and rings get check on...I have all the stuff but the ring terminals to do my battery relocation...but I want to make sure I have the car working before I even thing about moving the battery..just want to have the engine first before the wire tuck and battery relocation---help reduce on another added issue

alright I got the word back from wiseco...ALLL my rings are shot...so they got me a set for half price....I figure out my bore information
I need to be at 85mm or 3.346 inches I"m at 84.8mm right now, which is not badly off...I have to just take my time an rehone the cylinder walls right

I don't think hone the walls good..I didn't use a fine stone to finish the job...way to go me..I'm going to get it right this time

how are you measuring your bore? The pistons are bigger than 84.8mm.

You should take your block to a good machine shop to get it honed. If they are competent then you will get the bore size you want and the bore will be more consistent.

I just did that to see what I have loosely...I am going to remeasure everything tomorrow to exact specs in inches when i got my pistons in tomorrow

[Gtseviper]

alright I got my pistons back from wiseco...yayaya....they sent me the wrong new rings 84mm instead of 85mm....booooo...I sent it back....well all of my rings are gone....because of cylinder contamination aka honing plateau was way to rough..I got it fixed now....just waiting for rings now to finish up

[dbsharp]

well you live and learn. just make sure ring gap, piston to wall, cylinder roundness, and surface finish on the hone is all good and you shouldn't have any more piston problems.

Well I decided to do a wire tuck and paint while I have the room to do it..before i put the head back on

looks good bro do u have any video clips of your cb7 running

[Gtseviper]

nawww...it's down for piston ring replacement at the moment

[Gtseviper]

All is well...thank god for dial bore gauges...well I got it running without a single smoke trail except for the previous oil disaster burn off...well I got it running but between 1-2 grand rpm it revs good with gradual accelrations but if i rev it fast is is sluggish that until is passes that point....I put it in first and drive off and it is still sluggish 1-2 grand and then gets real happen after that

Wire tuck and engine bay paint complete

I should have pics of the monster soon...I'm doing some tuning with freelog and crome on vaccum first then gradual boost

[JunyAccord]

Hey...I pull the plugs and notice they were black and at the top of each piston was wet...any ideas
