Ross Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Since its being taken apart, seems it would be a good time to look into stuff like this. So, has/is anyone running n/a pistons with the turbo ea81? what sort of results? i figure 8.7:1 isn't that high.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 You using standard oem head gaskets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 I was. They never failed. Reason for failure was....burned exhaust valve and the rings were destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 I have my timing set to ~18. I haven't heard any pinging. It seems to be working out ok for now. We'll see how it does after some more good miles get put on it. Also using OEM HGs. So far, so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
