So, im doing my homework for the future 
as im thinking of rebuilding the 4efte and go forge!I will keep my current turbo setup CT9 Hybrid at 1 bar or even slightly more max of 1.1bar, i know that i dont need to go forge with that setup but i want to make a durable rebuild once and to keep it safe as possible but still enjoy :drive:!
Im considering Wossner or Wiseco 74.5mm pistons with PEC or Scat rods at the moment, i want some feedback from those who are using these items.I have some questions regards forging rebuild please:
which type of pistons to go 10cc dished or flat top? (to keep head as standard, only a face and using standard headgasket) want standard CR or near!
are all forge engines slap a bit when cold? or this can be avoided if engineered properly?
Regards forge rods, are all rods needs notching on a 4e engine? with notching does you will be weakening the bottom end of the cylinder or it will not make any difference? if needed how you will know how much you need to take off to avoid scratching?
When considering crank bearings, its better to consider which size you need after you check the crank if its need a regrind or not? or there is a method to know before you take it out? (only asking so if possible i can order all in one order, thats all)
Rod bearings and thrust washers are same as standard size with the PEC or SCAT rods?
Oil pump will be changed too, headbolts will do with an ARP ones, new cambelt kit and the other related add on parts!
thread is also open for ideas, what to do, recomendations etc etc im hear to learn guys hear from you
