8.0.1 compression forged pistons for my 5efhe build what the best thickness of head gasket to use

 

[AzE_B]

you mean you what 8-1 compression

yoy need to work its out http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=compression+ratio+Calculator&btnG=Search&meta=

what pistons you planning on using might help, google compression calculator and work it out, off head if u use wiesco -10cc drop pistons and a 1.2 hg i think it's abot 7.8 -1 or there abouts

 

[hoochhenry]

so whats 1.5 bar in psi

 

[AzE_B]

whats that got to do with anythink

 

[hoochhenry]

wiesco -10cc pistons yes thats what im useing 1.5 bar i need to know calulator is for psi

 

[AzE_B]

google 21.7557 psi

 

[hoochhenry]

heres the pistons im getting forged rods so??????

 

[hoochhenry]

im looking to run 1.5 bar of boost with this set up so i think a 1.6 mm head gasket will do the job

 

[AzE_B]

mate do you have any idea what your doing or you just throwing parts together

 

[hoochhenry]

have an idea looking for some feed back mate

 

[_GAZ_EP85_]

get a bigger pic up mate, what piston and rod combo is that?

 

[AzE_B]

if you use a 1.6mm HG your comp is guna about 7.4-1 what is abit low for what you want it for id use a 1.2mm

 

[jabran200]

here you go.

 

[_GAZ_EP85_]

so your gonna build it with stock rods, why not do it right and put pautor 5e one's in, do it once mate

 

[AzE_B]

hes guna now u missed the other post

 

[hoochhenry]

yes im going to put forged rods in after the other thread thanks to the lads so a 1.4 headgasket right for good power with the ihi turbo should i hit 300 bhp then?????:homer:

 

[hoochhenry]

bump this uppppppppppppppppp

Wondering why you would bother building the engine with such low compression, if you are getting forged units and you have a aftermarket ecu from an emange up in quaility something like 9.0:1, 9.5:1 even will better assist you gaining your 300hp and not to mention better drivability and more torque, the compression will also allow you a wider range in turbo choices all you need is a good tune which you would have to do anyway. Allot of newer cars run higher compression ratios like the vag cars golf, tts boras also to the newer evos, the newish turbo colt.
I mean 8.0:1 is not horrible but I will believe it would lack a certain crispness in comparsion to a slightly higher compression engine. Why not a 0.5mm gasket or 0.8 ?? When I build my 5e bottom I want 9.0:1

 

[hoochhenry]

doesnt higher mean bang goes your engine when you have a turbo lad right
