Shopping List

[bobob 0]

I'm just gathering parts to install PeterT stage II cam. This is my 'shopping list' so far:

 

- GTi6 injectors

- Number 4 pulley/ vernier pulley

- ECU remap/ standalone of some sort

- sort out compression

 

Anyone know anything I'm missing?

 

Thanks

might as well put a new cam belt on it while its off mate, just to be safe?

How are you planning on sorting out the compression? Proberbly wouldnt recomend skimming the head, maby a copper gasket? Is the motor out?

I'll soon have a set of mint xu10j4r pistons for sale, these are a millimetre taller so should give a nice increase in CR assuming there is room in the block for it. Selling as I need s16 pistons in mine to compensate for the restroke.

Wow this could be a really usefull topic for me aswell.

 

Im also looking to increase CR in the near future, I have a mi16 DFW so has lower CR than the more common D6C mi16's. Ideally i would like to achieve 10:4:1 (depends on £££), and use a Peter T stage 2 cam. What options do i have to do this, and at what cost? A mate of mine has a spare D6C mi engine that i may be able to rob pistons and liners from

If you have a D6C with a healthy 10.4:1, then the Stage II is fine. It won't work on a DFW with only 9.5:1. In regards to pistons/liners, if the DFW set is better than the D6C, I'd consider decking the block/liners 1.3-1.4mm, rather than using worn D6C liners. Alternatively, buy new liners and rings and use your friend's D6C pistons.

 

The #4 pulley is the best choice for the Stage II grind, but I wouldn't use bigger injectors without a new ECU.

Thanks Peter, great advise! So if i were to deck the dfw liners, would i need to use the d6c pistons?

No, use the DFW pistons. The idea is get the pistons flush with the top of the liner at TDC.
