FORGED LT1....plus spray
FORGED LT1....plus spray So here's the thing..... I spun a bearing in my 95 A4 Z28. Car has mods in sig. Plan is to rebuild with a fully forged 355 assembly. Ai Forged 355cid LT1 Rotating Assembly Package:
# Compstar Forged 4340 3.48" Stroke Crankshaft
# Compstar Forged 4340 H-Beam Rods
# Mahle Forged Pistons (-5cc, -16cc, or -26cc)
# Mahle Plasma-Moly 1.5/1.5/3mm Ring Package
# Mahle Steel Pins & Wire Locks
# Main and Rod Bearings Included
# Internally Pre-Balanced by Callies/CompStar!
Here's the link to the kit that i plan to use. http://www.advancedinduction.com/AiP...sCompStar.html
Question is..... the ultimate goal is boost. I.E. Low compression somewhere between 8.5-9.5:1, fully forged, etc. I know this process is going to take me over a year to finally finish, including built 6 speed swap, rear end, suspension, tires, fuel system and all the other goodies. But after the motor rebuild I am seriously considering a temporary nitrous set up. Only pushing 100-150 shot. But would it be a problem with the lower compression (I've always heard nitrous loves compression). My problem is with the dropped comp. i know my power band will drop significantly, so I'm looking for a little something to make up for it. The spray will be used very conservatively and a proper tune will be included.
I just want to make sure this is a safe option for me. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Also, no spraying through the shifts.
