you can always take 4agze pistons....

You should be fine with the stock pistons. 4A-FTE on this board has a similar setup. He ran 10+ lb boost, and the only thing he damaged was his transmission.

Another thing my mechanic is seting up the car to 15psi what kind of work do i have to do on the transmicion???

15 psi? Buddy get a 4AGZ block and start there.

You're effectively trying to double the HP of your car. Every drivetrain component from your wheel studs to your crank has been designed for what? 105HP? If you want to run that much boost you better have a fair bit of money to fix all the grenaded tranny's, shattered drive axles, and swiss cheese pistons.

I told him to set it at 8psi or so but he was telling me that i shouldn't have any prolems running at 15 and that the pistons won't brake but i didn't ask him about the trasmicion, but some people are telling me the transmicion won't hold that presure. I am getting the car today let's see how it runs I hope I don't have any problems.

welcome to the board Tazito. Could you do me a favor and spell "transmission" right? It's really confusing me.

tazito · 09-18-2002, 03:19 PM

Sorry about that, no one's perfect.

ek-9 · 09-18-2002, 06:48 PM

It's ok. I didn't want to come off sounding mean. It was just that it looked really weird. And some guy up there had already typed out the word but I guess you didn't pick up on it.

Anyway, I would also recommend less boost since 15psi is going to put quite a strain on the motor and sooner or later something is going to give. At 15psi, it's going to be sooner rather than later.
