I'm looking for a good nitrous piston rod and ring set up. I just found out that I have no compression in my #1 cylinder so I'm going to tear the motor down and forge the bottom end. I plan on spraying a 250 direct port. Either a 2 stage or a progressive controller. I have the standard 20920 kit from NX now w/ the GenX II. Will I need to upgrade the solenoids for the 250 shot? Also How can I tell if my crankshaft is forged? I've heard different things about the ZZ4 motors. Thanks inn advance.

good forged crank good h beams good forged pistons

i run
(lol) stock crank
eagle hbeams
ross pistons.

have yet to see how itll do, but it will be putting down 400ishrw on motor, and then a 250 shot.

 

Where did you get your eagle h-beams from? I didn't see them in summit. Do you remember how much they were?

I was also planning on studding the main caps. What made you choose ross over JE? Just curious, I was looking at the prices and they seemed to be about the same.

One more thing, Does Ross or JE make any 4.000" bore slugs? All I see listed are 0.030" and up.

 

My bottom end withstands 300...I have yet to shoot this much. Basically you need forged pistons, H-Beam rods for added safety over I beams and a forged or nitrided crank. See my sig. Also search online for places to purchase good eagle components just type rotating assemblies.

 

je or ross will make you any piston you want, just ask them.

i bought my whole shortblock for 1400 if i remember right.

What do you set your ring gap at? I was told that speedpro hellfire rings are good.

I was also told that when I order the pistons that I should tell them that it will be a nitrous motor and to make sure the ringlands are farther down on the piston.

Sorry for all the questions, but I only want to do this once.

 

lol i have forged bottom end and im wondering if this 200 shot i put on will actually work lol

 

What kind of wrist pins should I get? Floating or the kind w/ the C-clips. What are the plus and minuses of both?

 

I got my H-beam rods for $262 from this guy http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...407909953&rd=1 he is a major seller on ebay and sells them all the time.

 

Ok, how does this sound

ross nitrous pistons
speedpro hellfire rings
manley forged H-beam rods
studded 4-bolt main caps

And AFR 195's for a little umph on the top end.
Think it'll go 10.50's ?

 

sounds alot like my shortblock, but ive got hbeams and a two bolt, i should be an easy 11 second motor car, with 3.55 gear,

so yeah, with good heads, and a 250 shot, you might go 10.50s

im also running heavily ported victor jr's. probably 220cc intake runners.
