Sorry guys! I have been busy replacing my burnt #2 piston. God damn #2 plug! ****er melted(2 degrees colder than stock too) Anyways, I am putting lower compression pistons in and will be running a garret gt25. I will post time slips when I have a chance to get to the strip! I can't believe that we have snow in April in WI! I will try to find my slips from last year!

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>Red:
I was also curious who built your rods, who built your pistons, what the dish volume is on your piston (since I'm assuming you went lower compression) and what the ring thicknesses are on the 1st and 2nd rings, along with the radial depths used.
If you can provide answers to the above, I might believe you wink </div>Actually when you build for nitrous you want the highcompression. You build a nitrous car like an N/A car then add nos. The rods are custom forged units from Crower. Spent way too much $!!!! Don't waste my time with dumb questions buy the way! I don't have to prove **** to you! My proof will be pulling up to you in an old school mitsu mirage and running a 12 sec quarter while your sitting at the line with your jaw on your balls! Oh by the way my other baby is a mitsu mirage 4 door with a 4G63T and much more. My best time with it was 12.53, the trap speed? I will try to find the slip! Otherwise I will post a web site that you can see the car, I think my slip is on there. I'll let you know. By the way stop tryin to bust my balls!

Oh yes, I see... So let's get this straight: You're selling your "professional technical services", but prefer that I not question you on your knowledge?
So then, the people who should rely on you for technical help in building their motors shouldn't ask why their motor burns a piston when you tell them about how well it's built?
So, let's see... You're going to post timeslips from car you don't own, or that you DO claim to own and yet are going to show us that you do. I can pull an 8.82 timeslip at 178mph, does that mean I'm any more credible? Nope.
You cannot tell me that after the $5,000 you spent on building that motor, you have absolutely zero way of documenting that fact except for a single wrinkled time slip scanned by a low-quality scanner...
I'm most certainly allowed to bust your chops, because you're selling something that you obviously don't have -- technical skill in actually BUILDING a motor. Yeah, you say you participated in a few swaps. Guess what? My little brother participated in me swapping my motor, that doesn't mean he knows what the hell went INTO the motor.
You can talk a game, but you don't seem to have it. So you have pistons built for high compression? Guess what, the piston still has dish volume, in POSITIVE cubic centimeters instead of negative. Do you even know the combustion chamber volume of your head? Do you know the quench clearance you're working with while including measurement for the head gasket thickness?
SO here's the deal. If you think you're badass for making a 2000 pound car do 12's on a 4G63T, then you're sorely mistaken. 3000 pound FWD Eclipses can be put into the 12's on over-the-counter off-the-shelf parts for that motor. It takes nobody special to put a 4G63 into the twelves, especially in a car like a Mirage. Get over yourself. Hell, you can punt one into the 13's with $300 in parts from Home Depot, JC Whitney and some welding know-how. Does that make me a performance expert? No, it makes me a hack.
I can put a 150 shot into a STOCK motor Accent for $1000 and make it live through at least six runs on the track. Does that make me an expert? Nope, that makes me a hack too.
I don't have to know jack shizzle about how to build a motor in order to pull that stunt, nor does the person who've car I've just modified. But it's going to suck for them when after about the 9th or 10th run it eats a main bearing or cracks the 1st ring land. THAT is the problem.
You demonstrate none of the ability to understand what you're doing to the engine, and yet are very fast to market this "ability" to the people who don't know any better.
This is the reason why I'm "busting your balls", because you're selling something that you don't have. And in that scenario, you're commiting fraud. I'm not very convinced that this website appreciates fraudulent sales...
