Well, the whole project is slowly getting to the big finale. Low comp Wiseco's are in. Now I am waiting for some custom made braided lines for the turbo setup and all of the piping for the IC.

In the meantime I got my hand on a custom made decompression plate. In comparison to the OEM one this one is 1,8 mm thick (OEM is 0,7 mm) - sorry do not know what would be the tickness in inches. Fitment is perfect. fing02.gif

HEre are few pics. Tell me what you think:

 

what are you trying to get to installing a decomp plate now that you have the low comp pistons? kinda doesnt really makes sense lowering the compression of your engine even further?

you know that lowering the compression means lowering your lower end (torque) as well and the only way you can get this back is by boosting a little bit more.

the fact that the wiseco's are forged will make your engine handle quite a bit more boost by decreasing the chances of knocking

 

Yes all of this has been thought of. But the thing is that the engine has been worked on before and compression has been raised (by increasing compression and adding FMU I was able to put 130 WHP and 195NM torque) . With the forged Wiseco's compression has been brought back to a bit less than stock and the plate should help to set it up a bit lower than that.

 

lol.gif why didnt you say so earlier smile.gif it's all good then, keep it up!

btw, do you know what was the raised compression ratio before?

 

Unfortunately not. Never got around to measure it after it was raised laugh.gif . Decided to get boosted much sooner than anticipated.

 

its the composite metal head gasket that you need.
ran it on my car at 25psi.
cost $100 US.

if you've got the forged wiseco pistons, spend another $100 for metal gasket.

decompression plate cracked at boost of 20psi.

 

Basically the plate I have is composite metal head gasket. It wasn't bought of the net it was ordered and custom made at the local shop :-D . Did not know how to call it so I used generic "Decompression plate" name. But thnx for your info it comes handy anyway. Do You have any links to where you bought your stuff?
