16V piston to borrow for a while?

I just got a set of pistons I want to get some flycuts put into them. But I'll probably need an example when I take them into my machinist.

Anyone have some out of an engine I could borrow for a while?

run thicker headgasket, compensate with an extra 10psi = everyone wins?

On what? Avaition gas? Tight squish = big boost. No squish = no boost...

Yup that is fine, I'm going on Vacation for the next couple weeks. So I won't be taking them to my machinist for a while yet. Wanna send one out when you get back to town?

You don't need AV gas to run tons of boost on a shitty squish head... this has been proven time and time and time again by the audi/vw guys, hell they even make an awful looking "head spacer" thing for most of the 8v and 16v conversions!

Squish isn't really the end all, be all of horsepower when it comes to a sixteen valve build, I mean, its a centre-plug head, i say just throw boost at it and tune out any detonation you may have, its aluminum and should dissipate heat nice and fast, plus its got tonnes of valves, so it'll flow tons of air... i'm certain you could make more than enough power sans squish.

So those morons making 500-800 hp on their 2v per cylinder VWs have it all wrong then?

I would only advocate getting rid of squish and thusly killing any SCR, in a motor like the one I'm proposing... it may or may not be between 6.5 and 8.0 to 1 in SCR and be boosted to the moon and back, 30+ psi, cheap project racer, exactly. The cheap fun way of doing things is always the best :mrgreen:

big huge headgasket to not get into problems with valves talking to pistons in a bad way, and enough to have headroom for a custom set of camshafts... then just throw ridiculous boost and very little spark advance at it. It WILL make fun useable power and WILL be awesome :twisted:
