I'm not sure how much I should spend. If I got the more expensive ones, over the BPT ones, does that mean that I would be able to run a higher boost? = more power?

Forged means just that. The shot-peened alloy can handle more internal stresses/power & where FI is concerned, more heat (ie: boost). Does the $500US include ring set? If so, very good price especially due to our $ @ present!

just to clarify on the plates
it use to be a one of payment of around $400 however they changed the rules a few years ago making it a yearly payment however if you sell the car the new owner doesent need to pay the payments just a money grab by the rta to be honest |

so if the car changes hands, the new owner doesnt pay for the personalised plates.. who does then?
woah 500 is a awesome price. when i was looking at parts cheapest i found was 850 for wisecos overbored and eagle h-beam rods with rings included, but there was only few for sale and it was gone like 2 days after the sale started doing this isnt cheap man, but if your smart about it you can minimise the losses that might plague you later. anything that can go wrong that involves a need to remove the head to fix is worth replacing first Last edited by 70NYD; 30-12-2010 at 10:12 AM. |

I Dont know a lot of people that would part with their personalized plates when selling unless it suits the car not the driver. I know if I remove my plates and sell my car, I can keep them for one year for no charge and then they must be returned to RTA. but if I put them on a car I get charged again as usual. I assumed if I sold the plates to someone else, they would take over the payments?? If that's not the case, a couple of rego transfer fees between family and I have lifetime free plates?? :S

thats the thing no one does the payments just stop
the idea behind it is that the new owner may not want the plates so they dont have to pay for it |

Thats not right Kane, If i sold you my car/plates BDAZLD you would have to pay the yearly fee. If you didn't like the plates you just hand them back in to get the yellow and black standard ones which cost about $30 or premium black and white $90, both with random letters/numbers.
Full custom ones was always a yearly fee, White and black plates with personal letters was a once of payment many many years ago. My UNL35H i paid about $160 once off but these days you have to pay yearly.

Alright, I should grab them pistons before the turbo and before they disappear. Anything else needed? Seeming as I'm replacing the pistons I'll probably go and replace some of the other consumables. New water pump and put cams in along with all new bits to make it run smooth. If I was to just have the pistons in without a turbo for say a month or two, how would that go? or just save up all the money needed and do it all at once Thanks for all the help guys!

i like qld because you buy the personalised plates you own them. doesn't matter if they are on a car or not. you just have to pay to attach or remove them from a vehicle

If you buy lower compression pistons then it wiuldnt run smoothly without a turbo. If your getting turbo cams aren't reeealy important.
Water pump and all the belts are a good idea. And if the crank is coming out it wouldn't be bad to get new bearings as well as all new seals |

i'd be purchasing a 2nd hand BP engine from a BG Astina SP, as those blocks had the oil and water feeds, and rebuilding it. Then swapping it in. That way you can drive yor car around until you are ready to drop it in.
As for the pistons, that all dependson what you require from the engine. low comp + high psi = huge lag + big power, or high comp + low boost = minimal lag + medium power. Last edited by project.r.racing; 30-12-2010 at 06:58 PM. |

Just an update;
Cars currently unregistered. No work = No money = No rego. Ha. SO! First priority is to get the car registered, then back on track with the turbo! Oh, also, will be organising a cruise in the coming months. Maybe a larger one than before. Will post a thread to discuss it!
