In that case, grab your self some stock compression 9:1 forged pistons with 0.020" overbore. The wiseco's should be readily available.
I'm stoked to see how your build turns out!
Awesome! sounds like you know what you're doing. Engine bay looks good.
The haltech elite is fantastic, be careful when setting up the crank trigger though. Select the FSZE trigger setting. If you select FSDE, the tooth profile will be incorrect.
Look into Injector Dynamics, they make great...
Nice MSP, looks clean!
The major weak point in these engines is the pencil thin connecting rods. Crankshaft is forged and strong.
You are correct about the oil system. Here's a thread about it and what a lot of people did (including myself) to remedy the issue...
Those bushings work great, my shifter and linkage are identical and have held up for many miles.
Always great pictures in your posts, what sort of camera do you use?
I have Eibach springs on my MSP and the ride height is perfect for street driving. Comfortable enough on trips too. Check my build thread for pics.
Unfortunately the Tokico's are discontinued now.
Drill and tap the main bearing support plate in the same spot where the msp return fitting would be.
You can use a 90 degree fitting, 1/2 npt to 5/8 hose barb. My buddies turbo P5 was same way and it worked fine.
It was a rewarding feeling to have the car perform so well after all these years and countless hours spent making everything work. Fuel mileage has been exceptional as well averaging about 600km per tank!
With racing being canceled this year thanks to the 'covid response' I had to get some fun in before the weather turns. Got some new tires and took the MSP on it's longest trip yet.. Drove a little over 1400 kilometres past Wells Gray Park and back. I was hoping to see some epic mountain views...
