SlideMySoarer Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Okay, so I'm trying to research options for building the GE to go turbo, more specifically options for pistons and manifolds. I know there are a few pistons - greddy (too much $), je, something else i cant think of right now....anyways, I'm basically looking for price and where to buy them. Also, manifolds, I dont want a full kit, but i wanted to know what manifolds are out there and where to purchase them. Okay, thanks for any input.

Lex Luthor Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 You can use TT pistons, they're strong and reasonably priced. As for manifolds, check out SP's unit...it's ceramic-coated tubular stainless steel, not the cheapest but it's a real nice piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzz30 Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 since you are building it you should go ahead and change the rods too because you dont want to do all that work and have the rods give out so get some crowers for about a grand. and i should mention that the GE rods are thinner then a b16a rod from a honda.

bean_8044 Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 Size doesnt matter....forging techniques and what not. Those crazy Toyota engineers...what will they think of next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWJ Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 Pre vvt-i GE internals are very strong. This ain't no honda. Cars have made 600 hp with only lowered compression. Running nitrous on top is what breaks it. I'd recommend fuel system research. That is more important. The stock GE can make 400hp at the wheels all day long.

jzz30 Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 yea the pre vvt-i but when that kicked in it also can only hold about 400hp then it will let go. i know size doesent matter but well these were just a bit too small. even my friend which is a veteran tuner says that they are a bit too small to be carelessly making power on. so i would say dont skimp on rods.

jzz30 Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 ok my bad again he wants to build a older GE so um yea after vvt-i the rods were a bit weaker. and but i would still change rods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlideMySoarer Posted June 1, 2004 Author Share Posted June 1, 2004 Okay thanks for some of the good info. I'm fine with the stock rods, and I've got fuel covered. I was just more interested in what pistons were available, and what manifolds were available. So again, any suggestions on those two items would help. Thanks.

jzz30 Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 well Aries are good JE's of course, they will all be about the same price or you can use the TT pistons they are better than the GE's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
