Re: Ka24de rebuild
honestly - go with .020" bore so you know you have fresh round cylinders. Any forged piston manufactured by a name brand will work - i've had good luck with Wiseco for the price. 9.1:1 Compression is good for pump gas, and drivability. Stock cylinder heads will be fine at 300hp. ARP head studs,...

Re: Importdude's build 2.0- 14 year come back
That seems like a fairly stout set up, I wish E85 was more readily available in my area.
Tough to find a good deal on a set of new ID injectors, as they're a map restricted brand.

Thats 3076 / s257sxe territory for sure.
a 3071 should do it as well on pump.

Re: Car made 100hp less than it should have
While this does seem low, the number is really only for reference only. The graph is the important part.
If the car runs well, and the engine is healthy, it is what it is. What did your tuner say?

Re: Tuning/Dyno prep?
My car was on a dyno recently, and I did the following.
-New plugs, gapped to .028"
-Oil Change
-New wideband 02 sensor
-Boost leak test to 30PSI
Also, im no tuner but I hope you're on E85 for 15 degrees of timing at 18PSI. That seems REAL aggressive.

Re: KA24DE Rebuild
The rods aren't the weak link until youre 400+. Pistons are a definite. I would do a .020" overbore with wiseco pistons, ARP headstuds, Felpro head gasket and king bearings. That would be a plenty robust KA for your power goals.

I was going to do CTS-V brakes up front, but after talking to someone in the industry they recommended against that and buying a kit that was designed with correct piston bore ...
