RE: 3-cylinder
ORIGINAL: 93eclipsegsx the car has 133k miles on it and the guy who i bought it from said that they had rebuilt it from the bottom up about 10k miles ago. i wasn't at 5k for long, maybe a second or two and when i felt something wrong i let off the gas. i usually try not to beat on it but it happens:). if i did melt a piston, which brand should i go with? CP and Wiseco are great companies to look into for pistons |
RE: 3-cylinder
yeah, i bought it from a kid whos 19 and his older brother told me that he had beaten on it ever since. should i just replace just the one piston or replace them all, and go out and buy a 6-bolt and build it up and swap it in after im done with it? since i have a evoIII 16g turbo on it, could it have been the turbo that caused it?

RE: 3-cylinder
the inlet size is that of a 16g. if that helps.
|
RE: 3-cylinder
i have no idea how big that is.
anybody know the A/R of the turbine in a 16G(small or big)? |

RE: 3-cylinder
could it ave been that i got it real hot and melted the plug and put a hole in the piston?
|
RE: 3-cylinder
What engine is in there already? Is it the 4G63? If so then I'd go with a 6 bolt buildup. If you melted the piston then who knows what other damage has been done to the block...
|
RE: 3-cylinder
the engine it in is the factory engine from 93.
