Ok ,so im new here .I am in the beginning of my build.Ive got a 85 1.6ltr na .Im going to convert it to a td the best i can .So far ive degreased a dissassembled.With christmas i havent had that much money to throw at parts ,but thats all going to change soon.Ive got everything apart .im gonna get the block dipped so the passages are cleaned out.Ive been looking around for some decent rebuild kits,but im not to sure which ones are quality.Does anyone know of some good reliable companys with good quality parts.Quality is better than quanity 4 me .Thanks ben
if your friends with someone who has a machine shop maybe you can get them to drill the holes for the oil squirters? then put in the higher pressure oil pump, td pistons + rings, a fresh head, and turbo.
if not you can put it together with td pistons if your budget allows, as they take the heat a bit better. and even if not, then just keep boost to around 10 psi with low fueling. for more fueling you will need to intercool and have a bigger exhaust with egt gauge to monitor the temps.
Im not doing oil squirters,Im cooling via(large volvo intercooler,oil cooler,and a large exhaust).Ive got a hydraulic head,i may swap for the sodium valves,and am thinking either coating pistons or do you think using td pistons would help,even without the oil squirters?I will be monitoring temps,My uncle makes lcd monitors for boost,egt,oil,ect all in one smaLL package,I was thinking k14 for press.Ive got a bosch ve from a peugot 505 td2.3 ltr with a 10mm shaft for fueling(hee,hee,hee)

I would do oil squirters if i could get them for a decent price,i heard their expensive and hard to install correctly.
