im not bashing the bumper i like it thats why i had the same one for my 323
and i onoly had to cut it since it was from a 4 door acura legend not the same size as the 323 and again its a blackwidow kit ive checked it out so i knew what was on my car

[pumer1904]

thats koo but my bumper is a anddys bumper or aas bumper kit as i already checked on many forums like feoa erdt etc etc mayb thats the name but this front bumper i got is great im glad the only thing i cut up was a stock gt bumper foor the mounts lol good thing the stock bumper had a big hole in the front and i didnt feel like bondoing it also i didnt want a stock bumper glad u got the bumper to fit on ur 323 with out to much werk

any money that's my old head. i stole the exhaust cam out of it so i would have another spare exhaust cam laying around. then i swapped in the stock intake cam after i did my exintake swap. did the seller say anything about that head being decked to raise compression? may want to check it out just to make sure. i took alot off of my head. where was the seller from on ebay?

[pumer1904]

ummm not shure where the guy was from on e-bay got it around a year ago when i started buidling up the parts for a new engine to boost on for the t3 no the head was not decked or nothing and i will never buy any exspensive car parts off of e-bay ever again as i have a local machine shop 2 blocks away from the house that has the best deals in town lol and they do everything so im probaly going to go thru them to rebuild the one i tooke off the car and put the e-gay one on the car in the middle of the street lol but hey got the job done tomrorow willl do the clutch job and soon there after bpt baby

[92_escort_gt]

still think that was my head, but you never know. it did get sold about a year ago too. did it come with a valve cover?

[pumer1904]

nope no valve cover or anything just a bare stock head mildly ported and polished intake and exhaust

[92_escort_gt]

i'd be willing to bet that was my old head. i'd have it measured to see if it's within stock limits. i took ALOT off that head when i was running N/A. (i'm not the one who sold the head on ebay)

[pumer1904]

good cause the guy who sold it to me on e-bay i would love to see the guy in person to try and blow off some steam for him seellling me a rebuilt head with 2 intake cams lol plus was it a bp05 head??? and was urs mildly ported and polished intake and exhaust????

I am running 9:1 Wiseco's. A really good machine shop would have measured each individual cylinder and machined the bore accordingly, not just simply .40 over. But, Wiseco's are made to very tight tolerances and I didn't have any issues swapping out a set of Wiseco's with another after my block was bored.

10:1 plus a turbo is not impossible, nor unheard of. I'd think you'd want a full standalone with a great tune/tuner though. But, I think you are just running a GTX ecu?

So... where did you purchase your pistons? .20 over bore for you?

Mine were from Flyin'Miata and are 1mm overbore, so .040.

[92_escort_gt]

yes it was... very mild. i gave it to an aquantance (sp?) of mine about the time that you bought it. but he knew that i had switched the cams, and he said he was going to use it on his protege. i haven't talked to him since then.......
