    Built motor DD and cold weather starting??

    Yes sir. my only concern was the small battery i put in because of the intake. no problems though starts right up.

    Rebuilding advice?

    not familiar with those, i used Mahle pistons and had no issues with the Gen1 squirters

    Rebuilding advice?

    if you're gonna do it. do it right. i would not use stock pistons with forged h beam rods, i would have to add the forged pistons.

    Low compression oil loss

    sound like carbon fouled oil control rings.

    need more POWA SP63 5th port kit

    thanks guys.. i did hear back from Will he suggested methanol injection would be best. the ~450whp was just a guess. if not doable. then just max out CST4 :)

    ‘06 DD shooting for 450whp

    your not going to make 450whp on a stock turbo and that small intake. next concern would be the health of the block. my goal was around 350whp.. now i want to make more. i'm limited by fuel currently. my car is a daily though

    Burning a lot of oil but compression test is consistant

    if the engine is stock i'll put money on the oil rings being carboned up. i was using a quart in 500 miles or so.. compression was good. pulled engine apart and the oil control and expander rings were all gummed up

    Rebuilding advice?

    i'm running a 21mm top and 24mm 2nd ring gap. this is mostly for the amount of boost you want to run this setup is good for over 21psi 3k on the motor i just rebuilt not a drop of oil consumption. she's at 24psi currently. hoping to up it shortly i'm using Mahle 4032 pistons with manley h beam...

    the machinist will know what's best. if the bores are round and not damaged you can hone, otherwise over bore.
