if it’s the full-face exedy disk, they’re only rated to like 220 whp or something low like that. just FYI.
also, if that engine is already built, i hope to GOD you plan on getting new pistons and rods. machining aftermarket pistons to fit on factory rods (which is what that setup consists of), or vice versa (machining factory rods to accept afmkt. pistons), SEVERELY weakens the part that was machined.
Aftermarket pistons belong on aftermarket rods. That is why the wrist pin configuration is different (pressed for factory as opposed to floating for aftermarket). If they were meant to be interchangeable, they would be designed as such.
as far as the blueprinting of the engine is concerned, do realize that a REAL blueprinting of an engine takes literally WEEKS to do…therefore not being cheap. many shops will say “oh yeah we’ll blueprint the whole thing for an extra 200 bucks.” Walk away. Blueprinting is the meticulous process of measuring EVERY SINGLE PART of the engine, to make sure it is making the absolute highest horsepower possible. Often times it involves buying 4 or 5 sets of parts (pistons, rods, valves, springs, etc.) in order to find enough parts that are EXACTLY the same dimensions, weight, balance, and fit for one engine. Every tolerance, torque spec, measurement, is made before, during, and after assembly, and often times each time a new step is performed, the engine is partially or sometimes entirely dismantled just to fix one small thing…one small thing which may throw the entire engine out of balance. “Blueprinting” an engine as most people use it just involves making sure the pistons are the right size, and everything’s torqued down to spec. TRUE blueprinting takes ENORMOUS amounts of time and money. If the engine was honestly truly blueprinted, and going in a street car, you my friend have wasted a LOT of money. My guess is with the piston/rod setup you have there, either someone is lying about the blueprinting, or is just saying that word to make the engine look more enticing. Either way it’s misrepresentation, false advertising, or whatever. Best thing you can do is find out who the seller had build the engine, and talk to them about it yourself.
The blueprinting info came from a back issue of sport compact car that i have in my trunk, but i can’t remember the date. i’ll look it up and let you know later if you want to read it yourself.
