| Peen and linish the rods. ARP bolts are available for 2T/3T rods.
Quote: | also will vernier cam gears be needed to make the most of the engine? anyone gotten any made for a 3tg?
|
The existing cam gears allow for cam timing adjustment.
Quote: | Pistons? should i get forgies?
|
ACL 3TC pistons should be fine. If you are spending money on forged pistons I'd recommend going to 89mm, as the price will not be significantly different.
Quote: | will this manifold etc flow enough? im thinking yeah cause its no turbo motor.
|
On the contrary, manifold efficiency should be more important in an NA application, as there is no benefit of positive pressure to overcome flow inefficiencies. Having said that, if you can't afford ITB's, you can't afford them. End of story.
Quote: | injector size. ive herd of 3s-ge injectors being used? will they flow enough?
|
There are calculators available on the internet which project fuel demands for an engine on the basis of VE, capacity, etc. Google search it. If the 2T-GEU injectors don't reach max duty cycle then you don't need to change injectors at all.
One glaring omission in all of this is which computer you intend to use.
