Hi guys.
I have 20vt Plus which is modified with GT2871,440ccm injectors,3.8 fpr,3" exhaust and Flea map.I drove the car only on 1,2 bar pressure for last year and a half because I have stock internals.
Now I decided to go one step further and forge the engine.I bought Wossner pistons and Pauter con rods.I hope this month to install these parts.
My question is what are torque figures for con rods when I install them?These con rods have ARP bolts.What are torque figures for these bolts,are they the same like for stock bolts?
I have 2,8 bar of oil pressure on very hot idle,so I believe that the main bearings are fine.What do you think ,should I change them?

no offence but if you have to ask that question do you think you are able to do the engine work and not make things worse?

proper engine building is more than bolting things together, for example making sure the tolerances are adequate. what are you expecting the piston to cylinder tolerances to be, ring gaps etc?

No offense at all.Only thing that I can tell is that we have no mechanic like Barbz here in Serbia.
I have from Wossner what tolerance should be,that is not problem.Regarding piston rings,I received them from Wossner with pistons,so I believe that is OK.
Friend of mine will help me when I start a job.
I just need few more informations from someone who is more experienced with this issues,if anyone is willing to share.
