Rebuild - Part 2

Got my pistons ordered at last, hopefully it will be here in 4-5 weeks time. Going for Wiseco with 11.5:1 comp ratio, 82mm diameter. Getting the piston skirt and crown ceramic coated as well. Its funny Wiseco does not like to deal with customers outside of USA, maybe too much hassle. So got my friend in the US to do all the communicating and ordering. They are not cheap as its apparently custom made. I just hope all fits well without any snag!!

This is also a important as now the bottom end build can begin, as soon as the piston arrives. Its been 3 months now since I have driven SP. Its sad watching it on the driveway covered and without getting any action.

This is another item which I have just ordered :

"The revolutionary new KS-4 is our most advanced knock detection system. Offering all the great functionality of the KS-3 but also a fully configurable 0-5v outputand a remote alarm function allows the KS-4 to trigger a remote warning system." more details here http://www.phormula.co.uk/KnockMonitor-KS-4.aspx

This will help when tuning the SP and also on track days, just in case something goes wrong, at least I will get a warning instead of risking damage on the engine. Not sure how I am going to go about doing this but when it detects a knock signal it will give out a 0-5V output which I intend to use to activate the water injection kit. More of that in the next post.
