you can shave the head to increase the compression

i know MM, but this will make the temp. go up to the roof and wont be enough for the compression i want and of course changing the pistons is better than shaving the head

MM, read my other post, there is some hope that i can use the C20XE pistons, dont u agree with me that if i used them in the T22 it will be raised to about 10.5:1 compression and it will be about 160hp?

maybe the compression but not the HP... remeber the C20XE got some other differences other than compression so i am not so sure about the end HP you are going to get

ya of course it will be less than 160 but not less than 150 cuz the T22 still 2.2L not only 2.0L likw the C20XE, but maybe i wont achieve that hp untill i do the modifications which i always like to do like the headers and 2.25" exhaust and another injectors from a 3500c.c. engine or 3000c.c. 6l engine, and maybe a adjustable fuel regulator with MSD in the soon future...OMG if i did all of this it will be even way more than 160 hp

again... bigger injectors won't do you anything without more air (forced induction) but the other stuff is great... i'd add a light weight crank pully and i know were to get one for the T20SED/T22SED

just pray for me that i can swap these pistons in the T22

i said with MDS, so it can be burned cuz it will be compatible, strong spark, more fuel and my leg will give it the more air, it doesnt mean that i will go with 5000c.c. injectors LOL, it was all just ideas for later.

U said u can get the pulley for T20 and T22?? in Egypt?? i think i am dreaming

wait, does it mean that i should lighten the flywheel if i used a lightened crank pully from the other side??? dont say yes

no... you don't have to do that

who got this pulley? or how much it costs??

MMamdouh · Post by **MMamdouh** » Wed Aug 15, 2007 11:41 am

opel guys... from a 97 vectra... cost is some 350LE

u think the difference in weight deservs a 350LE or not that much?, how much i will feel a difference if i got this installed?

MMamdouh · Post by **MMamdouh** » Thu Aug 16, 2007 7:24 am

theoritically speaking: reducing the weight of a crank pully or fly wheel makes the crank spin more freely... just like using light weight rims and from what i have seen, this pully is about 1/3 the weight of the OEM one.

can't give much feedback on the performance difference after the pully as i didn't drive the car that much before and after to judge but Zikas said it was money well spent.

well, i will see after finishing all the external components first and finish everything
if i still do have money for the pulley then i will buy it and let u know how much difference it was
