aLmk's Turbo FA5

Ya waiting on pistons then for machine shop to assemble. Once the pistons arrive I imagine I will have the block within a day. They are just assembling the bottom and end and all the other machine work is done.

[MENTION=56]PetefromtheStreets[/MENTION] is a good person to ask on things to do while your motor is being built, he's waited quite some time in the past.

Hopefully you'll get it back in your desired timeframe!

Ya I'm personally not in a rush, I would like to have it done for IMW's dyno day, but that is not a must by any means. Ultimately, I just want to drive the car again! And at this point I'm not sure I can do much else as there isn't anything else I really want to do that I can afford right now, other than a fuel return, maybe... But I kinda wanna wait till the motor is back in to do that to make sure everything reaches and clears everything.

Well I heard from the shop today after he got in contact with JE, and my pistons are 'in line' to be made and they are behind, so they are expecting about 2 more weeks

I'd get my money back and go with a different shelf piston.

I haven't actually paid yet, but I was thinking about that and looked into CP pistons, but from what I could tell they don't have 86mm pistons in 10:1 comp ratio. And I really don't want to run 9:1 and the next option is 12.5:1 which I definitely don't want. Also wouldn't most other companies be about a month as well, I figure most of the piston companies out there don't stock sport compact parts because of the lower demand, but maybe I'm mistaken

Realstreet performance stocked various pistons last I checked. And you can call different vendors and check on compression and availability. But 2 weeks isn't bad if it actually happens in 2 weeks time. I waited for Rods for months.

[MENTION=1]BoostedK20[/MENTION] can get you pistons and likely anything else you need!

nothing worse than the wait...
