Questions - Adding Piston oil squirters to a N/A-gone-Turbo block

[Carnut]

I really dont understand why you are going this route. That engine will not live on double the power… squirters or not. If its a newer N/A motor then the upper rings will probably be relatively high on the piston for emission purposes. You boost it, the first thing that will break is the upper ring land… then you toss a rod and all the work is in the toilet.

I’d like to know what motor this is since i find it hard to believe that head gaskets are going to cost you $500+

Why do all this and have it blow anyway? seems pointless to me

water injection is fine for a race car but if you are depending on it to survive on the street then that is not a reliable setup. You lose the water and you lose the motor…

I agree with this statement. Kiss the ringlands good bye. While piston squirters will help quench some of the build up heat in the head of the piston it will not make or break the part when doubling the HP. A good forged piston designed for the application should be used.
