Thread: Trying to figure out what to do with my old block

I had a W11 Avenir DET block, but the pistons blew and melted the rings to the side of the cylinder wall. I was going to get rid of it or something, but decided I should see what you guys think. Think I should re-build it all motor no forced induction? Money isnt really an issue for this, if my new DET motor blows (crosses fingers) I can just swap it out with this one.

So, if you guys think I should go all motor on this one, what exactly should I do? Obviously need new pistons/rings and gotta do something about the cylinder wall, but should I replace the rods? and build the head up?

Let me know what you think

I would def. do rods while you're in there. Does this engine have any mods on it, or is it completely stock?

yeah i have the same question to. my HG blew and when i took it apart it didnt look all that great but i dont want to throw the block away. im just scared for the simple fact that i know im going to have to bore it out and after market pistons cost a bunch lol

Just bore it out and go 87mm...

make it into a table!

Find some used z32 pistons...

i have to agree with u on that one get it sandblasted and ur good to go.

Motor is completely stock. I want to build this into a N/A monster

Anyone have any ideas for pistons/rods?

16ve pistons, go cheap

or...you said na MONSTER? go 14.0:1 CR pistons

14.0:1 CR pistons sound pretty good. It's not going to be all built at once, but put together piece by piece over a couple months, so I dont spend all my money right now haha.
