[QUOTE="Taz, post: 2516742, member: 2127"] Kyle, what’s with this absolute nonsense? What the hell have you been smoking? I’ve spoken with both Ken Christley and Brent Morris at KB, and I’ll bet either one of them will tell you the same thing I’m saying – that throwing a 2.2L screw at a stock block 4.6L – be it a 2V or 4V – is a risky proposition. Considering my conversations with them went entirely differently from the one you recount above, one of us must have had a mini-stroke that resulted in some sort of hallucinogenic episode. And where was it ever stated, or even implied, that it’s “okay” to bolt a 2.2L onto a stock GT? As you probably know, KB maintains a support forum on another site, and NO ONE there with a GT has done this. Yes, a few with BUILT GT’s have stepped up to 2.2L screws, but no one with stock internals has tried it. So where are these mythical pioneers who’ve gone where no man has gone before? You say it’s been done, so point me to one person – one single person – who has actually done this. I’d really like to hear his input. I know how much bigger a 2.2L is than a 1.7L. I can do the math. Now, let’s put that in perspective: if my 4.6L engine were 30% larger it would be a 6-liter. Get the picture? And a 1.7 is about “maxed out” at 9 psi? Don’t even go there. Furthermore, I believe the volume of air you need to pump into the motor to obtain a given boost level is all about combustion chamber volume, not how well your heads flow. As for compressor boost leakage at low compressor speeds, well that’s a documented phenomenon. Research it if you REALLY care to know what's up. T- [/QUOTE]
