Hi, this is stock block pinto or it has cosworth pistons and rosd?

[@unigroupengineering]

Hi. I think this one was a pinto block with aftermarket forged pistons and rods.

[@jpardo3955]

@@unigroupengineering Am ok, I'm making a pinto turbo in a Ford Sierra but with stock block. I will try to 0,7-0,8 bar of boost with megasquirt ecu, good intercooler and knock sensor. Did you see some knocking with that boost? Thank you so much!

[@unigroupengineering]

@@jpardo3955 That's quite sensible boost, hence typically I would not expect problems with knock with good tuning. What compression ratio and fuel octane do you have?

[@jpardo3955]

@@unigroupengineering Stock pinto efi compression ratio its 9,2:1 , maybe with 2mm cometic head gasket will be 8,9 or 9:1 and I want to try with regular gas 95ron.

[@unigroupengineering]

@@jpardo3955 That should work well. Suggest starting around 20deg timing for 0.8bar boost, adjust as needed.
