going for final tune.... suggestions?
Currently have about 100 miles left on the break-in period on my b18c1 turbo and about to bring it for the final tune and turn up the turbo... still deciding how far i want to push it... i want to get as much power out of it but without great risk of blowing it up... heres the internals,
-stock sleeves
-Hasport Mounts
-CP Pistons 81.5
-Manley rods
-ACL bearings
-ARP main and head studs
-Supertech valves, springs, retainers, guides, seals
-Supertech block gaurd
-Clutchmasters 6 puck stage 4
-Aeromotive 340 fuel pump
-AEM fuel rail
-AEM fuel pressure regulator
-ID725 injectors
-Skunk 2 pro intake mani
-Skunk 2 70mm alpha throttle body
-Precision6262 Turbo
-Mishimoto G Line 24.5" x 11.75" x 3" intercooler
-HKS BOV
-OEM gaskets, oil pump, water pump
-Moroso 5.5 qt oil pan
-stock crank, cams
-accel coil
-premium pump gas (no e85 here)
How much should i shoot for and what psi? In your opinions...

Id shoot for 280-300 whp. Thats more than enough for the streets. Thats a big turbo though. And why the block guard?

Re: going for final tune.... suggestions?
It was recommended by my machine shop as an alternative to sleeving, i wanted to get as much horsepower as i could witbout sleeving... all internals are forged, c.r. is about 9.5:1.... sorry, forgot to add that in the original post...

That is a huge turbo so I don't see a problem getting 400-450 out of it. Friend got his car tuned at Locash racing here in Phoenix and made 470 on 91 and a .50? trim and a tiny intercooler it was sleeved though.
Also, we built the motor idled it made sure it didn't leak and got it broken-in and tuned on the dyno. Took it home changed the oil and beat the hell out of it. Good luck

That looks like a pretty solid setup. Stock sleeves is your limiting factor. Go for 500whp on pump gas if you have a good tuner then you can alway turn down the boost to 350-400whp range for the street.

What he said ^^. I would like to emphasize his call-out of a GOOD tuner. I would use race gas at those numbers though.

Yes agreed. I would not recommend daily driving it at 500whp on pump gas with stock sleeves. Race gas is best for this power level especially with stock sleeves. 350-400whp on pump should be no problem daily on your setup.

Could have done without these parts:
Moroso oil pan
+ Arp main studs included the required line hone(make sure you clearanced the oil pump)
+ accel coil
+ Blockguard
= Sleeves
