Default is this a good motor setup for fi?


sorry if i posted this in the wrong place, but i tried to post it in the fi forum but it wouldn't let me. i just wanted to make sure that i am covering all needed parts to make this a complete build and if anyone has suggestions and tips. i plan on boring and honing the block along with port and polishing the head. I will be installing a FMAX T03/T04 ball bearing turbo kit on the rebuilt motor and will be running about 15 to 20lbs of boost at the track and 10lb on the street

pistons: JE forged Pistons and ring set (turbo applic)
rods: crower (stainless steel)
valves: crower(stainless or titanium?)
valve springs and retainers: crower
cams: crower (turbo applic)
sleeves: darton
head gasket?
bearings?
rod bolts: arp

The crower rods are billet rods, not stainless steel.

Anyways, what type of horsepower goal are you shooting for? Boost pressure is a bit on the irrelevant side when choosing parts for a build.

sorry about that i did mean steel billet, and will have standard bore but making room for the sleeves i will need to bore it out. so why OEM, the pistons come with the rings. any suggestions on bearings, head gasket, or other needed parts. i would like to make about 350hp. any more suggestions?

Sorry to sound like an ***, but start searching. I've spent years getting the ideal build down to a science and I'm sure others have as well. No pain, no gain.
