Re: b18a1 build in progress
i dont think 6k is enough to be honest, you have to remember a little thing called a transmission that will need to be serviced as well and axles to go with it

Re: b18a1 build in progress
I wouldn't run a 6262 or precision anything, they've been having problems with compressor wheel flex at high boost pressures, the hub twists and puts the blades into the compressor housing, destroying the turbo... and whenever someone sends in a unit like that precision always says oil contamination so the warranty is void, etc,
Stay far away from precision, pick a genuine Garrett based unit or have TheShodan build one for you.
Besides precision refuses to ever have compressor maps made for their turbos, they said it was a waste of money, when compressor maps are the proper way to size a turbo,,, you can just advertise that a turbo will support XXX HP without having any way to show bow it flows at what pressure level/air flow,
Stick with a reputable company like Garrett or like I said, TheShodan can make you anything you want... with an amazing warranty and customer support.
But it sounds like you're just pipe dreaming and don't really know what it takes to make 600hp and pug it to the ground, you'll need a good suspension setup as well as brakes and a good set of tires
And stay away from anything china/eBay

Most of the units do well, however the ones that fail, that's what we've noticed. Maybe it was only an issue with the earlier units that somehow are still being sold from sitting on a shelf somewhere
And yes sleeving is expensive... what were you expecting?

OP
Ensure the thickness of those cam gears to stock cam gears. If they are thicker, which in most cases they are, then you'll need to get a slightly longer cam bolts. Failure can case the stock bolt to snap because of the size difference.

lol That valve cover is silly looking. I would just run stock pulleys.
Your definitely gonna need bigger cams also. Crower (not Brian Crower) 404s are what I run.
