Default B20 Missing Link

I am building a B20 vtec with a B16 head. I need to know if I will need a Missing Link and would I also need a 3 bar map sensor? I don't know much about how to boost cars and such and I am getting told mixed stories of what I will need. Just trying to figure out what I need. Please let me know in detail if you can. I plan on running a .60mm on 12 to 14 pounds. This is what is going in my car. Thanks for the help you guys!

Golden Eagle Block Guard
eagle rods
cp 9:1 pistons
arp main and rod bolts
golden eagle vtec kit with head gasket

Ditch the missing link and get the 3bar MAP sensor.

Block guard has to go
Just do a search about it and you'll see why

so true

things you dont want

the blockguard
under drive pulleys
missing link

things you dont need
arp main bolts
arp rod bolts, the ones that are supplied with the rods are good
block girdle
Eagle crank unless you dont have a stock ls crank

I have everything already for it just missing intercooler and piping and the tune. Thanks fore the help you guys. I did my research on the block guard thing and have come to find that it's all in the tune. Get a good reputable tuner and do the setup right the first time. Thanks again though guys!

That has nothing to do with the blockgaurd your getting that confused with cracking a sleeve. Blockgaurds are worthless, a good tune won't make it any better.

the missing link is **** and rendered moot when you have "proper" fuel management

The lightweight pulleys are a really good and cheap way to insure a quick and short life for your motor... you'll spin a rod in no time with an undampened crank pulley.
You can run the alternator pulley without any worries but you'll need to measure for the length of the belt

when using ARP main bolts you have to have the crank journals align honed since the extra clamping force from the ARP bolts can throw the journals out of round and you aren't making enough power to warrant them anyways

AEM intake???? for what? any existing intake you have will be replaced by charge/intercooler piping (whatever you want to call it, it has many names)

The blockguard is pointless... the only thing they successfully do on a regular basis is throw cylinders out of round and restrict coolant flow causing overheating issues. and once you get one in good luck getting it out

Eagle rods already come with ARP bolts

ITR valvecover serves no different purpose than any other vtec valvecover..

The Golden Eagle crank is pointless.. again you arent making enough power to warrant a billet crank. its just a waste of money

What turbo manifold are you running? a 38mm wastegate might not be big enough for stable boost control.

12-14psi doesnt mean a damn thing... what kind of power do you want?

Cold hard cash that he hasn't even talked to a tuner.

You forget about his buddy that told him about the missing link. What do you mean that he's not a real tuner?
