1600cc injectors
tuned on boost by gear on e85
skunk2 ultra series street intake manifold
skunk2 70mm tb
aem fpr

lmk if you guys have any suggestions or recommendations, thanks for your time!

 

Dont you think a GT35 and 1600cc injectors are overkill for 400hp?
If you want a little more than just boost a little more.
I dont even see a need for you to upgrade anything.

 

idk ive been hearing different things, i was told i need bigger injectors to run e85 thus the 1600s.. and i dont really wanna go much higher psi since im on a stock short block, thats why i was told to go with a gt35.. im not too turbo savvy so im just trying to get different perspectives, so pretty much what im trying to know is, is it possible to get 400hp on 12psi?

 

1600's is a bit high ..friend ran fic 1000's on e85 and didnt have any issues
400 on a stock b20 block ? and are you going with the garret gt35r .63 or .82 ?

 

You're already pushing it at 361whp on stock, cast pistons. For a DD, I'd dial it back some unless engine longevity is not a concern to you.

 

Go with a Garrett T3T4 60 trim .63 AR and some ID 1000cc injectors and a retune with more boost. You will get 400whp on 91-93 octane no problem as long as your tune is good and your motor can take it.

 

You'd be fine with 1000ccs on E85 with room to spare.

You are under the false pretense that low boost equals safety. It doesn't matter if you make 400hp with 12psi or 20psi, its not any safer.

As crvtectim said - you are already pushing the limits of a stock b20. Dont push your luck any further until you are ready to build it up.

 

Honestly I really appreciate all of your feedback, good to have experienced people give me advice! And muckman I know you're right, I was under that pretense but after seeing what happened to your motor at 5 psi I now understand what you mean, I'm really sorry what happened to your motor btw :/ On another note imma just take all of your advice and start building a gsr block, can you guys give me some tips on what parts I should be purchasing as far as the pistons and rods?

 

If you are interested I have a bare B18B1 block and matching crank I will sell. It is screaming for a build.
