I am going to be hopfully moving soon to goto college and I want a car that can run fine on the street and I won't have to much problems with. I don't need a huge amount of boost, I would be satisfied with 10psi probably. I am just concerned about the stability of my block because of its age and the wear and tear the turbo is putting on it. So what I am trying to find out is what I should do as far as building my block or buying a different block, or what not, just to get it to run safe and not having to be worried and to get it to run about 10psi. Any ideas?

 

IF tuned well with your system. I see no reason why it shouldn't run reliably for years. Just don't get nutz with "fiddling" with areas you might not know well, such as timing adjustment etc., and you should be fine.

 

Don't you think I should build the block a little bit?

 

one thing at a time, worry about getting it tuned first, then if you have money buy a shortblock and build it

 

LS, GSR, B20???

if tuned correctly you can make gobs of power on a stock block stock head.

thats what i plan on doing.

 

If you're just running 10 PSI and you have a good tune, then stock sleeves and internals should be fine. If you start detonating, then it will quickly die.

 

YOu need to change those home depot couplers, they will blow off easily!!!

lol, where can I pick up some "better" ones??? website link er somthing plz? thx

 

i have pretty much the same setup that you have and i bet that you would be satisfied with 8 lbs of boost or so on a street car that will make the tires spin even at that low of boost just my opinion

 

message flamenco-t he got some 4ply shiney style silicone couplers and reducers. Best prices on the internet, hands down..

 

You may max out those 440s if you plan on making upper 200s.

 

Hmm, I talked to people at shops and they think that b16 wont hold up. Hmm...

I used them with t-bolt clamps and they worked great.. If you do have one blow off then spray some hairspray on the pipe and put it back on..

 

Have u guys ever heard of the inside of pipes rustin the the rust flaking off and going into the engine as powder form?
