So I got a tremendous deal on a freshly rebuilt short block. Since I'm going turbo I figure this would be a good addition to my turbo project. However, the rebuild consist of a b16a2 rebuilt with the following internals CTR piston’s .25 over, OEM rods, OEM bearings, OEM water & oil pump and all OEM seals. Would this be a mistake to use CTR pistons going turbo? Not going to be pushing a lot of boost my goal is 300 hp maybe 350. I have a 60trim turbonetics with a .63 a/r. Currently have 560cc injectors might be going 1000cc but after doing research 560cc are good up till 100hp per cylinder. My cams are going to be 95 GSR cams. Any info and / or comments are very much appreciated. Thanks

If you need more information please feel free to ask.

 

You're still using internal components that can't take that amount of power, even if it is rebuilt. Using CTRs in a B16 don't help, either. You've got a great N/A setup there, throw some cams in it, and call it. Or sell it, and substitute this w/ another block to get that power.

 

So basicly I should ditch the deal and invest in some eagle rods, cp 9.5.1 pistons and sleeve the b16 and then call it the day.
