Compression gauge read 200 PSI in all four pistons. I've done compression checks in the past that resulted in lower numbers, but I don't think the engine was warm enough during the previous tests.

When I did it today, the engine was at operating temperature. I think this is why my compression yeilded higher numbers today vs. previous tests. I'm pretty confident my block is going to hold up to the boost now.

The jist of the set up will be:

JDM GSR block
CTR Intake Cam
GT30R
S300
880CC injectors
Skunk2 IM
Tial 38mm WG
7-10 PSI of boost

I'm thinking with a good tune it should be pretty reliable. I will be driving the car about 4-5 times a week.

I just have a few more parts to accumulate before starting the build.

 

Nice, always refreshing when you pull up good compression numbers. Any ideas on what other things will be included in your setup ?

 

HKS SSQ (new version)
Slim Fan
3 inch Down Pipe with dump tube routed back into the down pipe, 3 inch piping all the way back,
18" 3 inch diameter resonator
80mm Apexi WS universal turbo muffler
Thermal Solutions Bar and Plate Intercooler
2.5 Inch Intercooler Piping
Walbro 255
70MM throttle body
Blox Exhaust manifold
Mfactory Catch Can

turbo is a GT3076 with a .63 exhaust with a 5 bolt discharge

I'm hoping for around 280-320whp with a very responsive boost curve
