planing a turbo setup: 2.0L resleeved 1.8L block
ok first of all I am big n00b in the FI induction forum. I tried searching for about an hour and found it difficult to find the information i am looking for. I am planning on buying a GSR block that is resleeved to 2.0L and never used. I would like to build this motor to run a large amount of boost. I would apriciate any links to articles or insightfull information I can read in helping me choose: Which compression ratio to run (obviously after market pistons and rods), which size and make turbo charger (rebuilt junkyard or new aftermarket), which tuneing device? hondata? injector sizes? which intercooler? I have a lot to learn and would like to try and keep the funds to this project minimal (ie. using junkyard parts when posible) thanks for the advice. I am definetly open to constructive criticism and ideas.

Whats your budget??? How much boost do you wanna run?? The setup you are looking to build is a expensive setup....I'm using hondata right how and it works great.No matter what in the end you will be spending near the 10,000 dollar mark assuming you get everything brand spankin new.

It would be easier if you gave us ideas on:
what your budget is
what kind of power you desire
what times you would like to run
what pump gas will you be using
how is it going to be tuned
etc.
But there is always tried and true for the bottom end. Any combination of forged pistons and a nice set of rods will help you get started.
Compression ratio is best beween 9.5 and 10:1 IMO. But then again you will need to factor in turbo sizing and what kind of boost levels you will be running.
