T3/T4 B16 turbo setup, need help!
Hello,
Sorry for the long text, but I realy need help from the "experts"...
I'm from Portugal and, finally starting to build my project (engine performance for a beginning). My EG6 B16A2 (for now) turbo.
I am searching for the best choice for me for about a year and half.
Last summer I bought (I already know what you guys thing about) SSAutochrome T3/T04E tsunami turbo kit.
I intend to build an "almost" race engine.
I know also that if I want that I shouldn't choose that kit, but for the price, it was a beginning point. In the future I intend to replace the turbo manifold for ones like "Full Race" or something like that. The turbo for a real Garrett one. And the waste gate and dump valve for HKS or Greedy. But that is for the future.
My purpose is for you guys, to tell me waht I should do, and not do.
My goal (if it's possible) is to have the car ready by the end of the first week of June.
List of the stuff that I already have in my possession:
XSPower equal lenght tubular turbo manifold - with custom support welded...
XSPower T3/T04E turbo
XSPower turbo oil lines
XSPower 38mm wastegate
XSPower dump valve
XSPower FMIC 680mm X 460mm X 180mm
XSPower charge pipes xxxinch
XSPower crank, alternator, stearing pump light weight pulleys
Golden Eagle Vacuum manyfold
Custom 2,5inch downpipe and exhaust, no catalytic.
JE Pistons ; 81,50 bore ; 9:1 ; with rings, wrisp pins and pin locks
Eagle H Beam rods
Blox FMU
Blox check valve
ARP head studs
Walbro 255Lph Inline fuel pump
RC 550cc injectors
Mugen radiator cap
Mugen thermo stat
Mugen thermo switch
List of stuff to buy, maybe next week:
Golden Eagle block guard
Autometer Ultra-Lite boost, oil temp, oil pressure gauges and triple gauge pod
Some nipples needed to connect the gauges sensors
custom oil cooler
(revise water radiator)
Honda OEM stock head gasket and main bearings kit
(gift of a friend) used set of B16A2 dual intake valve springs
Some manual boost controller
I was thinking to add the stock B16A2 dual intake valves at the exhaust side also.
I am also using a B18C4 intake and exhaust cam shafts. They are a bit more open and longer than B16A2. Somewhere in the middle of B16A2 and B18C5.
What do you think about the springs and cams?
Do you think that the stock valves can handle the power?
Which main bearings do you recommend do use? I was thinking on stock Honda main bearings.
Which spark plugs do you recommend?
I think now, I don't need to use the FMU and check valve. The guy that will tune my car told me that. Is that true?
The block is about to going to the machine shop to bore, and the head to replace the valve guides and seals, maybe this week.
Please help me.
Many thanks,
Bruno Melo
