Finally got enough money to buy turbo kit and spend some time on the dyno.. Now my b16a3 is bone stock. What would YOU recommend doing engine-wise to help it hold with the t3 turbo im putting in..? I'd like to believe everything my shop tells me but who knos if theyre just tryin to murk as much $ outta me as possible

 

What type of power goals do you have?

 

250

 

250whp is cake, get it tuned by someone who knows what their doing and your good. What exact turbo are you using?

 

t3/t04b . Hopefully i get someone who DOES know what theyre doing , Boise isnt too big on imports<at least from what ive seen>

I think im gonna put Golden eagle sleeves, PnP, and whatver else i can afford.

 

u could make 250hp on a completely stock motor easily and it will last for quite a while with a good tune, but chances are u will want to turn up the boost later on, the question is how far do u wanna push it later on down the road? 300? 350? 400? 600?

golden eagle sleeves and a pnp is like going to a knife fight with a tank if your shooting for 250hp, save your money, if i were u, i would do a simple cp piston and eagle rod combo with stock sleeves, unless u are planning on pushing it past 450hp, then go ahead and sleeve it for piece of mind
