sorry if i posted this in the wrong place, but i tried to post it in the fi forum but it wouldn't let me. i just wanted to make sure that i am covering all needed parts to make this a complete build and if anyone has suggestions and tips. i plan on boring and honing the block along with port and polishing the head. I will be installing a FMAX T03/T04 ball bearing turbo kit on the rebuilt motor and will be running about 15 to 20lbs of boost at the track and 10lb on the street

pistons: JE forged Pistons and ring set (turbo applic)
rods: crower (stainless steel)
valves: crower(stainless or titanium?)
valve springs and retainers: crower
cams: crower (turbo applic)
sleeves: darton
head gasket?
bearings?
rod bolts: arp

 

anyone?

 

what bore?

use OEM bearings

 

The crower rods are billet rods, not stainless steel.

Anyways, what type of horsepower goal are you shooting for? Boost pressure is a bit on the irrelevant side when choosing parts for a build.

 

sorry about that i did mean steel billet, and will have standard bore but making room for the sleeves i will need to bore it out. so why OEM, the pistons come with the rings. any suggestions on bearings, head gasket, or other needed parts. i would like to make about 350hp. any more suggestions?

 

does cometic make a good gasket?

uhhh...darton sleeves are not liners...you cut out the entire oem sleeve and replace it.

 

Sorry to sound like an ***, but start searching. I've spent years getting the ideal build down to a science and I'm sure others have as well. No pain, no gain.

 

cometic does make a good gasket, oem is just as good

 

ditch the mf2 that comes with the kit and get some real fuel management

 

Use OEM honda bearings. Just my 2 cents!

 

thanks for the help i'm new to the game of boosting, it's kind of weird i'm an aircraft mechanic and still know more about planes than i'll ever know about cars. thanks again.
