TYPE R TURBO
Ok guys im turboing my type r ive got a hks manifold, a garrett gt25 ball bearing turbo and a sperco liquid intercooler im looking for 250whp. as of now my motor is stock, what would it take to get that kinda power and keep it reliable? what do i need to get done? this car is for autocross that's why im using such a small turbo and only looking for 250whp. also my daily driver.

If anything, its quite the opposite!</TD></TR></TABLE>
The reason it would be a good idea to lower the compression is because it will be much safer to run more boost and easier to tune. I am guessing this is a daily driver on pump gas, so lower compression is your friend. You probably won't notice much low end difference anyways.

I'd concentrate on the tuning and managemen aspect and keep the compression for your AutoX experience. The on/off boost response would be a bit easier to navigate w/ the normal compression of the Type R. Just don't skimp on the tuning aspect, please.

It should not be a problem producing that kind of power with what you have, but your issue will be reliability. Like others before me replied, a good tune/tuner will be essential to reliable horsepower. If it were me and I were keeping the internals stock, I would opt for the thicker headgasket to drop the compression ratio a bit, just so you can A either run more boost, or B not have to worry about detonation as much. Good Luck
