well i've decided i'm not going to be doing a swap. im going to keep the b16a2 thats in my eg right now and go from there. first off i want to start with a turbo. what would you guys recommend? i'm thinking of t3/t4. my goal is to lower the compression so the car is capable of 20 PSI. and my horsepower goals are 400+ WHP. so basically my question is which turbo do you think is right for my project? and what kind of prices should i be looking for? thanks

 

you have alot of research ahead of you

You are going to need pistons, rods, sleeves, a great turbo kit and great EMS

You dont need sleeves, but with a set of pistons and rods you'll be set as far as the motor goes.

 

trust me I know he doesnt need sleeves...... I ran stock sleeves for awhile also but I think its smarter to go ahead and do them while the motor is out and people are now doing sleeves for like ~850 shipped

I know I wish I would have done them the first time I built my motor...... but then again it all comes down to his cash flow and how much he can spend on everything

 

thanks guys. i've seen some guys running 35 PSI. how can there engine withstand that? is the key thing here runnign a extremely low compression ratio?

 

people running 35psi have more than likly had their blocks resleeved and have a good tuner... tunning is the key to making a motor last and people run 30+psi on 9.5 and higher compression

 

That's not hard to achieve, like everyone said. Pistons and rods. if you don't do the sleeves, be sure to put a block guard in. and deffinately be sure to have to block bored like .010 over to ensure that the cylinders and round and straight. Then get a good turbo kit.. (full-race is a good one) and a good fuel system and fuel managment. you'll be good to go... Good luck

 

for my first turbo i was thinking of t3/t4. i've been takkign to acouple guys and they said i could run 9 PSI on my b16 with all stock internals. now once i low ther CR would this turbo be able to perform over 450+ hp? or should i be looking into a different turbo?
