for those of you that dont know me i drove a low 14 b16 wagon that i lost due to a fire.

so... im pickin up a b16 turbo next month. heres a run down:
b16a2
type r manifold
550 injectors
wiseco 9.1 compression pistons
fuel rail and regulator
tuned on hondata
a.c.t. stage 2 clutch
turbonetics t3/t4 60mm trim
si tranny
....so pretty much a fairly stock b16. 24k on rebuild and 24k on "new" turbo.

my question is is 5k to much? i plan on getting this motor but im fairly new to just cars in general. i had my b16 for a year and i learned a good bit about b16s and i know barely anything about turbosetups. anyone have any advice for turbo care?

and let me know if this post is in the wrong place. thanks

 

fairly stock excluding the turbo (obviously)

 

run premium gas and synthetic oil's

 

definitely. i figured synthetic. thanks for the tip. what about cooling issues? turbos have alot of cooling issues or no?

 

Ever find out what caused the blaze?

 

nope... fire marshal never even called back. so i just went ahead and started pullin the block. i just need to take a lift out there.

 

anyone got opinions on oil coolers? specifically a greddy oil cooler

 

you think it would be worth it to get it tanked? im worried about the casting being warped and wastin my money
