I'm having trouble deciding on wat to do with my engine. I wanna keep the stock H23 and turbo it and bore it over with high kompression pistons in it, along with other stuff, or swappin it with a H22. but they kant really handle more than 8 psi with a turbo. so anybody have any suggestions on which engine to put in it, and the performance parts to gain around 400 HP

I would say put a supercharger on it also to help spool the GT6041. Or you could just put a 300 dry shot of NOS on it and call it a day.
Do you realize how much is wrong with what you posted? You should probably do a little bit more research about forced induction before trying to turbo your car. I suggest reading the FAQs at the top of the page and maybe read a few threads in the forced induction forum before trying anything.

 

yeah, those people putting down 600whp and stuff don't go past 8PSI. lol..

K does NOT = C

the truth is that if you're having "trouble" deciding what you want to do to achieve a goal in terms of power, chances are you don't know what it takes to reach the goal. Did you not factor in different sizes of turbos, what building a motor is, and what the advantages of having high and low compression is?

as mentioned, you have to do a LOT more homework before you start this project..

Are you over 16? It's what, not wat. There's no K in compression. There is no word 'kant'.

High compression with forced induction (a turbo) is stupid. Learn how engines work to find out why. Try the forced induction forum FAQs, howstuffworks.com, google.com, etc.

Do you know why they supposedly can't handle more than 8 psi? No you probably don't otherwise you might know that using high compression pistons will mean aftermarket forged pistons and thus no 8 psi weakness.

RESEARCH.

 

Are you over 16?


No, I'm [freak]in 22 and in the Marine Corps and currently deployed to Iraq, so i dont got [freak]in time to do research. like you all sittin at home bein [freak]in lazy.

 

I have to agree with them. I understand that your in the Marines and stuff but then i would wait until you have time to research the last thing you want is a blow motor but, i will try to help. A good compression ratio for your pistons is around 9:1 for forced induction applications. Yes the h23 block is a little stronger becasue of the h22 ringlands but if you want 400 hp you should be rebuilding your block anyway Meaning sleeving it forged pistons rods bearings etc..This is just one part of it. It takes alot of time and research to properly put together a good build

Nope, I'm not 16 either. Why would you think that I am 16?

That's great that you're in the Marines, my Dad and sister are Marines. I would strongly suggest you don't worry about complicated engine builds while you are stationed somewhere...wait until you have the time to do the research and do it right.

WAT? x 2

You're saying the H22 has weaker ringlands? I'm pretty sure the H23's are just as weak.

boom!!!!

 

take a look at the FMAX(now Turbonetics) turbo kits. They are somewhat foolproof. They come with a moderate street turbo and ignition retard box. The ignition box takes out like 1 degree of timing for every # of boost or something along those lines. Its really user friendly in that respect. Good luck marine!!!
