I have a CRX with a d16z6. It currently has J.E. Pistons(9.36:1 compressions), eagle rods, and ARP head studs. The turbo is a turbonetics To4E. All together i am looking to make about 300whp or a touch more.

I am in the process of replacing the bearings in the engine because my oil pump failed ~5000 miles after i put it all together the first time. Here is what I plan to do while i have it out ACT 12lb flywheel, clutch masters stage 4 clutch, ARP clutch and flywheel hardware, and a good crank and fresh bearings.

Later on down the road i do plan on picking up a bisimoto stage 2.4 turbo cam and some springs and retainers.

My biggest question is with what i have now would 300hp be a reasonable goal? Or what is a reasonable goal?

Next question is what bearings should i buy? When i put the engine together i used ACL race bearings but have read mixed reviews on them.

Lastly when i get the new oil pump should it be ported, polished, and shimmed or just leave it alone?

 

what turbo manifold are you using

 

oem bearings
oem waterpump
300 whp shouldnt be a problem

 

I am running a Stainless Cast manifold.

I will be running stock bearings and a stock oil pump.


Got the pan off today and it looks like im in the market for new rods.....
