So im in the process of my first turbo build and i need some help deciding what parts to use. Here's some background on the build

Block: B18b1
nitrided crank
eagle rods
81.5 Supertech pistons
block guard
gsr oil pump
block guard
Darton Sleeves

Head: B18b1
BC turbo cams
dual spring/titanium retainers
oversized intake valves
port and polish
cometic head gasket


Parts i decided im using:
Skunk2 intake and TB
Precision 5431 CEA Billet
ID 1000cc injectors or precision 1000cc
AEM fuel rail
upgraded fuel pump

What are your guys thoughts on this build? Do you think i should get the precision turbo or try something else? The precision is right in my price range. Also im undecided on the exhaust manifold. I don't even know where to start I want to be right in the 400hp range running on e85. Any help will be appreciated!

 

Block guard is trash. Get rid of it. And you definitely don't need it with a sleeved block

 

All b series oil pumps are the same from 96+
No block guard and your build looks nice

 

Why no block guard? Also can anyone help me decide what manifold to use? im looking to spend $400-$500

 

for that price range look for something used, I'd stay away from a topmount with that power level as well

 

So i think ive decided what im going to get..

Precision 5431e T3 4 bolt .63 A/R
BWR B Series T3 Ramhorn 44mm
BWR B Series downpipe w/precision flange
Skunk2 Pro series intake
Skunk2 Pro series 68mm TB

What do you guys think? im also gonna be looking for some used manifolds to bring the price down a little bit

 

Because you have a sleeved motor, the sleeves are much stronger than the stock sleeves (they are damn near bulletproof, literally) and don't need any extra suppott and since the sleeves are much thicker than stock the blockguard wouldn't even fit.. all it would do on your motor is cause coolant flow/overheating issues

YOU DON'T NEED IT.... GET RID OF IT

 

There's a person in the market place selling a bnib spoolin performance log mani dp and dt . He wants a little more then your budget though
