I'm swapping in a gsr block to replace my b16 block for my setup, and wanted to build it a little before throwing it in. I would like to be around 300-350 whp in the car, and am wondering what I should do to the block to make sure it will be ok. Obviously the car will be getting tuned. I was thinking JE 9:1 pistons and eagle rods. And having the pistons matched to the block. Would that setup be fine or should I be changing some things/adding more parts?

 

For 300-350hp it should be fine. I would change stuff like water pump and oil pump while rebuilding. If you get it sleeved, it will be even better. Just make sure you get it tuned properly.

 

How big of a difference is sleeving going to make for that hp?

 

hey man. i made 326 @ 12 psi on stock internals.

i just bought JE pistons9:1 compression, eagle H bea, rods and a golden eagle block guard. im goin for 450-500 to the wheels. i know i can do it. so u shoudl too.

 

fu@ker! i only made 296hp @12 on stock internals!!! oh well, it was just a stock greddy kit with the blue box. by the way original poster, it did'nt last long like this. just pistons + rods should be fine. but with the other stuff like water pumps, and belts...be smart, if it was ment to ware out, replace it.

 

that setup you just bought is actually the exact setup i was thinking about so I guess I will be ok then.

A T3/T4 @ 15psi and you are there easy!

 

I tried to pm you back, but I guess since I am still a trial user I am not able to use that option.
