Default Before I finish this project...

Boosted D16Y8, 7-9lbs boost, sc50 turbo, greddy bov, tial wg, 3" piping from the downpipe back, greddy boost controller, greddy turbo timer, spearco intercooler, walbro fp, fjo wb, skunk2 im, lovefab mani, 550cc injectors.

Should I look into a new headgasket or some arp head studs since this is going to be a boosted SOHC? I've heard and read of a lot of problems with head warping and do not want this **** to happen to me.

Also would perhaps a new radiator help out? I have plenty of room in my engine bay, no more A/C...so a larger slim radiator would fit.

Thank you.

Del Sol DOHC VTEC dual-core radiator would be a good upgrade, as well as ARP headstuds and an OEM headgasket. But I'd say wait till she blows.
