As you can guess from the title I'm building up a B18A for turbo. Right now it's in the stages of getting ready for a P&P. I plan on just doing a mild P&P (well acutally my g/f's dad is doing it) along w/ a 3 angle valve job. He does know what he's doing. He did his own head for his 67 camaro and is the top mech. engineer at his work (he does machining for a living).

What I wanna know is how much material is reasonable to be taken off for good flow and reliability since this will be a turbo motor. Also, what manifolds should I use since everything will be opened up for more air flow? (intake,exhaust, head) I'm thinking about using crower turbo cams w/ matching spring/ retainer kit and keeping the stock valves. Is this doable?

The turbo I'm going to use will be a spare T3/T4 I have laying around my garage.

My overall hopes for this are it putting out around 350hp on pump gas and a daily driver. It's my first motor build up so I'm taking everything slow and doing as much research as I can.

It will have dished pistons to handle more boost. Um, rods I might keep stock I'm not really sure right now. I want it to handle up to 12-15psi. This is something I plan on having finished the way I want it in about 2-3 years (that includes having it in a car and running) Right now I'm just concentrating on building the motor.

Any advice, tips, etc welcome. I appreciate it. No flames please. Thanks

 

I'm not sure about porting but for the rods u should have them shotpenned and used some ARP rod bolts.

 

yeah do some ******* research.
