But weh de rass,so wait. You telling me you building this beast to just make 300-350whp?

ALL JOKES ASIDE, that motor will hold 700whp+ <~~ and that rating is me being veryyyy safee!

for 300-350whp you could havee made that on a Bone Stock K20a2 with a nice kit.

I hope ya have reallll money! Because you ent even get to the real expansive part of the Build. But pat yourself on de back , coz you doing it RIGHT!!!!!!!

.........
If i can add some sugestions.
~get 1000cc injectors ( if ya feel they too big , your tuner can always downtune them for daily driving. And it leaves room if you want to make more power.So you doh have to waste $$ on another set of injectors)
~a T67,GT3076,BW s350 or a SC61 they are all GREAT turbos to run on a set up like this ( it not too big and it not too small, it go be nice and responsive, and make plenty power)
~ i think you setting yourself short , that motor will laugh at 350whp. you can make about 450whp on pump gas and be veryyy reliable.
~If you are going to make the power, please doh cheap out on suspension and brakes, coz it doh make scense to build something fast if it cya stop or handle. ( but from looking at what i see already , you gonan do de right thing )

that being said, i done !!

<~ in for Results!!!

GREAT Build so far.

Hi,

Again I must say thanks for the advice.

I must say that funds are beginning to run low so for now the engine will have to run this smaller turbo. Because its trinidad and I don't have the experience of some of the good US tuners (like Tony, Mase and Evans) I might have to do this tune myself from research and trial.

I would definitely get bigger injectors BOSCH 1000cc saturated later on and one of these days if I win the lotto I will get the Full Race or Peakboost Kits.

In the meantime, my very conservative aim was 350-400whp until some cash comes my way and some confidence in tuning

I hope ya have reallll money! Because you ent even get to the real expensive part of the Build. But pat yourself on de back , coz you doing it RIGHT!!!!!!!

What do u mean by the bolded bit.
Is it the turbo kit or the tuning???????????

Many thanks for the suggestions and comments

By the way your car looks great

Thomas

~cooler and pipeing
~gate
~turbo
~manifold
~downpipe
~gaskets and hardware
~fuel pump and injectors
~couplers and clamps
~fuel pressure reg
and all the misc stuff needed when doing a swap..

by the way great clutch you chose.

Its like building a house

- the frame work went up quickly
- but the fine details taking time

routing neatly the electrical wires, liquid electrical tape and shrink tubing

& welding

What plugs do you guys suggest and what gapping?
