There are many builds out there. I want your opinions, especially if you had to do it again.
Goal: 300-350 hp with decent spool with a M20 from a 325is. I am willing to pull off the head, and change the cam, do a head job/arp head bolts/gasket etc, but would like to leave the bottom end stock.
ebay kits = garbage
I’m doing body work for the next 2-3 months, but want to start shopping early to try to snag good deals and to start piecing it together.
The most important parts I’m considering:
Which turbo and trim would be best for the described goals? Good one with an internal wastegate, or do I really need an external.
Fuel management: Thinking megasquirt.
Machine work: Cams? Porting? O-Ring vs just metal head gasket? Welding water jackets? What’s necessary and what’s not for my power levels.
A good exhaust manifold that has clearance. I already have headers, so adapters (may or may not work)
Obviously going to run a FMIC, injectors, pump, (probably keep the stock intake manifold)
If you know a good thread or link to a great build, or just tell me what you are running and what you would change. Obviously speed= money and it’s not hard to rattle off the best stuff, but if you could keep in mind my modest power goals and share a good combo that would be great.
