My low milage turbo Prep

Just get ARP's so you don't have to worry about it trust me I wish I would have never done metric blues

[sayed ali]

O-ringed block + stock hg and ARPs can handle more than you can think about, all day running ...

Arp.. Studs? Hmm now is it like the s50 wher when u replace the bolts might as well just pull te head? Or just call it good and replace with arp studs and tighten?

[edsel1134]

I vote pull the head. New head gasket timing belt and all that is always good

[edsel1134]

Looks to be easier then the s50 since it's SOHC.. And looks like I don't have to remove much just take in for resurface.. But my problem is I will pull the head and be like.. Hmmmmm s50 cam? Then ideas start flowing and about 4k later my 1500$ turbo build is totally fucked lol

why do you say this? not trying to start a debate thread in this one, just curious as i have metric blues.. you can PM if you so please

250 whp is honestly a cake walk for a forced induction m20. get a decent holset, run some delphi 42s, ms, headstuds and a mls and you can make 250 wheel with like 6-8lbs of boost. im running metric blues, have heard of 400hp strip guys running metric blues, its hit and miss. good cheap alternative but in effect is precisely that, 'cheap'.

Mls? Sorry acronyms bug me lol <3

Just a head gasket company.

[edsel1134]

Ah okay lol so far what I've decided on
Apr
Hg
Replace o fuel pump/filters
Turbo brand tbd?
Obx manifold??
Probably Lucas 42lb or if I can find chewer equvilant
Megasquirt
So far seem legit?

Cheaper&bull;

I liftedy my head with metric blues at 1bar and hydro locked my SETA. Of course I was a dumb ass and used a VR head gasket. Also I've heard first hand metric blues have slightly smaller threads and can strip the treads in the block. 42lb injectors or cheap and easy to get. I say before you do ANYTHING ELSE get a wide band sensor and get use to megasquirt.

The Hissing noise is coming from the driver side rear wheel near where the back seat is.. And only when car is running.. And today she started like a champ dunno.
From the looks of it the turbo, ecu, and manifolds are 3/4 of the price. Depeding on turbo and injectors
