Hey there. So I already posted a thread on here asking about if port and polish is worth it. Got my answer. And I figured since I have never dealt with a boosting a car, I need all the advice I can get.
Money isn't the biggest issue, (planning about 1500 on the head, and another 1-2k on the turbo set up? sounds reasonable?) since this build will be slow and I can save money pretty easily. I know what I will be doing with the engine, but as far as the turbo goes, i just have a general idea of what I want.
(fyi its going in a 87 vert)
So, for the engine, I've planned to have
IE heavy duty rocker arms,
Oversized eccentrics
Stainless steel valves
Double Valve Springs
APR head struts
Performance Head Gasket ( haven't decided on which)
MS2
and either a IE272 camshaft, ( or was also suggested a z45 282 cam, but seemed like a bit overkill for me)
and of course a 2.7 block with super eta pistons and rods
So thats what I have for the engine. now as far as the turbo set up goes, I don't have much clue of what to get.
I dont know turbo's whatsoever. All I know is I don't want to run much boost. Most likely no more then 18psi and hp goals are around 350-400.
Im willing to go for less power if it means more reliable since this will be my dd.
So Im open to all the wisdom I can get.
Thanks Tim
