Alright I picked an engine/turbo set-up. yay or nay

[Kevin TSI]

Alright I have decided to go with a 2.3 stroker with scat rods and wiseco pistons. Possible a cryo treatment. For a head I will be using crower springs, Ti retainers, HKS 272 cams, 3g lifters, and some aftermarket rockers. JMF intake manifold, 2.5" IC piping with a 30x11x3 intercooler and type s BOV, For the turbo I will be going with this GT30R bolt on from slowboy. http://www.slowboyracing.com/more.php?id=2397& Ported EVO III manifold and 3" turbo back exhaust with electric cut out at front wheel. 38mm wastegate on maifold with dump tube. 1000cc injectors? GM 3" MAFT and a 4" intake pipe off the turbo. Copper headgasket and exhaust manifold gasket, all ARP studs. No AC and most likely no power steering. I have no idea what kinds of boost levels I would be able to run with this thing though.


Any problems you see or anything you would like to point out. Thanks again for all the help guys.

Clutch and Tranny

[Kevin TSI]

DSM link for sure.

As for the clutch i'm looking at the ACT 2600's and 2900's. Which do you think would be better. With a fidanza aluminum flywheel.

Are mid 11's possible on this set up. I don't mean to bench race I just want to make sure my goals are in reach.

Tranny will be some shep tranny. Suggestions on which one?

[Kevin TSI]

The short block will be from ffwd and I need to know if Ross or Wiseco pistons would be better and which compression ratio I should use. Remember its a 2.3l.

[Kevin TSI]

Would you guys change any of this set-up?

Talk to Darrel at FFWD, he is a pretty straight forward guy and will give you his unbiased oppinion. I realize he could be biased, but I have had excellent luck talking to him.
