Hey guys! So, the time has come for my first engine build. I'll be ordering parts next month and then assembly will begin. I'm looking for advice on a good internal setup that will work with what I already have turbo-wise/goals, etc. Would like to know ideally what brands, why, what compression/stoke, etc and why. This is a learning experience for me. Thank you!
Goals would be a relatively street-able 500-550whp and hopefully in the 450ish range for torque. I will be up front that I am NOT building another drag DSM. I want something that I can bring to the High Plains Raceway, misc autox events, and the canyons.
Current bolt-ons:
DNPerformance Exhaust Manifold
Slowboy Racing GT14 turbo (bolt-on DSM hotside, 35r comp wheel in a 30r housing to my knowledge, dual BB CHRA)
Tial 38mm EWG
Megan tubular o2
Open 3" downpipe
Punishment Racing FMIC
Forced Performance 4" intake
Speed Density
K&N 9" filter
Tial Q blow off valve
FIC 1450cc injectors
Fuelab AFPR
Fuelab 818 fuel filter
AEM 320 e85 fuel pump
(Hopefully soon) Calan catch can/AN lines to VC
Car will be tuned on DSMlink v3. If it's in the budget, I may also pick up a SMIM. Turbo doesn't really start to come alive until ~4900rpm on a stock motor which isn't too satisfying for what I'm looking for.
Faster spool would be nice, but I don't want to run an extremely high compression build. I'm too broke to wanna have to worry about it knocking all the time haha. Car will also be tuned on e85.
Thanks in advance!
