new stuff on the way.

[bjmauck]

I'm going from a big 16g turbo to a PTE SCM61/CompTurbo 50 trim hybrid. I'm also going to remove the head, headstud, port and polish the head new gaskets and valve stem seals, 1g t body, port match intake, and port match the gasket with head and intake manifold and bc valve springs and retainers. Also gonna put the Polly mounts in while down. I'm going with a stock replacement on the head gasket, figure around 25 psi will be all I'm gonna be able to run on the stock bottom end. What do you guys think? The car is not a dd weekend and some 1/4 mile. Would like to get in the 11s.

use a good cometic gasket and get a good torque wrench other than that it sounds good

Worried about a mls gasket leaking. I'm not planning on machining the head or block. Read s lot of posts about leaking after using them.

The stock gasket is more than sufficient. Planning on doing any exhaust porting? I keep reading a lot of posts where no one mentions it.

Stock head gasket with studs will be fine. How much does the PTE SCM61/CompTurbo 50 trim flow?

 

[Mr PopUps]

Well if its anything like my 50 trim Garrett, 660cfm.

 

[bjmauck]

I'm porting the exhaust side of the head.

Not sure on the flow but I know more than my 16g!

I would get arp head studs. 25 psi seems high for a stock bottom. Good luck with the build,

 

[bjmauck]

Already got the arp studs. How much boost would you say for a stock bottom end?

 

[slidesidwayz]

Ive heard mixed things about the bc springs and valves. Im interested to hear how they run for you..

Also, how did the b16g run?

I would say that it all depends on the tune. What are you tuning with?

 

[bjmauck]

Ecu flash. The 16g ran good pulls strong.

Leave the head alone, i was talking about the ex-man/turbine/O2 housing.
