Hello All
Looking for some advice as i start to collect stuff for a turbo engine build up.
The car will be a reliable 20k a year street hack. All suspension mods have already been done and well set up with big brakes /tyres.
Here is what I'm thinking?
Turbo = Garrett = GT2554R
Inlet manifold standard
Throttle body - Bored out standard - Tornado system already have.
ECU - Standard - Mapped - Tornado system
Exhaust manifold - https://gizfab.com - Never used but look good/full system.
Pistons - ???? advice ??
Rod - ???? advice ??
Cams - ??? advice ??
Head - Standard (worth a port job??)
Radiator - I need a new one so any thoughts. Currently, have AC fitted but happy to lose it.
Intercooler - Thinking a small charge cooler but open to suggestions
Injectors - K12 already fitted
Airbox filter - have a Matt H kit fitted will modify to fit
Block - Now I'm told an automatic block is stronger advice??. Want to build a completely new engine so the car is not off the road for long.
Fueling - Standard
Clutch upgraded
Flywheel 1.0
Gearbox 5 speed - I love the higher ratio. The gearbox seem to last well if you look after them.
Any advice would be great.
