I know this topic has been beat to death, there are 2 stickys on it! But i'd like some feedback on what everyone thought of my build, my plans, and goals. If I am wrong at any point please correct me as I am new to this.
First off I think we should start with the goals.
I want 200ish+ whp. This will be my daily and my job is seasonal, very feast and famin. But in the prime of the busy season I will be putting 1,000 miles on this a week. I also plan to hopefully do some auto x with this setup, mostly for fun. This is also my only car. Bottom line..... Needs to be reliable!
Now for the fun part, the build.
This is what I already have and am running till i piece together all the other parts.
B20B bottom end
b16 top end
chipped p28 (minor tune with chrome pro)
gsr head studs
skunk2 intake mani (pretty red to match my type r valve cover)
68mm tb
aem v2 cai
bpi v stack
I took it to a shop to get the conversion done and they kinda beat me on it. I told them arp studs but they cheaped out and put the gsr (charged me for arp tho), they argued against arp rob bolts blah blah. Oh, plus it was there for 2 months! So this is where I am at now. Lets just say I plan on doing all this work myself with some help from buddies.
What I plan to get, with prices. If I am off on anything or missing let me know!
RS itr replica 84 mm (right size?) pistons says cr will vary from 11.7 to 12 $320
crank case breather $200
ARP studs $150
ARP rob bolts $50
If I go with cams, what else do I need to upgrade? Just the springs?
Are girldes or block guards something I should be looking at?
So what do you guys think, are my goals within reason? Any thing i missed or advice?
thanks guys
