Still debugging a few things after the swap, but still plannin on body work next week, and then replacing the clutch / few other things.

Twin charge it!! Ive never seen that but always thought designed properly if has a ton of potential. Using the SC for more lowend boost and the turbo screaming on the higher rpm band.

First, you have to have a turbo in the first place to put in a bigger turbo, and secondly, I wouldnt touch the engine yet you havent even finished it.

I'm not trying to be pessimist but it's gonna be hard to keep the twin charge setup cool. I don't think that setup is very efficient. We've done it on a couple civics, it just doesn't produce as much power is one big efficient turbo will. So, I voted for one bigger turbo, which will bring you above 300 whp.

make sure you can get it running 100% before anything, then id say do simple things liek a bov, a nnice down pipe, full exhaust if not done. Then upgrade other parts of your car, let it break in a biut more and get use to it before any crazy engine mods.

 for superchargers. Your gorgeous new engine deserves better than that. Keep those IATs down!
-------------------- 1995 Celica ST - Riceball grocery getter. I saved her from Neons, 19" rims and TVs. All-stock save a weld-on muffler (does that count?) and V-AFC.
1991 CRX - The hobby car. I say that because I can never seem to get it completely together! |
