Ok i am defently will be doing a 185 swap soon.
But i would like to know ways to improve this engine for more power so far ive came up with this AMF to MAP sensor conversion. Upgrade turbo with a ct20b to ct26 or a t3/t4 FMIC instead of the TMIC 3" down pipe increase boost upgrade fuel pump that what ive came up with so far. Now i really want to replace the internals with better ones' Does any one have any more options of how todo this? like where to get better pistion,rod's and etc.. Also if any one has more ways to improve this engine please share Thanks |

Why don't you go with the stock CT26 for now?
You can boost up to 15 psi which is a lot of boost. If you are going to change internals...you might as well go with a bigger turbo so you can boost in the 20+ and be able to reach 400+hp. But you are going to need a lot of tuning. Its up to you though. The setup you want is going to cost you an arm and a leg. Honestly I would just buy the GT4 on ebay...it would almost cost the same. Instead of FMIC maybe go with the ST205 Water to Air intercooler, unless you want to go 400+ hp. |
