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

Are you sure its not that "expensive"? Stand alone and internals itself can cost you up to $8000+. Well if you think its not expensive you must have a lot of money...damn rich bastards..hehe..jkjk

Anyways if you wanted to go 25+ boost then why are you even considering the CT20B or T3/T4, those won't achieve your goal...you have to go with something bigger.

For the 185 you will have to change internals because it can't handle 25psi, but I think the ST205 can possibly handle close to that.

AWD isn't impossible, but it has not been very succesful. There has been a lot of alignment or frame issues that make the AWD hard to handle, dettered from high speeds, and not reliable.

For AWD you can get a rear clip and front clip from the ST205 anyways and use the chassis on that and fit it onto your chassis, which is hard.

Nothing is impossible if you have money, thats what everyone on the forum says, but if you have the money for everything post pics on your progress.

the t3/t4 would be a better choice. becuase and they can handel up to 30 psi easily.

i'm just not sure which one i would be better off with the st205 or 185, 185 is cheaper and more common, While the 205 is more expsenive a lil harder to find . It would be nice to build up a 205 though.

Only the WRC has the Anti-lag system...as far as i know.
Also, the ST185 internals have been known to handle 25 but for how long, im not sure.

25lbs on what turbo? 25lbs means absolutely nothing because you dont even know what turbo you want. 25 on one turbo can be 20 on another. The larger the turbo, the lower the pressure.

^^ is right about turbo's.
