turbo beams??, turbo beams Options

[paul52]

hi
ive been reading a lot of this...i recently own a beams rep top engine for my AT180
the engine is totally swaped..finally
heres my doubt...i want to turbo my beams...i know its a high compression engine...so it need low compression pistons
but ..does anyone know who can make me some forged pistons? what else should i need besides that? vvti have to be removed?
from what ive read i know there are 2 succesfull turbo-beams..the hks and..a guy i think hes from uk thought and altezza-black top and 3sgte pistons wont fit...=( any ideas?
does anyone have some info about this project?
thanks in advance
paul =)

turbo high comp beams=good spool good off boost performance, cant up the boost any more then 7 or so psi for fear of blowing holes in pistons and possibly fncking rods.

turbo low comp beams=less responce, little less power off boost, but can up the boost to very high numbers (like 20 psi and more for 8.5:1 comp) and pretty well endless in its possibilities.


dont worry about going fmic because the ammount of "lag" or "loss of responce" so to speak is so little you cant really tell.

at the end of the day though people stop using vvti in heavily modified 1 and 2jz's and also with nissans with their versions of the same technology (s14 and onwards silvias/200sx) for example and of course rb25 and 26. Because it causes tuning issues and in modified cars the need for the variable cam timing becomes less needed as we are more concerned with power and not so much driveability (note this is a generalisation and doesnt relate to all modified car owners so no one bitch about that statement please)

So when you pushing big numbers and not using your vvti anymore all your expensive beams is is a 3sge with slightly more aggressive cams and a shiny red rocker cover.
