Holset turbos FTW - Thats what I would go with if I was you.

well fwiw lol, i did go to college for automotive technology, and i am capable of and will be building this next engine, unless i find a short block thats put together like i like and isnt horrible on the price...

but yeah, ill def. check out and take into consideration that slowboy crank you mentioned

but i basically want an internal setup without any near limits, one that i can build on and build on and never really have to worry if the block will hold you know

but that was really informative thanks a lot, so coming out of that i take it you reccomend the 2.2 if i can afford it, but otherwise the 2.3? on a 4g63...

and also, does anyone know about the whole using a 1g block instead of a 2g?

[Thor06]

Yes I'd get the 2.2 if you can afford it, but otherwise I'd recommend a 2.0. Unless you are running a 35R sized turbo or bigger I think displacement changes are rediculous, but that might just be a personal preference. As a matter of fact, I am looking forward to a bigger turbo partly because it will take longer to spool. I found it irritating as hell to have the turbo spooling during daily driving with the 16g, so a later boost threshold is going to be nice, plus the GT30 and 280 cams should have enough steam out to 9k or so to make it worth while.

As for the 6 bolt swap, search and you shall be rewarded... thats a well documented swap.

You aren't going for AET at Mankato are you?

nah i went to school in nc, little ass town nobodys prob heard of, but it was school none the less

lol

but thanks, i got what i needed here, and ima go look for a thread with a block rebuild on a 4g63 if there is one...hopefully with pictures, it eases my nerves to see someone do it before myself so im screw up proof

for anyone who knows a lot about building these engines, any tips on the journey that lies before me?

when i start ill post pictures for ppl to look at and all

Please try to use correct capitalization and punctuation in your posts. It makes it easier and less annoying for us to read.
Also, what little ass town in NC are you talking of? Im from NC, thats why I was wondering.

[boostjunkie333]

Oh, didnt know. Sorry...

Umm The college is in Halifax, which is nearer the cost than i think you are, i bet youve maybe heard of Roanoke Rapids, it runs into that

[LandoAWD]

I'm in NC as well.

I run a budget setup that is fun on the street.

2g pistons, 1g big rods (8.5:1 comp), FP2s, .020 over, Mitsu head gasket, stock crank and a bunch of fuel and boost. Other than my issues with Link (my own ineptitude), the car is a ton of fun.

The big-ol FMIC I just slapped on doesn't hurt either.

How'd that turn out anyways? Did the wife get down and dirty?

[LandoAWD]

Bitc...um...wife went to a movie with her Mom. Probably a good thing as I was unhappy and unpleasant for a good bt of time during the process. Tin-snips SUCK for opening up the holes by the rad, and the front motor mount made it a pain to slip the coupler onto the turbo.

[Thor06]

Motor mounts? Radiators? Who needs that shit?

[LandoAWD]

LMAO. A year later, I can now sell you a Supra SMIC you no longer need.

[boostjunkie333]

Just for shits and giggles, let me put it like this...

So, hypothetically you have a gsx body, what would be your dream combo if money wasnt a problem

And by combo I mean block & rotating assembly

Keep in mind this car will sometimes be driven on the road in public lol

But you still want it to be a beast =)
