Hey,
Can anybody refer me to a previous thread, or give me an idea of what I'll need to do to build a reliable 2.3 that will support 350 HP turbocharged?
I have an 89 coupe that I just bought. I know I'll have to replace the existing 174k 2.3 that's there.
This isn't my first turbo project, but its my first 4cyl project. I would know what to do if I was dealing w/ an 8 cyl.( i wouldn't have to put a turbo on it)
I will probably use a blow through carb, water/meth inj. for an intercooler, and use an MSD digital 6 (or something like that) for ignition timing as it will retard timing when it senses boost from the map sensor.
I only need to know about what it's gonna take to make the engine survive, (block, crank, rods) and what I'll have to do for a head ( stock-ported or something else altogether).
Thanks
Mike
