Hey guys, it's time for me to rebuild my engine after 175k miles. I can't decide should I go ST or SC after it's done. My goal after the build is to have around 430-450WHP. Option 1. I live in CA, and I don't have to worry about being pull over by police if I have the SC kit, but I think I nedd to buy the complete kit in order to get the CARB cert n not the tuner kit (please correct me if I'm wrong). Option 2. Someone is offering a great deal on turbonetic kit for me, but I want to know can I achieve my goal with turbonetic kit.

Things that I already have
Crawford HFC
JWT Fly wheel
JWT Clutch
Invidia N1 Y back exhaust
Intense Motor Sport Y pipe
Volks SF challenge Rims

Here are the parts I've ordered already for my engine buitl. Please let me know if I'm missing anyparts.

CP pistons 8.5/1 with rings
Eagle h bean rods
Acl race bearing
6mm intake valve seal
Cometic head gasket
ARP MAIN STUDS STUD KIT
Brian Crower Stage 3 272 Cams
Brian Crower Valvesprings &Ti Retainers
Ferrea 6000 Valves standar size

Things that I will order

Plenum spacer
ARP head stud kit
REVUP oil pump (any other brand suggestion?)

SC kit
or
ST kit

Thanks

 

if you are are already going with lower compression pistons i would recommend turbo.

 

trade your pistons you havent got yet for 11:1 pistons and go with supercharger.

no sense messing with carb and ref tickets

 

^ lol

 

Build*

 

+1000

 

Go with a milder cam, BC3's dont idle that great. Power goal is weaksauce so why the crazy cams?

 

low compression + SC = weaksauce power

 

"It time for my Built"


...not a good start bud

 

a reflash to 1000 rpms solves that problem along with the vortech clacking noise. without a reflash though, idle will be very tough, esp at 650rpms.

i think the BC3s would probably do pretty well on a setup that has a right shifted/rpm based powerband.

 

Yea.. I woke up this morning with 3 hours of sleep after 17 hours of drive from Seattle to Dublin, CA.

 

I just got a lawl out of it, good luck

 

I got the piston, rod, and cam all together from a member in this forum. So if I decide to go SC, then I need a milder cam? Does this apply to ST?

 

Did you buy all this stuff from that guy from puerto rico?

 

Yes..

 

ur gonna have to rev it out alot to make much power with those pistons, low compression pistons and supercharging dont yield very good numbers, id keep the cams the way they are and rev it the f*ck out XD

 

I guess I'll get new piston if I decide to go with SC option.

 

Before you get any deeper into this, talk to some pro engine builders, like Hal at Injected.
And tell him what your budget is, and what your goals for the Car are.

 

Yes... a buddy of mine is a engine builder too, I'm going over to his place this weekend and talk to him. Thank you for your advise.

 

How about Fuel Return system like CJM stage 1 kits? Dont you need when you have or trying to get that much power???
Sorry Im not a engine builder so I too can use someone's feed back also.
