Well, I'll be honest, I didn't read the whole thread, but guess what I have an oppinion anyways.
First, just read more threads on turbocharging. There are plenty of parts lists on plenty of forums. Whether it's a B18 or F23 doesn't really matter, it's all the same. You need a manifold, turbo, BOV, intercooler, fuel pump, tuning solution, etc., etc. etc.
If you want 250whp it has to be built, period.
You could probably run 6-7 psi on the stock block for 25-30k miles assuming compression was strong and even across all cylinders to start.
My advice is save up $5,000. Then seriously think about whether you want to spend it on turbocharging. I would prefer to have a Bank of America Cerrtified Deposit that earns me money, than an unreliable money pit that depreciates and is not liquid. That's just me.
You dont have to be built to have 250whp, and it doesnt cost 5000 to get there. Also the engine will last more that 30k.
What causes engines to blow is usually bad tuning. Either the combustion temps are too high, or there is detonation. Im going to go ahead and say that I think that 300whp+ more than possible on a stock block.
Does any one know if our blocks have oil squirters?
Im not sure... ima get it P&P for sure... and change the valves/rods/pistons/ lil things like that just to be on a safer side
Me, I'd rather drive something that I know won't grenade and leave me stranded.
