Re: Turbo Build 10.8:1 compression! undergo. Updated Pics

Thats cool, yeah i have a proper T fitting but like i said i want to try this out not a big deal to switch if need be. I also have a turbonetics stage 1 .63 a/r turbo in my garage. The turbonetics needs rebuilding at this point has a little shaft play and i might just rebuild it and use it but lets see how this ebay turbo does since everyone is afraid to run one. Appreciate the chiming in not many people on the forum as i thought but that's okay.

Nice build man, love the intercooler xD. have you thought about deleting the balance shafts? also do those acl bearings have the same thickness? or did you buy specific thicknesses for each rod/main?

Lol thanks, ha totally wont be using the coupe front at first lol. Also the acl bearings are those one size fits all deal. I purchased the standard size for the rods. The main is the hx which is thinner and give .001 more clearance better safe than sorry since im going pretty high with his build. Obviously i'll change out the necessary stuff to get high hp. Manifold/turbo/ injectors etc.this is to just get her going first build btw

If you haven't already opened them, see if you can trade the ACL rod bearings for some HX ones. Your rods should have a little more clearance than the mains. The standard ACL's are roughly equal to OEM greens. My ACL HX's gave me .0018" on the rods (.001" more than what greens came out to). It's not the .002" that I was hoping for, but better than the .0008" that standards gave me.
