PLEASE LET ME KNOW ANY INSIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE, I WANT A DECENT, RELIABLE TURBO BUILD....LOOKING FOR AT LEAST 400 WHP....LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING YOU WOULD RECOMMEND ME GETTING FOR THE BUILD.....THANKS

 

Most here are going to tell you to ditch the 3MM headgasket....so I'll say it first, stick with the OEM headgasket.

Also, did I miss the aftermarket MAP sensor? You're gonna need one if running anything close to or over 10psi.

Clutch??
Fuel Pump??

 

yeah, i will be installing a walbro 255 fuel pump....can i make more power with a OEM headgasket, my only concern was too much compression

 

TOP MOUNT VS BOTTOM MOUNT VS FRONT MOUNT WHAT BETTER?

 

Many (including myself) are making over 400hp on stock HG.

 

IS THAT THE JDM F20 BECAUSE I READ THEY HAVE A HIGHER C/R....I JUST WANT TO BE SAFE BUT HAVE GOOD POWER.....I WANT THE TOP MOUNT ONLY SO THE TURBO IS ACCESSIBLE BUT WILL IT BE BETTER TO GO WITH A DIFFERENT MANIFOLD

 

I'm at 500+ on oem headgasket with arp studs.

What kinda fuel are you planning on using. Might want to look into a bigger pump b/c honestly they aren't much more. I think I paid 40 bucks more to have a FB pump rather than a walbro.

Also the 70mm exhuast might be on the small side. You won't stop at 400. You'll always want more. Don't want to upgrade on that expensive exhuast down the road

Happy boosting.

 

Ditch
3MM HEADGASKET
ARP HEADSTUDS
ARP INTAKE MANIFOLD STUDS


All those things are unnessary.

I would get the FB fuel pump itstead of the wally.

Yes you ok on the stock motor just don't open it.

Been proven over and over these motors hold up to boost.

 

ALRIGHT BRO IMMA HOLD YOU GUYS TO YOUR WORD NOW.....SO WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT TOP MOUNT, BOTTOM MOUNT, OR FRONT MOUNT?

 

I agree with most of this. From the OP's second sentence, it looks like he's throwing on a built head. If that's the case, then the ARP Headstuds are a good idea.
