first turbo build underway looking for thoughts
this is my first time turboing a car. im going for a nice setup (i know im going to hear this is too much hp for first time and all however it will also be a sponsor show car at the same time so im doing it right the first time)
i bought my my00 silverstone s2k at 17 and of course being a dumb teenage i banged her up quite a bit and didnt have the income to fix her up. now at 20 being a little bit more responsable with a much better income im wanting to take on the process of restoring her.
im in the process of purchasing a block from a guy on here who's getting it built at a place called total performance racing (TPR) in ohio. (if anyones heard of them i would appreciate any feedback you guys could give)
the block is f20c golden eagle slaves cp flat top pistons 10:1 compression with the availability of +1mm valves. carrillo pro series rods carrillo rod bolts competition ring set micro polished crank, acl racing bearings (including acl racing thrust bearings and upgraded wrist pins.
been doing alot of research into different brands for valvtrains. and i've decided on ferrea double spring valves retainers and ferrea +1mm intake and exhaust valves.
as far as camshaft goes i've talked to the builder at TPR and he informed me it'd be best to wait to figure out the best size cam i should get depending on turbo size i choose and other variables.
i really like the toda racing cams however every website i look at it shows they are only compatable with toda up rate springs. im not sure if i would feel comfortable with these springs since they're only single coil springs.
was wondering if anyone had any experience running these cams with other brands of valve springs? ditto goes with the toda adjustable cam gears and cams other than the toda racing cams.
also recently found a website that sold manley and crower aftermarket keepers. was wondering if anyone has heard of these being installed and how they test under high boost pressures. also if anyones had problems with the stock keepers under high boost pressure. (this is a huge thing for me since the keeper kind of holds all that stuff together)
note that other parts being installed in the head will be arp head studs. ferrea valve seats (especially if i decide to go with the ferrea dual springs and +1mm valves) and ferrea bronze valve guides
any thoughts comments suggestions or even helpful criticism would be much appreciated
