My friend who is a toyota guy, and owns a very nice supra. He never really delt with Hondas, but i've asked him to help me out with building the internals for my motor to get it ready for a custom turbo kit we will build. It will probably be around 300-400 whp. As for psi im not sure how much we will run but probably around 10-14. Not sure of what turbo we're going with yet. I would like you guys to help me out with choosing some parts for internals.

retainers
springs
rods
pistons if im going to lower compression
etc etc.

thanks and i hope to keep you guys updated once we start working on the car

 

im almost 100% positive you can hit mid 300s on like 8 lbs of boost...safe to do that on stock internals

 

Unless you have money burning a hole in your pocket, you can easily get 300-400rwhp on stock internals.

You'll want to drop your compression on anything above 10psi by using a thicker headgasket or pistons.

 

i will probably go with 2 mm headgasket. I just want to make the motor stronger while im at it. Plus he can get me great deals on what i would need and since we are doing this ourselves(he works on it and im the helper monkey ) no labor charges. This is why i need to a list of parts so i can research further to see which will be the most compatible with my set up.

 

2mm head gasket is def enough for 300 to 400 hp, best internals imo super tech springs, retainers, cp pistons pauter rods

 

Supertech valves, valve springs, retainers if you are building the head. 2mm/3mm head gasket if you want to do it the cost effective way. CP pistons and pauter rods for sure.

You cannot use OEM sleeves with most aftermarket pistons. I have my AEBs Sleeved block for sale which is at an 89mm bore and already honed. Sleev install was done by Z10 engineering and the bore/hone was done by benson sleeves.
