i want to know what turbo is best to get. and how can i get 400whp safely what do you guys recommend that i do

 

For 400whp I recommend something like a GT30 turbo, running around 15-18psi. A commetic headgasket 2mm think will allow that much boost to run safely on the F20C. You'll need 750cc injectors at the minium, and atleast an Emange...better off with a full stand alone. Of course a good tune is needed, without it all the money in the world won't save your engine

I would like to have that sort of power as well and thought 12-14psi should be fine on 98oct fuel...seems like I was daydremin'

nsxinsac why do you "might want to go with spring retainers, valve springs and head studs."? Not trying to start a flame war here, just wanna know whats the problem with the stock ones. Any knowledge on that?

 

I always wonder how reliable are the thick headgasket like the 2mm and 3mm. If you think about it, putting a thick headgasket is a cheap way of building your block with low comp piston etc. so you can run more boost. But snice some of us dont have the cash flow for a built block and so forth. I would like more feed back about thick headgasket. I thought about running a thicker headgasket like 2mm so i can run 10-11psi, and just 8psi for daily. Anyone have good info on thick headgasket ?

 

Check out the topic for the new Full Race kit thats going to be released. The power is incredible on a stock block, and the craftsmanship is top notch too... just get your wallet ready

 

I don't believe you need that much boost to achieve 400 whp. Cody at LoveFab is now building me an equal length manifold and tested it yesterday. With my T3/T4 60-1 turbo, he said that on 8 psi it's going to be real close to 400 whp with the AEM.

 

now that what im waiting for is the equal length one. SO anyone got any good info on headgasket ? I want to really do road racing with the lovefab kit. LOL

 

best kit on the market for the s2k is the full-race. hands down.

 

was the coolant problem from running the 2mm headgasket ?
