so i want to get my block bored 20 over and get a turbo for it....
i know that i want aem cam gears.....and lots of other stuff but there is kinda alot that i cant figure out....i have tried emailing howell automotive about this....but they never wrote me back.....

i want JE 8.6 pistons and eagle connecting rods...but does anyone know if they come with the wrist pins???

anyone know what the difference is between the p-series and h-series rod bearings????do you need both???or just one???
what about the full groove main bearings or the p-series main bearings????

http://www.howellautomotive.com/inde...S&Category=223

any idea on what piston rings to get????..hastings??? i dont know if the hastings come with all the rings or just the wide ones???

are the crane valve springs and titanium retainers worth it??? or necessary??? do i need titanium retainers????
http://www.howellautomotive.com/inde...ory=223&Page=2

i want to get the walbro fuel pump, but isnt that a rail mount pump??? what would i do about the stock one???

I'd suggest calling Cory at Modern Performance and speaking with him. Howell Auto isn't gonna help you out the way Cory will.

If you are going turbo then go with the Crane#14 and yes I would go with better valves and the Indy's are great. You will also need bettter springs and retainers. If you are going with JE pistons, why not get their rings as well? I'd get the titanium retainers and crane springs just to be safe. You want reliability with the turbo then don't get cheap spud. The MLS will work with the bored block.

Again, call Cory at Modern Performace...you will find his customre service skills far superior to Howell's. He will also ship your item when paid for so you get it in a decent amount of time. It's toll free 1-877-247-6366

Modern is the cheapest I have found for new stuff, you could alwats get used stuff cheaper.

Yes the SRT-4 turbo manifold will bolt up, but you "should" know that you need more than just that.

Looks like you got everything on the list. You can find the SRT turbo on srtforums.com all day, anyday.

well after thinkin about it this mornin on the way to work, im gonna just get the melling oil pump, srt4 turbo, fuel pump, intercooler, JE 8.6 pistons, eagle connecting rods, new clutch, rear main seal, 20 over block(maybe 40, have to find out about reliability first) and all the other turbo junk......
then save the rest of the money for my 4-wheeler....then start with the car again....and go for the head...i have a few heads laying around, so i can completely build one of them over time and then just swap it out...

any idea how fast it might be compared to an srt-4 with just the turbo and bottom end built????? what about power output??...ive olny ever driven 2 turbo cars..a wrx and srt4..neither had any internals done...just the regular bolt ons so i dont know what to expect

another question.....which turbo might be better, the stock srt-4 td05lr or a stock eclipse td05h????...i alredy hace the td05h but i need the manifold, just wondering which way to go
