Default Turtles build!

ok. as some of you know, i just got a y8 block pan and crank that i plan on building for boost using Eagle rods, Virtias(sp?) pistons....and random other misc. parts. Turbo set up is still undecided because im not sure if i want quick spool, or a turbo that would give full boost at about 4K (under load) Im looking for about 200-250 whp. (basically anything over 200 will be dandy) but at the same time, i dont want to have to worry about breaking traction in the corners due to such sudden boost.

Im a Senior in High School and there fore im pretty much poor, so this project will mostlikley take all summer. Plus i start at DeVry for a 4 year degree (grad. in 3 though) On july 16, so i have barely over a month to work full time to pay for both that, and the build. Now, i will have updates with misc. things like cleaning and prepping pretty often, but actual progress; it might be a while. I hope to have the motor ready by winter, and then ill be hunting down a turbo set up (aquireing any good deals i find on the way of course) and hope to be boosting by that spring....all depending on cash flow.

sounds like a good idea, but i must tell you i was ready to start with all the parts i thought in november. i am still waiting to be tuned right now and i need to install two more parts and i will be done. it will take some time on your first build.
