Default The Perfect Engine for Boost

I wanted to get ur guys opinions.if you were to build a motor to runhigh amounts ofboostthrough, say 20-25psi what would it be? Obviously the engine will be totally built, but what platform would u use to gain the most hp and tq?

Well hands down a K24 will dominate with a sleeved/forged bottom end, k20a head and a intake manifold from a new si k20z

lol, that made me giggle.

as for the question, a good cost effective boosted platform would be a gsr or si motor simply because of cost and ease of installation, as well as aftermarket parts availibility.

it really all depends on your hp goal, drivability, and cost.

Ls block with a b16 head (ls/vtec). If your doing the work yourself it will be pretty cheap to put together and will make a ton of power sleeved..

a gsr is a lot simpler if you're going the turbo route though.
