ORIGINAL: riceburner700

top mount, aluminum piping welded together, big intercooler, gt30r, 3 inch downpipe with exhaust, shooting for over 400+hp if that takes over 35+ lbs of boost

Thats fu*kin sick! Did you change your valve springs and retainers already? What are you redlining at? I'm runnin 9psi on my d15b jdm, just over 200hp I believe. Next few months here im getting new rods, pistons, cam, valvesprings, and a 16g Evo III turbo (runs 11psi on stock internal wastegate, tuning with my Greddy Profec B Spec II, I think I can do it because my 14b turbo is easily tuned to 9psi from the stock wastegate of 3 psi), ARP Studs, hoping for 15-30psi, how much can stock sleeves take? I wont have the extra money to get it sleeved for awhile, but I want to run as much boost as possible on stock sleeves

RE: motor build stage 1

when you are dyno tuning your car, if the car makes power past 7200 rpms and isnt dropping off i would consider upgraded valve springs and retainers which i carry for your motor
