I have a 98 RS-T that blew the motor about 8 months ago. Finally have the time to start building it the way I want it. I've got an idea of where I want it to be when I'm finished, but I value your opinions so I'm open for suggestions. Currently I have the head and block torn completely down. I've got a set of Forged Wiseco .020" over pistons on the way. Working on getting a set of Forged Eagle H-Beams soon. Then it's to the machine shop.
Okay so here's my goal. Run low boost (around 5lbs) during break in and until I get the rest of my fuel upgrades. Then I want to kick it up to about 10lbs, and maybe 15 after about 8-10 months of that. The car has a Ebay T3/T4 turbo, log style manifold, external wastegate with a 5lb spring in it now ( I also have a 3lb and 7-8lb spring), 10:1 FMU, Synapse missing link, Walbro 255, FMIC, TurboXS BOV, and a GlowShift boost gauge. That is what I'll be running it on for a couple months.
Here's what I'm going to get to run 10lbs: 340cc Injectors, AEM Wideband, EGT Gauge, Apexi SAFC, Greddy Turbo Timer, Electronic FCD, EGR blockoff, I'm removing the 10:1 FMU and I'm going to install my adjustable FPR that I found a few days ago that I forgot I bought.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. If I left something out feel free to add it. I CONTRIBUTED TO THE WIKI! ah... turbo. I love the turbo, the boost, the speed, the sound. and its all better when you do it yourself. cheaper too.
