Alright guys.

I'm checking in here to see if my list and plans is all good to go.

I've broken down and decided to turbo my 420a.

So far, I'm just now finishing up paying for a turbo kit from a guy off of DSMTuners. This kit has the T3/T4 turbo.

Next, I'm buying a FMIC off a friend.

Then, I will move on to buying the engine rebuild kit.

Finally, will be fuel mods.

I noticed in the kit you can choose from Eagle rods or Crower ones which are of course much more expensive. But the Eagle rods should be plenty strong enough, right?

I ask this because I'm not even sure what to expect power-wise from my car once it's built with .20 over and turbo'd with a t3/t4. I saw a 420a turbo once that was built and the paper on it said it dyno'd about 223hp. Now I don't know if that's wheel hp or just hp...the owner was not around. I don't know how much psi either..

So I was hoping maybe some of you out there could give me an idea what to expect from a built and turbo'd 420a....and are Eagle rods enough to do the trick? And another big question, what do you typically boost at? I was thinking 10-12psi...is that about average for this setup?

Next, as for fuel...I do NOT want to go MegaSquirt route.
So instead, I need SAFC, super fuel management unit, wideband 02, and bigger injectors....is that right? I'm a bit unsure because I thought I read somewhere that the super fuel management unit was for when running *stock* injectors...I will be running 550s.

Finally, besides the pistons and rods...do I absolutely need to get new main & rod bearings as well as new valves?

The only motor work my car has seen was a simple rebuilt to repair major oil problems. The cylinders were honed and that was about it.

I know this is a lot, but I just want to make sure I'm on the right track and not buying a few things that I don't need.

Are you kidding me? I mean, seriously.

SEARCH function chick. I am not normally mean to girls, atleast with your name being Nikki, I hope your a woman, and you dont read at all within those 3 years?

With the SEARCH function, those 15 minutes you just took to type all these silly questions, would have been answered already.

I mean, c'mon, seriously now.

For fuel, me been you, will go with extra injectors set-up. Less troubles. But that's only my opinion.

uhh as far as bearings go, you had better replace em or theres really no point in rebuilding..it'd be like just bolting on a turbo to your engine and boosting 15psi. just consider it an insurance policy. replace em.

You can get it cheap, fast, or right, but only two out of three. So, if you're getting this all cheap and fast...

More research. I have to agree that a lot of this has been covered before many times.

Thanks for the replies.

As for "searching", I've looked over a couple threads in here before I posted this. I read ones that had titles that seemed to fit my topic. I found nothing. I've also looked around a bit more and maybe I'm blind but I've yet to see what kind of power is put down "average" with a built motor and turbo at certain PSI levels.

Yes, I've been a member for 3 years. But as you may have guessed from the few posts...I don't come here much.

Thanks for all the thoughts.
