Hi guys,

I really need help with a turbo build. It's been an up hill struggle to find someone who has been there, done that and is willing to help especially in the UK, so I have taken to the forum.

I have a budget of $10-12k for parts which includes a sheepey kit with a GTX3576R running up to 600hp. I want an engine which solid but don't want to buy unnecessary/OTT parts. What I have done is put a list together from my own research.

Please could you look through and make some comments/recommendations.

OEM Valves
Supertech Steel Springs
Supertech Steel Retainers

Block [if engine lets go] –

Perhaps it would be cheaper to buy a short block with low compression pistions? https://www.inlinepro.com/s1/c-23-engine-builds.aspx

Have a badass transmission and turbo setup if youd be interested

AFK-S2K

The turbo kit, fuel system and electronics alone will cost $10-12k.

A stock longblock with springs and retainers will do the trick for 600. My full turbo setup cost me 5k. Just look for good deals.

The question is how long for? I worry as I do trips around europe so need reliability. Do you think its worth getting titanium retainers?

guy13

I could extend the budget tbh. What build are you running?

At 600 whp these motors last quite a while. Real street did well over 100 track passes and a lot of street abuse before the motor went out at 700whp. 9 times out of 10 a built motor will never last as long as a factory engine.

Thats really interesting to hear. I could just run stock until it gives in. What would be the bare minimum then in terms of parts? Wouldn't you have to lower the compression for higher boost?

I would just run the stock motor if you have a good healthy stock motor. The stock motor is great at 600whp. Also your injectors are too small if you plan on running e85. The id1000s will make 600who no problem on race gas but not on e85. I would run the id 1300 of the new fic 1650cc.

Thanks for the advice. I'm based in the UK and we have 99 octane available everywhere, but will go for id1300 anyway
