justubiquitous · 03-07-2006, 11:53 PM

Well i'm looking to do a turbo/cam/injector upgrade and i'm looking for the best combo

The turbo I have my eyes on is a

COMPRESSOR WHEEL MAJOR DIAMETER 60.1

COMPRESSOR WHEEL MINOR DIAMETER 46.5

EXHAUST -WHEEL MAJOR DIAMETER 53.2

EXHAUST - WHEEL MINOR DIAMETER 41.8

COMPRESSOR A/R 0.61

TURBINE A/R 0.64

BEARING SYSTEM- BALL BEARING TURBINE

FLANGE TYPE- 73X40

I know i need at least 550 cc injector to fuel my new turbo

Now the only thing that i don't know an would like some good options is which cams to go with the make the most power

HKS Jim Wolf which ever ones

I have RAS's already

I will put new Head Gasket and head studs

but i'm not looking to replace the rods or pistons

so thanks for any info or insight that i could get from here

It looks like an SR to me cause he ain't gonna get too much outta a KA.... So assuming SR best CAMS would be Tomei. Pon Cams which ar 256 but with 11.5mm lift. Good timing good air. Anything more aggressive angle would be pro cams which require all new valve train (ie. Springs retainers and Valves). But that flows good flow, good idle, and good set of cams.

Jwt s3 or s4.... but then I already mentioned that to you

Second to that, I say go HKS step 1's with your goals in mind.
