I have a built sr20de & I decided to go turbo. It has 87mm bored cylidars with 11.6:1 compression.

Here are my questions:

1) The high compression of my motor is due to the pistons. When I pull the motor apart, what are the best 87mm low compression pistons to go with? Also, should i go with new rods?

2)The head is already built: stage v dpr head with C3 cams & ferrea valve train. What turbo/manifold/intercooler combo would be the best to go with considering the cams & headwork?

3)Are there any other major parts that I'm need to cover that I haven't mentioned, aside from ECU reprogramming?

Thanks, Elea

I hope this helps it was in the turbo facts sec.

If you are looking to reaplace your front tires every other week, here is a good ~400HP Setup, this is the limit of the stock bottom end:

JWT ECU with 4bar fuel program
Cobra MAF
FMAX/Protech/Redline Manifold
T3/T04E hybrid with Stage III .82 A/R turbine housing and .50 A/R 50trim
compressor housing
JWT S3 cams
MSD 50lb/hr injectors
New Fuel Pressure Regulator
FTF or JWT fuel rail
HKS or TiAL Wastegate
HKS, Greddy, TiAL BOV
Walbro or 300ZX TT Fuel pump
Electronic Boost Controller
3 inch Downpipe
3 inch exhaust
ACT ExtremePP with HD Disk, or 6 puck
Large Spearco Intercooler
Aquamist Water Injection
MSD 6A Ignition

Here is a setup that should get you 500HP, I think you would be nuts to run this on the street:

JWT ECU with 4bar fuel program
Cobra MAF
FMAX/Protech/Redline Manifold
T3/T04E hybrid with Stage V .82 A/R turbine housing and .60 A/R 57 trim
compressor housing
JWT C1 cams
JWT Springs and Titanium retainers
Cam gears
MSD 72lb/hr injectors
New Fuel Pressure Regulator
FTF or JWT fuel rail
HKS or TiAL Wastegate
HKS, Greddy, TiAL BOV
Walbro or 300ZX TT Fuel pump
Electronic Boost Controller
3 inch Downpipe
3 or 3.5 inch exhaust
Strong Clutch, equivalent to ACT ExtremePP with HD Disk
Large Spearco Intercooler
Aquamist Water Injection
O2 Induction Stage II Intake Manifold
JWT Headwork
Arais Forged Pistons
Crower of equivalent rods
MSD 6A Ignition

Thanks for the info on that, but i was looking for a turbo kit that would work around the head/cams/intake manifold that I already have.

im not sure but i dont think the c3's will work with the turbo...too much overlap IIRC

Hes right C1's are your best bet. Thats what I'm running right now. Anything higher than C1 will cause problems

Has anyone actually tried C3's with a BIG turbo yet?

The turbo info is a bit outdated.... the big turbo to go with now is the HKS GT3037. Of course, it costs a ton more though....
