I’m chasing some info with not much luck so far to build up a na engine to turbo for a Barra conversion I’m doing.
iv tried the search button and Facebook and not really getting my questions answered.
I’m looking to go about 350-400rwkw
Valve springs I’m going to use plazmaman
apr head studs
questions I have are:
1- iv picked up some bf f6 rods and piston, iv been told chuck some rings on while there out. Genuine?
If not what’s better only ones I can find are Hastings other wise the others all come with a forge piston kit.
2- rod end cap studs reusable?
3- is it worth chasing a turbo head and manifold or do just rip out the butterfly’s and off I go?
4- head gasket, genuine? Permaseal (Repco)?, ceramic?
5- injectors 1000 or 1500cc
6- oil pump will a genuine turbo keep up or should I chuck a atomic one in?
7- fuel pressure reg and fuel pump recomedations?
8- will be putting a turbo zf behind it is it worth using a FG zf or are they no stonger than BF, I think I have to swap over the mechatronic system or something?
