8:1 may be a little bit too low. I'd like to build the car to about 250-300hp, I'm not sure what kind of boost I'd have to run to get those sort of figures.
>The setup you describe gives about a 8:1 compression ratio.

I plan on building my own manifold, and probably using a t3/t4 hybrid turbo. Boost lines will also be built by me, and I'll probably end up getting an intercooler from a turbo diesel truck or if the price is right from an aftermarket company. I'll need the silicone fittings and a few other odds and ends too, but that should be easy to source from ATP or an equilvilant tuner. >Stock cams are best, or use the euro intake, I also hear that TT may be >importing cam sets from the euro tallblock 16v motors and those would be >usable as well. > >You also need a fuel rail to run EFI on a 16v and change the injector seats >for G60 units. I'll end up building my own intake manifold as well, I'm not sure where I'll get the fuel rail tho. High horsepower will probably require a medium-large size rail.

The SDS system complete should run around $1000, right? >Oh and you have to clearance the piston tops to clear the 16v valves.

I may just end up going with a bigger bore as well for maximum displacement. >I am currently building a motor similar to this one and would be happy to >share more info if you need it. > >Brian H Cool. Tell me anything you know about it. Right now I'm just trying to gather some information about this sort of setup, maybe putting custom pistons into a 9A motor would be better in the end. Either way, I won't start anything until at least next summer.
