Re: 400hp 02 Kia Spectra GS - Build Thread
Here is a pic of the Holset H2A Turbo I plan to upgrade it too. Should be perfect for this build. We could go over 400hp with this turbo if desired, we'll see how the rest of the engine pans out come that time anyway.

cool build, I'll definatly have to check in to see the progress.
btw, have you thought about how the thrust bearing is incredibly small and may pose a threat of crank walk? I ran into this on the turbo spectra I did.. I turned it up to 12psi and about a day of driving with a pretty heavy pressure plate/6 puk clutch, that bearing was toast, and it was walking all over like a dead dsm.
Good luck!

I remember you mentioning machining so a Honda thrust bearing would fit or similar?

Some more updates. Customer DID go with the Holset H2A and Pauter rods. We also upgraded to Precision 780cc injectors. I began some of the fab work on my own car (since it is still up until May-ish).
The Block, Valve Cover and a few other accessories will be painted like this:
I am using MY to test fit all parts for the customer who will drive in from out of state come July. Mine does not come out of the garage until May, so this works out perfect for all custom parts and fitment. MY car before putting it up for winter:
After starting the preb and Fab work from tonight. I hope to have the manifold tached up over the weekend.
