B16b F.I. Q's

Finally have all the parts to my turbo setup, now I just need to build my engine up before I bolt on the boost. I did some looking around and didn't see a obvious answer to my question. The turbo I came across is a t3/t4 (specs: .57 t compressor wheel, .50 a/r compressor, .63 a/r turbine). I do know that will put out a fair amount of WHP. I would like to get my engine bored out and sleeved, as well as a set of low compression pitsons, but I'm not sure where to look to find these answers as to what type to get and how much to bore it out. I'm not looking to spend top dollar on this because it is a budget setup, but I would like some power without blowing the engine. Any info or links would be appreciated.

lol sleeving and internals doesnt really happen on a budget....id sell that b16b for a hefty chunk of change and take the cash to build up a sick, cheaper motor like an ls/v, gsr, or b16

yea i got that...how are you on a budget if you got a b16b?....isnt that like 4500 bucks?...like i said before, if it was me, id sell it and use that extra cash to do a full build up on another b-series. Try www.raceeng.com for pistons and rods, they have a ton of ----

Budget in a sense....got the engine for $400 from a girl that didn't know what was wrong with it. Come to find out, nothing much was wrong with it at all. But anyway....thank you for the link

nice buy, you could turn a nice profit on that, or put down some good numbers. Whats the stock compression on that thing, you might have no problem with good fuel management and just stock internals, b-series stuff is pretty stout man.

stock cr on that thing is 10

:1 I believe. I'm not sure how she did it but she broke a rod and bent another. The block and the head themselves however, are just fine. I did have those taken to a local shop and tested and it checked out ok. Completely baffles me as to how that happend but hey, works out for me. So as far as rods go atleast, I need some new ones. I just figured while I was replacing those, there was something better as far as pistons go, that isn't really expensive.
