Building B18a1 Block
 

I got my car boosted... Its been running great... Im looking to get more power out of it so im thinking about building the bottom end.... as of now this is my setup:

Tubular T3T4 Turbo Manifold
Garrett T3T4 60/63 Turbo
10psi Wastegate
1g Eclipse Blow Off Valve
Johhnyrace car Front mount intercooler
2" intercooler Piping
Stealthmode oil line kit
12:1 Vortec Fmu
megan boost gauge

What are some thing that i can look into for buiding my bottom end...

well whats you're over all goal??? that determins alot. If you're not doing anything insane.. and staying under 400whp, then i'd get forged pistons, rods. new bearings. block guard or block posting/something to enforce the sleeves. while you're at it. i would send the crank to the machine shop and have it polish and balanced.

if you're going for something more, then i'd suggest resleeving the block.

Id suggest a chipped ecu and 450cc injectors first.Then what he said and some ARP hardware.The block posting/cement/block guard is somewhat of a disputed subject I dont think its neccasary for your goals but Im no expert.
