im about to start rebuild because im getting smoke from the breather valve, and a lot of folks her say and others i know say its from my rings being fired, so im like ---- it. also im planning to run a evo 3 16g

im just trying to decided whether to get a rebuild kit, with aftermarket parts and rebuild or save up more money to just have it resleeved and built (which will take me way longer to do)

i might just go that route to be on the safe side and that way i can boost the hell out of the car sense it just my track car.

before getting it sleeved, i would check out the limits of the stock sleeves, i think those are pretty stout motors

Re: WHATS GOOD AMOUNT OF BOOST......?

15psi boost is a good start, it's where piston engines stop being crap and start making torque. 25psi is good on a street car. You can go above 30 on a race car if you have a MAP sensor up to the job.
