Hey all. As some of you may know i am in the process of rebuilding my engine due to dropping an inlet valve and have decided to turbocharge it. So i thought why not start a thread here about it.

So far i have;
- Bf XR6T Piston and Rods
- ACL 1.6mm Copper head gasked
- ACL race series bearings.
- GCG Gt3540r Turbo
- Tial 44mm Wastegate.

I am slowly building it all up and hoping to have it all together by this time next year

Cheers Andrew

Let me know when you have actually got it in, then i might be interested.

i would only go ba rods if u by the after market ones e.g. argo, atomic eagle.

if your going to do a full rebuild do not use that 1.6mm copper gasket s**t! work out how much compressing u want and get custom pistons with the right dish volume. or 3.9l 11cc pistons may work out ok. then use a normal au mls gasket.

rest is ok, but there is till alot more things u need to think about like fuel upgrades, after market ecu, exhaust intercooler........

how much power do u want? i would be happy to stick with preped stock rods 3.9l acl pistons for anything under 350rwkw

This time next year? Sounds like one of my projects.

Aftermarket rods and pistons ftw.
