Track Turbo Build
 

I already know what everyone will say, just another turbo build thread that he should have looked through everything and got his answers. I'm looking into doing a track specific turbo build and want it to last under whatever I throw at it on the track. I'm not sure if I really want to go all the way through a full engine build but if I have to so be it. It's looking more and more like I'll be using lost of parts from FM because everything I read has the best quality in terms of design and reliability. What LSD do you guys use with gear ratios and what not? I will put a budget on the build but at the same time I want to do it right the first time to keep me out of trouble in the future.

Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks.

you're gonna get banned real quick if you keep this up.

To give you a heads up.... I already am 4700 in parts alone for a motor rebuilt not being built. Ball park 4k in a FM turbo kit II with MS3x. I have yet paid a builder for my motor which will cost me another 4 or 5k.

So if your on a budget, do what the guy above me says.

Before you add a turbo you need to do reliability mods like coolant reroute and bigger radiator. You should also upgrade the brakes and suspension. And the clutch pre-dates the turbo as well.

The 1.6 rear diffs fail at stock 1.6 power so switching to a 1.8 diff and axles is a must. 4.10 and 3.9 ratios are most common and either will do fine.

Always plan to spend more than you think you will... acct for all of the small things that add up real quick.

just go to the track and drive it.

replace/upgrade everything as it explodes.
