Alright guys/gals long story short I have a rebuilt KA and i did the rebuild myself! This rebuild was done with a bolt-on turbo kit in mind! Here are the specs for the engine:
ARP Hardware
Cometic MLS .075 thicker HG
Nismo colder thermostat
Agency power silicone radiator hoses
Godspeed aluminum radiator with 2 12' efans
Blitz 1.3bar radiator cap
King bearings, main and rod
New OE pistons and rings
248/248 cam swap
All emissions removed
Last time i did the compression test the numbers were 170-155-170-170. The reason behind the "155" i think is that i probably didn't stagger the rings more. Now i just want a bolt on turbo kit, gonna assemble my own, but i was wondering would that "155" cause any problems? The car as it sits now runs awesome, I mean i walked a Audi 1.8T, my boys Altima 2.5 lol, integra, Audi A4, i think, with a 2.8 v6. The only "concern is a little oil leak by the front cover, i mean very little! It will taken care of. Other then that my baby fires up everyday and takes me to college and brings me back just fine, around 125miles total. I would take the engine apart again to take a look at 2nd cylinder but with college being 5days a week, from 2-8pm and being 2 hours away i literally can't take it apart with the time i have for the car. But all in all if i was to put a bolt on turbo kit to get around 300hp would it be safe/reliable?? Sorry but i just wanted more inputs then couple of my buddies, they know their stuff but it still wouldn't hurt to ask my KA-T fellow members lol! Thanks in advance nico!
