Hey Everyone I'm new to this forum and just looking for some answers for my first ka24de-t here's a list of the parts so far

Wiseco 9:0.1cr std boreEagle RodsCrower Stage 3 Cams Crower Dual Valve SpringARP Head studs.40 Cometic HGPrecision Sc61 Turbo

head was also rebuilt mildly.. now first off I was wondering is the stock oil pump good enough to put enough oil though this turbo? I'm hoping to get like 500+ hp and is there anything else recommended replacing/ upgrading before I put this motor together Thanks for any help!

Isn't 9:1 kinda high for such an ambitious turbo build?

Not really, 9:1 is fine for a daily. You just have to switch over to race gas sooner, or run meth sooner than you would if you had say 8.5:1, which is as low as id ever go for a daily driver.

well it started out simple thats when I got the 9.1 and then I wanted something a bit more and then I figured the .40HG would take the cr a little bit lower

the turbo only needs 30psi of oil pressure, so i'm sure you'll be fine.
