Thread: opinions on high hp gtir/de/det

ok. kinda under the influence right now, but i figured id adress a question ive been mulling over. ive been putting together i nice turbo setup/b13 for about a year now, and its all inally falling in place. im going for about 450 hp....plans were just a de, and boost it tillit failed.....as i have about 6 of these motors in my garage. BUT a clean, DIRT cheap gtir front clip has come my way, and i wanted to see what peoples opinions were on just using the gtir loingblock with my setup. Its a protec log setup, with a 60 trim turbonetics, 750 cc injectors, 300 zx maf, ect......i was figuring id just blow motors up, but whatever if it became a common occurtance id build a motor, or bought a built one......but now maybe using the gtir motor to make 400-450 hp would be a better route......any pros/cons to a gtir vs a de? considering you had them both for the same price/free, what do you think? just wanted to see opinions.

parts availability and cost are really the only deterrents to the GTiR. Should do 450whp no problem.

any benefit over the block? justy wondering if i should stick with my de plan.....or should i just go with the gtir? ill have no money in the block, ive sold all the stock turbo stuff, so the clip/block was free. eh, just talking....
