Stage 2 Going from DE+t to DET
I´m running a 10:1 highport sr20de on 10psi with a TD05h turbocharger, the car was dynoed at 303bhp/310nm on a MAHA dyno.
It as been great so far, pretty reliable and fast... but on hot days i see knock on my SAFC2, i know it´s not 100% exact but... also i don´t feel confortable running this much power/torque on a stock DE motor.
Already have a 70A gearbox and ordered the M´factory LSD(waiting for it) for my stage 2, wich will not be for more power, but reliability, since i plan to track it often.
Already have s14 8.5 pistons and 17mm rods to go in
Have a spare DE 8CW block in good condition
Plan to:
-ACL race bearings
-GTIR oil pump
-Lightweight Flywheel and crank pulley
-SR20DEH 4CW crankshaft(worth it?)
-SR20VET metal headgasket(genuine)
The bottom end will be balanced professionally in this engine tuner locally.
Is this a good strong bottom end? I don´t plan to run much boost or RPM, just want it strong and fast, i really don´t see the need to go forged and ARP the head, or am i wrong?
Mind i´m on a very strict budget, and i´m on EU also, don´t have acess to alot of things, but plenty of de/det/ve leftovers
