i see nothing wrong with my opinions...but what do i know compared to JDMEM1 :respect::You_Rock_Emoticon:
no need to be an arguing matter RBs23, were trying to help the guy out by giving him pointers, but at the same time not waste his money on things that are not needed.
I was under the impression the whole time he was just putting a turbo kit on a b16, not building it. So sure cam gears would be good if he got cams, and sure putting the fuel pump on now will be good (i said that already), but no need on a fuel rail since the stock one can hold up just fine (around 400hp), unless hes pushing over the 400hp mark then yes an aftermarket fuel rail will be needed, if not another waste of money to spend.
Since he is building it, then yes an bigger TB & IM would be needed, but if he stays a stock internalled b16 with turbo kit you will see no gains on a bigger TB & IM. Reason being b/c if he doesn't have any supporting mods inside the b16 for a bigger IM & TB it will actually make him lose power b/c there will be to much air forcing into the motor. Esp. with a turbo and no supporting mods.
