Help with build

CrazyInBlack · 03-15-2007, 06:34 AM

OK guys I need some help picking out some upper end parts. I want a turbo but I would like to start with a strong motor. trying to stay with used parts I can afford but other than that I have no idea what to look for. I will be converting to a MAF this summer as well so my cam options will be a little more open.

EDIT: Or should I just find someone who can do a little work on my E7's, throw on some 1.6's and call it a day? The reason for tearing it down is to replace the head gaskets and install head studs.

Here's a good "Budget plan"...
Cobra Upper & Lower.
Some aluminum heads, if you can swing the money this direction, I feel it will benefit you more than anywhere else.
Stock cam will be fine for your turbo setup. But a new timing set is a good idea, and the cam is easy to swap at that point. I'd use either of these:
Cam 1
Cam 2
