well my inspiration came from Aaron cake
i could have done the TurboII but just wanted to learn more about my car then just taking the motor out and doing the turbo motor swap...
The H1e should be here now but customs here are very slow these days ...

I don't know much about the Holset turbos but based on the A/R numbers that are being referenced I think it might be a little more laggy than you want. I think 1.0 A/R would be right where you want it. When you did the Bridge did you also port the exhaust and use turbo sleeves?

actually I posted a little late. seems you have already chosen the turbo. I was running a 1.15 housing on a ported turbo motor with 9.4 rotors and the lag was nasty imo. I stepped down to a 1.0 housing and all was good.
Just those A/R s sounded big for a NA motor and if it has the diffusers in the exhaust sleeve then it would worsen I would think.
Seems like you got it going in a good direction now. It will be interesting to see how it runs.

Looks good! I would recomend bigger fuel line. An 8AN should work. Also if able have your intake air routed as to have fresh air from the outside and not from the engine bay.

well the car turned down only 183hp @3psi on the last dyno session because of a broken silicone coupler , didn't find the problem at the dyno so i went home and then after checking all the couplers found 1 of them broke but from the under side so i couldn't see it right away , and this was with an untouched base map , lets hope the new IC &piping setup will do its job when i get it finished
more to come later on
more to come later on
