JE will make custom ones. if you get new pistons its always good to sleeve the block. the F23 uses an open deck which isnt the best for boost. i have 95k on my car. dont be scared of boosting. on heavy cars with a SOHC theres gonna be no way to make an all-motor car fast. my next project will be a civic built all motor. i love all motor cars but theres no way to do a SOHC all motor. no i didnt install my VAFC. i hate wires. give me bolts and sockets and i'm fine. but when it comes to wires (except stereos) i let someone else do them. i had my fuel curve tuned on a dyno. NA i made 142hp and 143ft/lbs with i/h/e/vafc
the turbo kicks in around 2300. my torque numbers at 2200 are 80. but at 2300 its at 160. its at 200 hp at 4500 and it keeps goin up until 5900 and it drops back down. i honestly have not hit full boost on the street yet since i had it dynoed. i would say full boost will be hit around 4000. at 3000 i have about 7 lbs

well its better to take it to redline. its gonna be faster. but i didnt need to when i was racing him. i wanna race a newer Supra. like the 93-98. i know the TT will blow me away still. but i MAY be able to take on an NA supra. i dont really know how fast they are. i'm sure i can stay with one. i have no clue on what their times are. an NA may blow me away too. i'm not sure. i wanna race one just to see
