Re: Building sbc for boost

i could afford the full assembly. but it in the longrun of the build, is it really needed? I understand the need for the good rods and forged pistons, but alot of folks have said a forged crank only starts to come into play at even higher power levels, or when using a bigger s/c (something about the snout snapping?).

I have a rough number set aside for the motor, but im trying to build as smart as i can. (I have budgeted around $2500 for a diy turbo setup, and im lucky enuough to have a large fab shop at work for piping/welding etc). Right now, the motor itself is step 1, and i want to make a good foundation, but no reason to throw money at it.

I COULD build a stout NA motor, but I really would like to do a FI build.
