Does A 50 Trim Need A "built" Motor?!
Guys,
Okay, I have been searching for rides here with 50 trims and some of them are built and some of them aren't... I would just like to know the limits (if people have identified it already) of the engine for that turbo. I know it is still quite small and some people are going with 35r's w/ the stock block but are somehow expecting that it will go bye-bye someday soon.
I have seen 400+hp guys running the 50 trims, but just how much are these turbos asking for in terms of internals? Do they really need 'forged' internals to make them work safely? And after a good tune, what else is needed?
And another question, when it comes to breaking in a newly rebuilt engine, how long should I wait to get the thing on the dyno and tune it?
