GT35R type of kit should be good for that. Ive heard good things about Turbo Trix, Im sure you will have good results.

holidays set me back a bit.. Just ordered a set of supertech valves 1mm over and supertech dual valve springs/retainers/seals. The complete port job is almost done. T-Trix did a great job working with me on the motor/head. Looks good. Can't wait to drive the car this summer =)

I picked up motor/head yesterday. Turbo Trix did a great job with the block/head. Waiting on a few more parts and then i can start putting this beast back together. Ill try to get some pics up tonight. What Timing belt is recommened? Also What head gasket. Im leaning towards an oem head gasket, just want to make sure its the best choice. Thanks

i belive buschur uses a oem headgasket on most of their builds.. up to like 700+hp... dont quote me on that tho, i remember reading it somewhere on here. as far as a timing belt.. i have never heard bad things about the blue gates timing belt.. little on the pricy side, but you get what you pay for.. expecially if your going 2.3.. w big turbo i would just do it the right way the first time.

I was told by several people the oem head gasket is the best option for the ix. Yous should post up you spec sheet when you get it back from TT. curious to see what they set a lot of clearances at.... Im in the middle of a high reven 2.0 build picking my block up possibly tomorrow. as far as gaskets there is a guy on here russell something, he gets good deals on oem mitsu stuff. I would just buy the kit that way you have spares `or at least all are brand new. The gasket set is like 230 or nickle and dime and yourself to death.... like the oem head gasket is 70.

if you haven't decided on the turbo, I say go with the HTA35R with a .82 housing for better top end, I think it works great with you 2.3l build

Check buschur for the turbo kit, and trust me you won't be disappointed.
