Buschur racing build opinions
I want to rebuild my engine in the future and I've been looking into buschur just not sure what to go for. I still want to run pump gas and keep a DD, would the 2.3 kit be reasonable?
i was running 430awhp on my stock block on a BR HTA35R kit at 26psi for a good 20k miles before i stepped up to the 2.4 (stock block still was fine too at nearly 100k). Only other supporting mods were a AMS VR1 intake manifold, larger FMIC and piping, Spoolin' up COP and HKS cams, oh and apr head studs help too
Might be worth a shot to do the same until you really feel the need for more power or your stock finally lets go. A stock block can run at that level for a long time if it has supporting mods to get the power and your not doing it all via boost. And of course maintained and tuned right.
basically by having more displacement with a larger turbo you can turn down the boost levels compared to a 2.0 and make similar power. so less boost the less pounding the engine will take. also depends what turbo your using to push that boost.
I am willing to admit i am not an expert in this field but that is my understanding. IMo just keep the stock block running in the mean time and do all the supporting mods for the time being. work up to the engine build and then when you do you have all the mods around it to get even more power with little effort.

is it all stock?
if it stayed stock and compression is good then i would say it could take on more boost for a while.
these engines can take a pretty good pounding

i take it boost was turned up and tuned?
either way i say do a compression check and check it out. if its good across the board i wouldnt be worried about pushing it.
Mine even had meth on it for a year and it was running 500awhp. and there are plenty others out there that have pushed their stock blocks even harder.
your going to need supporting mods anyway, so might as well start with them. that is my opinion.

i would run it till it goes too.
Do some research and see what route you want to take and how much you think you're going to want to spend. there are alot of builds on here so search around and look what people have done and figure out what you want to do.
You can keep on stock frame style turbo and reach your goal and save some cash or t3 and have lots of head room for later in case you get bit by the bug and want even more.
I only have experience with my setup and i can say it has been solid and i cant ask for more. the HTA35 turbo is awesome and now that i am ready for more on pump i can still get another 100+hp with the new block and a bit more head work.
but all in all its budget and goal. if you want to keep a tight budget you can get your goal without breaking the bank or you can go big and leave yourself the head room. (basically how my build went, left a good amount of head room for more without having to swap turbos) If i wanted i could even change to E85 and get even more
Coil on Plug, fuel pump, injectors, larger stock frame turbo? or T3 kit? some mild cams (advise doing HG, ARP head studs and timing components) and you should be making some decent power.

Coil on plug depends on your cash flow i guess. I have Spooling Up. Good product for good price, but you can spend ALOT more on better COP setups if you want. If your going to stick to pump, cant got wrong with FIC1050/950s. Warning though proper Injectors can be calculated alot better then me just tossing out a number. Once you know what turbo, then you know what boost level you need to get your goal and so a more exact injector can be chosen. doesnt hurt to have the extra head room. I have RC1200s for my setup.

This is a good read for when you do start looking for a motor http://highboostforum.com/forum/show...for-your-build
I went with a full 2.3L fp red build, will hit around 550hp...The 2.0 is fine tho as long as you build the bottom end.
