Ok so I have a Vishnu Stage 1 Sig(Cams, Piggyback ECU, Dumbback exhaust) and I want to go to the next level. I want to port and Polish the head, bigger cams, valves, springs, retainers, ect.. I was wondering what else will I have to upgrade with all of that. I am sure I will need a fule pump but what else am I going to have to get. Clutch? Head Bolts? Diffrent head gaskett?

Thanks

 

We/EZ76 are doing testing to see if your headwork is worth the expense on the stock turbo. Also I dont see a hotside we have gotten very good gains with that little part

 

How would you rate the difficulty of installing the hotside?

IMO about the same difficulty level as cams

 

What is a hotside? I feel like a noob

 

Hot side = 10.5 nozzle turbine housing

 

Where can you get the 10.5 housing? And how much do they typically run?

The also sell the titanium internals for your stock turbo...

I'm asking the following questions because I'm interested and I'm ignorant IRT this upgrade.

Do you recommend this job for weekend DIY folks?

I know that installing cams is much easier if you have the timing belt tensioner tool. Does installing this part require any special tools or just a lot of time and patience?

Also - has anybody installed the completed kit of titanium shaft turbocharger/10.5 housing? If so - how difficult to install this?

Thanks so much for you time.

 

Having been along for a few of those, I'll say that the hotside takes more cajones and more elbow grease and patience than the cams do. I'm not quite the pro Andrew is at both of them, though.
