I've had a look and I can't find anything with this exact query and there are hundreds to filter through.

get straight cut drops. the box will survive if you are gentle with it. try avoid emergency starts where possible.

Sorry but that is crap advice. Using full available torque in gear with grip is what will break teeth. No one to my knowledge has broken any part of the selector mech, e.g. synchro hubs. Baulk ring problems are down to wear or abuse but although annoying it isn't a show stopper.

Basically there have been examples of both extremes, people using large amounts of torque with sc drops/helical gearset and vice versa.

Well I've never run a turbo before. I have the MRA 1380 turbo set up with 11cc pistons and a head at this spec. a 12g940 cast with 36 inlet valves & std exh valves with uprated double springs (not just std double springs) combustion chambers are std ported to a fairly good standard 11stud.

Buy the best you can afford 140 bananas will soon become boring and the boost will get turned up. Try the bestyou can to future proof your build sc box and drops :)

1380 turbo set up with 11cc pistons and a 12g940 combustion chambers are std . A little of topic sorry. But have you worked out your compression ratio ? If the combustion chambers are standard size and you only have 11cc in the pistons you're looking at a compression ratio of about 10.5-1 with a BK450 gasket. That's if the pistons came flush with the block, they'll likely sit a bit below. But you're still looking at a high compression ratio for Turbo use .... Not having a go in any way, just wanted to make sure you were aware. Phil. :) |

Ahh I see thanks for that. I haven't bought this head yet i "was meant to pick it up next week. I was told it was standard turbo chambers. I really don't know much about building turbo engines. Only what I have read on here in the last month. Since I decided to go turbo.
