I have a 90 ingtera With the top end rebuilt. Rebuilding the block it had a bad rod bearing. Should i rebuild the block 8to1 comp for a tubro I got a garret tubro at work or non tubro 9.8to1 block what would you do?

 

9.8:1 is not the compression ration your gonna want to run if your goin for a N/A engine. I'm not sure about the aftermarket support for a B18A but if you go for N/A your gonna want to run a higher compression ratio like 12:1. The advantage of running N/A is that you get the power right away, you don't need a turbo, S.C., or nitrous to make the power. The downside is that if you are running N/A there really is no replacement for displacement. On small engines, i prefer turbo set ups. For a turbo set up, you will want something like 8:1 compression pistons. Either way i think your gonna want to get the rest of the bottom end built. I would recommend forged connecting rods. I dunno about the cranks, but GSR cranks are good for like 800HP.

 

I still think ill need a turbo to get good power out of it. I have been look at turbo kits on Ebay. I just have to find the right pistons and rods. I really like to get the car on the road soon any if I had more money and time.
