Should I build an FA20?
Do you have a built motor? or maybe lots of knowledge on the subject...
Before I boost (God willing), I'd like to have different boost maps with a variety of Boost Levels: 6-8 psi 12-14 psi 15-20 psi Gonna go with an Avo Kit but before I do, I'm going to build my motor. What pistons, rods, cr ratio, etc. Thanks for the help Also, should I break in the motor while n/a or boosted? |

You need to speak with an engine builder. You need a power goal and a budget in mind beforehand. A forum isn't a great place to get engine building advice especially from start to finish. Short answer, you will not hold 20psi on a non built engine so yes you'd need a built motor.

My personal opinion is that you can certainly build your block to reach your goals, as there are a variety of options at the moment, however, the biggest bottleneck on this platform is the transmission. most people are going thru them regularly at 400+whp. |

PSi is nothing as stated by @1stGenBRZ86
the CFM of the compressor wheel is completely different from different turbos. You need to talk HP goal not PSi People have successfully gone 300 400 500 HP on a stock engine for extended periods of time. Keep in mind a turbo only produces that power in boost. If you tune it for 700 HP but baby it around you can claim 50k miles on 700 HP stock engine. But if you want to actually use said power at minimum I recommend Rods, lower compression pistons and valve springs. As for Compression ratio availability of fuel octane in you region should help determine that

I am running the 10-12psi range (on a 20g) so it's roughly 250-280whp and that's not bad on the stock motor. Keep in mind like others have said PSI isnt the measurement you use. Too much low end torque is what bends rods

I doubt the AVO turbo will reach your PSI goals either.
I'm tuned to 18 PSI on stock internals and baby the shit out of my car. Full boost occurs at 4500 RPM, builds nice and slowly to that point. I like my stock engine for now ;D My build recipe is as follows: Pauter or Manly Turbo Tuff rods CP or JE Pistons, stock CR or 13.5:1 If I lower the CR to 10:1 etc, I'll be using a DI delete kit and running port injection only so I can run an aftermarket ECU Probably Beehive springs or something similar, they are all about the same price and I haven't read up on pro's and con's on both. ARP stud hardware King bearings I currently made 250kW on a Dyno Dynamics (similar to Mustang, lower than a DynoJet) on a 35 degree Celsius day after driving two hours and had traction issues so ran at 16 PSI. Next year I plan to build, tune to 20 PSI and add some Nitrous for kicks ;D |

Sorry guys for never responding!? But yo, how reliable would a built fa20 be for handing 8psi every day?

I blew my engine at less than 400 hp. A rod snapped. The bearing was not spun on the offending rod. I'd say anything over 300whp you are at risk.

Just build the engine to 500 whp specs and then never go over 300 whp. It's fool proof!

Of course! Rod gave up with no knocking or noises or any kind of warning. From great running to spectacular noise, smoke, and little metal pieces passing me along the pavement. I wasn't on it hard, it was raining, and I had just stabilized my speed at 40mph.
