Modifying 91 945t 900 1991

posted by  someone claiming to be Americanmike on  Sun Apr 10 06:25 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I have a 91 945T wagon with the B230ft
I have had the car since i bought it new, i love it and i dont want to have to part with it. that said, the car is up to 130k, i know this is the point near where the turbo usualy fails on these cars. In a recent test i found that i'm getting 95% of spec compression on 3 cylinders (1,2,4) and only 75% on number 3. The car still runs great and has lots of power.

I wanted to get some opinions on where to go with the car from here. I'm trying to figure out if it would be better to go with a new block or bore this one out. i have wanted to convert the engine to a 2.5L, and do a number of other mods to it.

I have a modified Hybrid KKK turbo sitting in a box in my garage for the engine. I would like to put a 3" turbo back exaust onto the car. from looking around i havent found any one who has done this but i was wondering about putting the 16V head onto the b230/250ft block

I have been told that because the engine has a very short stroke, the engine if in good condition is easily capable of 7.5-8k rpm. the only ECU i can find that could allow for this is the one from BSR (http://bsrab.se/products/n339/t772/)

I run the front end (service writer) for a honda rice shop, the guys in the back all owe me favors so i'm only looking at costs of parts. (no labor costs)
however i have no clue where to find anything other than IPD
please clue me in on where to get parts and possibly an idea of a complete system. i'm looking to go to 240-280HP without running over 13lb of boost

many thanks
