My 2.5L has about 8k on it now and I want more power. I have a 289 block and heads in the shop right now but I'm starting to look lustfully at the Hahn 20g-TD05H sitting on my shelf. I'm not going to ask permission to run three atmospheres of boost on hypereutectics and stock 2.5 rods, just spitballing, pros/cons of a small 8 vs a low boost turbo.
I might even get serious and source a 2.3 crank, eagles, and forged if I decide to go that route.
On one hand, if I go the 8 route I'll be carbing and I'll have to deal with the pissed off computer, on the other, if I throw a turbo on this I'll probably be looking at megasquirt to manage it.
Opinions from experienced hands?
No replacement for displacement
But if I go that route that I'll be looking at finding a T5 and an 8.8 as well....
