I want 425awhp. So what did I do? Pull my engine and do a PTE 5857 build. It was the only logical choice that I had.

I'm bored at work, so I figured that I would start my build thread.

I have some really crappy pics that I took with my crappy cell phone (I know, double fail) and so I only have terrible pics to show you as of now. I'll take better ones later.

As far as the build goes, I want to keep it pretty basic.

-Engine
- IE rods w/ stock pistons new rings and rod bearings
- A refreshing hone for the block
- Port and polish AMB head
- AEB intake mani
- Exhaust valves
- Supertech valve springs w/ titanium retainers
- Stock cams (as of right now)

-Tuning/Fueling
- Probably Unitronic or Maestro... I want to run 1000cc injectors, so whoever can give me tuning for it
- 005 intank pump
- stock fuel lines w/ "returnless" system

-Cooling
- Treadstone TR10 w/ custom 2.5" piping
- Possibly W/M

-Turbo Stuff
- PTE HP5857SP (running like, 1 million PSI)
- Hoping the Treadstone manifold will fit, otherwise idk
- Tial wastegate
- Hallman MBC

-Exhaust
- Custom 3" downpipe w/ wastegate routed into it
- downpipe -> 24" cherry bomb 3" in/out to 2.5" Y to 2.5" out the back

-Clutch
- Something big and ugly from CM. I was thinking something like the FX850





Thanks to Clay@CTS for the Turbo and Clint@RAI for the awesome deal on the bottom end parts!

nice... good luck with the build

 

Thanks

 

You really should upgrade the fuel line to -6 which will flow more fuel then the stock. Once you start having a need for more fuel then what the line will flow you end up getting a pressure drop which in turn forces the ecu to open the injectors longer.

 

I'm pretty sure after I get it together I'm just going to switch it out with a B5 return system with -6an lines if I can't get at least 400awhp :thumbs up:

 

bottom end is assembled

sorry for the crappy pics

 

We were able to make 465whp on a B6 non return system with -6 line and 040 pump, no fuel pressure drop. After that point going b5 return setup helps since you would have to run 1000cc injectors just to reach 500whp on a non return system.

 

Thats some really good info.
