HI
I'de like to ask that are there oil squeezesrs too in the nonturbo BP engine like in the GTX?

I read somewhere that the oil squirters are a BPT feature only .. I may be wrong but I am pretty sure the standard BP doesnt' have them ....

I've heard differently. I think all BP series engines have them.

Marlon

so do the dohc b6's

All the BP blocks have oil squirters.
The rods are identical. The pistons are different, yes, from a GTX or GT-R engine vs a BP or B8.
On stock internals, the BP and GTX engines can withstand 1.5-1.6 bar (1.5b=21 psi), where 1.6 bar shouldn't be sustained for a long period of time.

As for the B6T, it can be made into a moster. If there is no particular reason you have for wanting to stay with a B6T, you should look into dropping in a BPT. Course, you mentioned you're on a budget, so sticking with a B6T, you really don't have worry about upgrading the suspension as you would dropping in a BPT. If you can wait, just get ahold of a BPT on the side, and while you're waiting for cash to build up, replace all the seals/gaskets on the BPT, maybe replace the oil rings, replace the valve stem seals, and buy other misc parts you need as time goes by.

If you really can't go that route, at least replace the valve stem seals and all the seals/gaskets on the B6T you find. If you don't, you'll prolly look at having to do it a year from the time you put the engine in. Doing it now, or after you find your engine and before you drop it in, will be hella easier than having to take the engine out again and do it. GEH. It's a real PITA.

As for the FMU, most of them are piggybacks, and piggybacks don't work well with our ECUs. There are a few cheap mods you can do to tide you over until you find enough cash to buy a standalone computer. I'd say stick with stock boost until you save enough cash to buy a standalone, then drop in a boost controller and have some fun. The stock turbo on a B6T can only put out 14psi, but there is a mod you can do, which requires buying a turbine from a subaru and mating one half of it to the B6T's half. (I forget which half you take from the subaru, but I'm sure you can find it on the net easily. Cam did it with his B6T that he dropped into a wicked looking Ford Festiva.)
Doing this well get you massive boost and well over 250hp.

Hrm. I'm ranting again.

Hope some of this helps.
Later on.

I would first worry about trying to acquire a B6T. From all the ill-outdated websites and waitlist for a B6T, Im gonna go on a limb here and say its kinda hard to find. BPs are everywhere and can be outfitted like a paratrooper. Anyone with current information on availability of B6Ts?
