I have been researching the 5431E .63A/R and putting an ATP ultimate wastegate on it. How do you like your 5857?

I highly recommend the 5857 with the billet wheel. Boost comes on at 3,500rpm and really hits hard at 4,000rpm. I suggest going the route I took and getting the .82a/r turbine housing and having a wastegate welded to the top of it.

I need to go hop on a dyno to see what I'm putting down but the torque is incredible and hp seems to be in the 350whp range @ only 16psi.

Sorry I haven't updated this in a while. I bought a K24 which I will run for a while till I get tired of its power. Got an awesome deal on it locally.

Hey where did you guys order main/rod bearings and piston rings from? Im going to be using stock size. We opened up another block and it is in fantastic shape. Dropping it off at the machine shop tomorrow. I ended up having a slight bend in one of the stock rods. Not noticeable at all but you could tell by the wear on the cylinder wall.

Nice rn head Val!

This waa quoted from Jeff, "volvo5.0" in another thread.

"rod bearings.....Clevite CB1825P.... rockauto.com

main bearings.....OE....I couldn't find aftermarket"

I used all oem bearings. The crank and block tell you what size bearings you need and where they go.
