A good search in this section would answer most of your questions. Head work can be done by Steve on here (Benross) excelent service and quality of work. Cam choice, kent 266 seems popular, has been some thought / talk that the sw5 may work well, also std metro cam. As for BHP depends on boost level which you will be governed by you CR, aim for 8.4:1, I believe there are a few cars on here running 10psi and not too shy off 100bhp (somone correct me if im wrong, please). Why megasquirt? are you thinking of efi later? If not megajolt is ample. As for trigger wheels, again a search WILL come up trumps, Tom fenton may have a batch to sell, but cannot confirm.
Hope this helps

Instead of running a decompression plate ( Which is junk) get the CR lowered properly. You might even consider finding a 295 head.

i am not to keen on using a 295 head as there close to 100 pound and i would rather pocket the block as i might need to remove the turbo at some point and would like to run a 1275 head on my 998

so is it best to run my 998 with a turbo distributor or just a stand distrib

If you are worried about spending £100 on a cylinder head I suggest you turn around and walk away from the idea of turbocharging.

Thats not much of an "idea" to be honest. Whay do you want megasquirt if your using a metro turbo carb? Megajolt is what most use for ignition but if you won't spend £100 on a head then you won't like paying for Megajolt. Lots of people have started making trigger wheels recently so you obviously haven't been looking hard enough.

Nobody will make you a manifold unless you hand over about £300 as they are a pain in the tits to make.

For a cam, as Shane said either a Metro NA (available new as a Kent 255) or SW5.

You haven't talked about a fuel pump, gearbox, clutch, diff or anything else. Best get searching

Actuall Megasquirt has lots of advantages ove Megajolt, even if you are only using the ignition part. It has loads more inputs and outputs for monitoring etc.

The Kent equivalent is 500

You can use the MS direct to the coil, but we still use an EDIS. In total they cost less than £100 all fitted and working. But we bought lots and saved a bit of money.

Just to add to the above, we use the MS for puel pump control, shift light, Lambda. We have the option to add two temperature inputs for engine and air, then various other bits like TPS. We can connect it up to a palm for a half decent dashboard as well. So all in all well worth it over the MJ IMO.

While I am aware of the differences between MJ and MS (well, vaugely) I just thought that it was unusual that someone asking basic spec build questions would want MJ. I just thought he got his terms mixed up

And I did just cock up the cam info :$

Considering we're dealing with blister and his never ending questions on the same subject, I think you are right that he probaby wants MJ rather than MS.

I know I'm not Wil..... but I bought mine in kit form direct from the States about a year ago. At that time ($2 to £1) it was a lot cheaper than sourcing it in the UK. DIYautotune are the biggest suppliers out there and regularly ship to the rest of the world, but there are others. Not sure of their current price, look at their website.

In standard form it drives a single coil or EDIS (for a coilpack) but with a very simple change internally and using the "Extra" code, it will drive a coilpack direct. There are a couple of people who build them "to order" in the UK to whatever spec you want, I just chose to do it myself.

As well as the additional bits Wil and Ben have mentioned, thanks to the excellent work by Jean (see the injection specific parts of the forum) we now have a real way forwards with multipoint, direct port, fuel injection as well.

oi lol i know i have alot of questions i have still read over my last posts lol dont be nasty

i thought that i would be able to control and monitor my engine with mega squirt i thought jolt was the same though

i am not wanting to spend 100 on a head because when i look on ebay they look like they have been messed about with and i want to run alot of boost i am unsure if i would be able to go more in to depth with turboin but i was considering purchasing a t2 but and adaptor but if i cant run much boost and i wont get much power without putting a 295 head on i dont think i will carry on i really need to think about this there is only 5 pages in david vizards book for turboin :(

sorry about the spelling and other things i have dyslexia

About 12psi with a T2 and decent intercooling. To me that qualifies as 'alot of boost'. If its a road engine, and you dont want it to blow up often.
