Rb25de+t reliability if done correctly r33 s1

G'day everyone I have a doozy of a pickle. I have built a rb25de+t with good bolt on equipment front facing plenum, big front mount, standard exhaust manifold and a new standard turbo 

the problem is we got the car running okay with a few mods like injectors and adjustments of tps sensor 

so I took the car to a track day to practice drifting and it was going well until it started to misfire cylinder 6 so we found out that I either have a hole in the piston or blew the head gasket or a valve (I'll have it apart this arvo) 

but now I was really happy with the power it put down thinking roughly 200-250 kw and now I'm asking is it possible to beef up a rb25de (a lot cheaper than a det) and get a good tune adjust timing fuel and everything else, I like the power of high compression I'm thinking a thicker good quality head gasket and bolts but unsure how the internals will hold 

welcome to all comments??

Depends on what you mean by "beef up" if by that you are going to throw a decent set of rods and pistons at it and some head work then the sky (or more likely your wallet / fuel system) is the limit. If you are only planning on the gasket and bolts then you will be limited in what you can throw into it safely and that will also be dependent on your combustible of choice (98 or E85). The goal that you have *should* be reachable with a stock bottom end in good condition and reliably so if you are careful with the tune. 

On the bright side keeping your normal DE compression and slightly lower boost might be a good idea to make it as usable as possible - most factory turbo cars these days are shipping with >=10:1 compression for the simple reason that they are trying to make best use of small turbos and create the illusion of a larger motor rather than the laggy huge boot in the pants 1980's turbo experience.

Cheers for the reply man:) I'm think a head gasket and bolts keep internals the same maybe oil squirters and methane injection to keep piston temp down with high compression

Turns out there is a slight crack in head gasket and was some gunk under the exhaust valve 

in thinking of running e85 on a high compression low boost with 250kw in mind apparently e85 likes high compression?
