I am looking into buying a turbo kit, more of a christmas present, but I don't want it to be expensive, but I want it to be worth while, hence not break at all. More reliable.

If you have any suggestions let me know.
Thanx again!

 

Cheap, turbo, and reliable don't belong in the same sentence. The only way to make it cheap is to piece a kit together.

Both of those kits you listed are complete junk.

 

Aight, I appreciate it. How much does it cost to piece a kit together, also how am I going to piece it together?
You have any examples?

 

It depends on what parts you use. You will have to buy the turbo, manifold, piping, oil lines, intercooler, fuel management, injectors, etc. With piecing a kit together, you will most likely have to have a good amount of custom fabrication to get the downpipe and intercooler piping to bolt up.

 

Well, I already have a VAFC 2, that should work, correct?

 

That is the LAST thing I would use for tuning a boosted motor.

I really recommend a chipped ECU running Crome, Uberdata, Hondatata or a standalone unit like the AEM EMS if you really care about the longetivity of the engine and its reliability.

 

Alright well I just decided against getting a turbo. I am jsut going to go as far as i can with N/A. I am going to get a set of Crane Cams and Crane Cams Cam gears. Rehone the cylinders and replace the picton rings. Along with a few other things, like shaving my head. I am planning on shaving it to .010. Is that aight? I want some higher compression.

 

Well, I want to get more compression out of my car, but I don't have money for the Rods and pistons, so I figured I would get a 2 layer head gasket, and get my head shaved .010. This would give me about 11.1 to 1 compression. Has anyone else had a shaved head out there, and how much better does it feel?

 

Shaving the head and using a thinner headgasket isn't something I would recommend for increasing your compression. Do it right the first time and put a higher compression piston in there. A stock P73 piston will easily raise the compression for you for a decent price.

 

So I jsut need to get Stock 81mm P73 Pistons for my car, and get them put on my PR3 rods, and that will raise my compression? IS shaving my head a bad thing?
