ok first off i have a 1995 gsr..
im the 2nd owner of this car..1st owner was a middle age cupple female driven.
it just rolled 175,2xx i was wondering if i could turbo it safely at like 5-7psi...for a daily driver??? i want reliabillity out of it dont have enought $$$ to bulid the motor right now...

 

boost the piss out of it

 

It's reliable now, running fine with high mileage. If you don't have the money to build it now, don't boost.

If you absolutely have to have boost, trade in the car or sell it and get yourself a SRT or any other stock boosted vehicle that will be covered by a warranty.

Harsh sounding I know, but truth..

 

yea i dont have the money to bulid my car or buy a new or used srt-4

 

just take steps to make sure you do it right.

possible steps -
a) compression check
b) new head gasket
c) proper tune


i could keep a list going, but if you take the correct steps and everything checks out, it should be fine.

 

how do you have money to boost it then?

 

i have enough money to boost just not enough i bulid bottom and top end

i done a compression test same all the way across also

 

all i gotta say is, dont go junkyard/ebay style turbo kit.

it will cause more problems then its worth.

 

On hondas, you don't need a headgasket. But good advice otherwise

Then what was the compression? Was a leakdown test performed?

Only thing headwise I would do is new seals and maybe some valve springs and retainers. Maybe a Mill.

Bottom end. Have fun

Turbo kit. Don't be ghetto. My old kit had roughly 900 bucks into it and I had alot of quality parts.

Get a good tuner. I can name off 3. Shad. Patrick at MRD. Matt Shue.
