I drive a 95 gsr and i am thinking about going with a rev hard turbo kit. The motor has 90 thousand miles and runs great. i was just wondering if the turbo idea was ok. i dont have the money to blow my engine and i heard pushing 8 pounds of boost would be fine. Also were should i get the kit from and were should i get it put on at or just do it my self.

 

get a compression check first to see if its safe to boost...better to be safe than sorry

 

A compression check wont really tell you if its "safe" to boost. It will help tell you teh condition of the motor. And if that condition isnt to great, then boosting wouldnt be the best idea. What you need to do is find out how strong the bottom end is.

 

I would go custom. It will end up costing you about the same as a kit (if you buy all NEW parts), but you'll get exactly what you want, rather than what the kit comes standard with.

 

how would i check the bottom end. also i heard that putting a kit together would only save me a couple hundred and a kit would be the best way to go.

 

It's the best way to go....if you're too lazy to do the research to put together your own setup. Depending on the kit you are getting, it could end up being cheaper OR more expensive going custom. My point was that for around the same cost you have the option of getting every part that YOU really want.

 

You wouldnt really open it up and look, you need to do some research. Find out what people who have done this before have been able to run with a stock bottom end.

 

does anyone know anoyone who has a gsr turbo with the stock bottom end.

 

Custom!
