boost the piss out of it

DeFunk

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.

ryanherington

how do you have money to boost it then?

95gsrMatt

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

nismo

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.
