[onesikteg]

[onesikteg]

How is 28k a lot?????
Mine has 208k

 

[heykosal]

maybe he meant 280k

 

[onesikteg]

yea 280k bro my bad

 

[Ballerin1]

So he's expecting to get 560k outta his motor? Cuz he was saying a turbo would cut the life in half, and if he already has 280k then yeah haha

 

[onesikteg]

thats y i was asking if a swap would be better...then go turbo

 

[Ballerin1]

Just run that motor til it blows up, then swap it.

No.

Swap in a fresh motor, then boost. You'll be MUCH more satisfied.

you can rebuild your current motor for lower compression and be able to handle more boost. :thumbs up
cp pistsons
crower turbo cams
crower valve train

Two facepalms? Ouchhh.

 

[BigMac88]

stealing my facepalm thunder eh? lol yeah the main thing you should do to a new motor or rebuilt old one: forged pistons and rods AND a good tune

Rebuild the motor, make your car nice. Don't buy it nice.
