Need some thoughts
So I am a senior in high school and I have to do a senior project.
Which is pretty effing gay, but if I am going to do it it may as well benefit me.
Any way, I have been running ideas through my head for what to work on in my car, and I have pondered swapping, turbocharging, supercharging, and basic tuning.
But the truth is, I'm not very knowledgeable with anything listed above, I have a time frame of about 3 months, and my limit would be $1500 to 2000.
It is my daily driver so I can't just take my engine out for a month; it would have to be weekend work, and I am aware of how difficult that will make things.
What can I do, I would really like to work with my car?
Oh, by the way, I have groundcontrol/koniyellow suspension on ls webs, and I have myself a little intake.
So other than that. I would appreciate your guy's thoughts and opinions.
Thanks.

Re: Need some thoughts
Is this in the wrong forum what kind of car do you have.?
TURBO IT !! for sure.. i assume its still d series. find your self a greddy kit (they can be had for less than a grand). and bolt it on.. i am sure you can get it completed in a weekend its quite simple. espically if you do some reading on here before you jump into it. what i would do is dyno it before and again after and compare the results for the project. Maybe explain why the car makes more power with forced induction (again if you dont know why that is read on here or just google it.)
Good luck..
BTW I built a d series block for a senior project. It was fun.

Re: Need some thoughts
Yeah, ha ha, this is in the wrong forum.
I'm on some stupid laptop.
How do I remove a thread?
Thanks for the advice though; I was leaning towards turbo.
