Default Blew my engine...

Hey guys... Need your help
Currently I'm runnin' an H22 with a T3/T4 with a 50 trim and a 63 A/R...this is in a del sol... 2nd cylinder is going and I was wondering if I should build my H22 with Rods and pistons and if so which??? Or should I spend the time and hassle and go with a GSR motor??? I'm leaning towards the H22 but my buddy tells me a small car thats light needs a high reving motor? BUT ITS JUST TOO MUCH HASSLE! iono I have all winter to decide and save up.

rebuilding the h22 may be the cheaper way out. Small car? A del sol weighs alot more then a civic cx hatch. Stick with the h22

Smaller car I meant vs. an Accord or soj which would need more torque. I've always been show AND speed. I like my car looking good and going fast now that I've had the usual turbo probs I wanna get reliable again. If I build up it would be for reliability not power. I know the Del Sol is close to the same wieght as an ex civic but all that torque on the low end on front wheels??? too much or no. With my old set up I was breaking loose a lot and it became a prob to hook up. I'm happy with the speed I can acomplish I just want to be able to drive my car more then I am working on it.

u can always get a LS motor and boost that. somewhat safer to boost with stock internals. potential power setup and it does the job at a good price. those motors arent expensive. its only as reliable as your install and maintenance.
