Buy new Motor or rebuild current?
I have a 95 Gsr with a greddy Turbo and large intercooler kit.
I am looking to either rebuild my motor to support more boost
or buy a new already upgraded engine from someplace.
Where is the better bang for your buck? I would eventually like
to be able to support 30psi.

Re: Buy new Motor or rebuild current? (barkeep3000)
are you asking me to pint out logic???????
new motor = almost zero downtime for your car - just a re and re.
your motor = two months downtime, nbut you gain a backup motor and have to take the bus

2 month downtime? How do?
It all depends on if you have the funds of course, but it too me 1 week to rebuild my motor.

Hey,
I have a 95GSR too and I am boost happy now. I'm having dreams of saving up the money and buying a JG totally built engine that I can abuse with some real horsepower and boost.
However, I am also considering that that much power in an Integra may not be the best street machine
Having seen what a twin turbo Supra can do I am thinking that may be an option in the future. I have mine boosted to 8+psi now and not even perfectly tuned and once you hit max boost its not that easy to control the car!
Anyone driving around on the street with 300HP Integras? How is it handling the power in the front wheels?

Thats true..but it doesnt sound like his car is down, sounds like he's still driving it right now. So order all the parts you need, once you have everything..start the project on a saturday..and by th next saturday you should be driving it again
