i just purchased a 94 jdm gsr swap and i wanted to know if it would be a good idea to get head work and a block guard in order to get the most power with out having to build the bottom end? and if so what kind of parts should i use for the head? as far as my plans go i plan to keep this car as a daily driver so i would like to use a side mount manifold (so i can keep my AC) and i will more than likely use a sc61 turbo (unless there is another set up that would get me more power gains), thanks all the help that i can get is much appreciated.

I wouldn't stress the head to much nor would I attempt to put in a block guard without touching the bottom end. If you were to do anything at all, I would suggest a set of ITR cams and that's about it. Otherwise, just drive it like it is. A good conservative tune by someone who knows what they are doing will be a lot better insurance than any block guard on the market.

Ummm, some ok, headwork is gonna cost you at least $500. Some good **** will cost you $1k-$1400 (or more). Pistons ~$400, rods $300. Install of pistons and rods, bore, hone.....~$300-$500 (just a guesstimate).

Max hp (safely anyway)

Built head, stock block: 300whp

Stock head, semi-built block: 400whp

So semi-built block total: $1k-$1200

Built head total: $500-$1500

Now which option suits you better??? You decide........GL.

drive it till it blows..then build it

build the bottom end and forget about it....headwork isn't really that necessary until you're making higher hp numbers....
