Re: engine help (92lxsedan)
plus the nice thing about homemade turbo setups if you want to go cheap u can do a whole kit for around 900-1100 bucks and buy 1 part at a time since your ona budget

Re: engine help (92lxsedan)
im sorry but i/h/e on a stock d series is worthless...just a big waste of money imo.. on a budget id run some nitrous...5 or 6 bills and you have an extra 50 hp when you need it...compared to about 1k for a homemade turbokit...the turbo is worth the extra money if done right...if not done right it will cost you alot more!
