A friend of mine wants to rebuild the entire engine on his si to prep it for a turbo. He has people lined up to do it for him, but this is my ?:

In your opinion, if you had $7500 to dump into the engine of this car, what would you do? I am looking for lists of specific parts, including a full rebuild, turbo kit, and an lsd.

He is looking to lower compression, what do you recommend? Any input is appreciated! This car also still needs to be daily driven.

 

i will go allmotor ls/vtec

 

He is certain he wants to go turbo. Any suggestions?

 

he should start an account on here himself and start reading, researching before asking generic questions like this.

 

Yea I know, but he is not really into computers, at all. He asked me to ask you guys for advice...

 

if you have that much you might as well sleeve it (benson), get some nice rods some like arias pistons (9:1 is prett much ideal but can go higher), get a valve job and port job, nice set of turbo cams, and get a full race turbo kit since they seem to have a good following. Get OEM headgasket, get the crank micropolished and balanced, and get a nice clutch. Walbro fuel pump, 3 bar map sensor, 1000cc injectors....the list goes on but you get the idea.

Oh almost forgot get a nice tuning program like crome pro or hondata or something of the sort...this is the part of the build which can make or break ya.

 

Nice, what I was looking for. Is there any way you could provide me a list of every part this would entail, if you have time to do so.
