Ok, I've got a 94 cord turboed. I just threw a rod last Sat. Well now I'm gettin ready to spend
$2500 on rods, valves,springs, retainers , arp head studs , engine rebuild kit, and one piston. After that the only thing on motor that will be stock is my trani. clutch is exedy. Now, what I want to no is should I get rid of the turbo? who else here hates their turbo. This is my first turbo. I've only had the car back for 3 months since I had the motor rebuilt for the turbo application. Is this going to be an on going thing? Is this turbo boing to keep ****** up my car?

 

*PERSONAL OPINION*

I think if you build your motor right (low compression, Fuel system, valve train & ect.) then you can boost 10-12 lbs. all day and be reliable , (but i think it has alot to do with the driver as well) there is alot of aspects to take into consideration on this subject if your going to dump a bunch of money in your engine do it right. if you go non turbo i have had a good expieriances with TODA piston for (high comp.)

Sorry if this does not help you.

 

here is what's in the car, long list. crower rods, wesico pistons 20 over, ferrea titanium valves, new honda valve springs/retainers , 450cc injectors, 255lph walbro fuel pump, aem fuel rail, aem fpr, aem timming gear,nology hot wires, tial 38mm wastegate,HKS bov, garrett t3/t4,chipped ecu (chrome), stock crank, stock intake.oh, and ARP head studs. Is this good enough?Also king racing rod bearings and main bearings.

 

i think you need to find out why it happen vs. do i want to do it again.

 

stock rod broke just under piston.
