hey guys...i have a low mileage B16A2 block, with a low mileage gsr head on it...i know, its a funny hybrid but its what i got...

now should i drop 1200 bucks or whatever on a low (7) psi turbo or should i swap the block to a gsr and then have no money left???

it seems like both routes cost the same amount...which will i be more pleased with??

by the way, my goals are just to have a fast and dependable car that can maybe run 13's on the weekends...

on this next question, i know you guys will say search, but with my funny hybrid i dont know which is best...
if the turbo is the way to go, then which should i choose with this setup that will be relatively inexpensive but VERY RELIABLE...i dont mind spending a little more to get more reliability...thanks for the help guys

 

anyone???...help a newbie out please!!!

 

please, any suggestions???

 

your not going to be able to turbo your car for 1200 bucks better off just getting the gsr block and then saving for a turbo

 

give us more details, like what kind of car its in

 

well you know, not exactly 1200 bucks, but i mean i think swapping the block and slapping on a turbo would be roughly close in price???

correct me if im wrong please....

also, this is in a 98 GSR...

if i swap the block i would probably just swap in like a bigger B20 block and then buildup NA...

what to do...what to do...

yes you can, easily.

 

mot easy for $1200 but it can be done. your fine with the b16 block the gains would be 1/10th of the power youd get from turbo. just so you know manufactors kits like drag and revhard around $2,500-$3,000 for a basic kit.

 

so i should definitely turbo over swapping the block???...

anyone else with a good opinion??...also, where and how can i do this 1200 turbo???...thanks for the advice guys

 

anyone??

 

what kind of mileage on the b16 block? if not high, booost it

 

I hope I get some points taken off for saying this but.....


DO YOU PEOPLE SMOKE CRACK!!!!!

Keep the B16 Block & boost that ****!

what kind of gains are you expecting from .2 liters
Yes it's a given that the GSR bottom end is stronger and is going to give you more torque but not $1200 worth IMO.

your motor setup should easily make 300WHP with a decent kit.

 

fo real yo

 

so i should definitely boost and not worry about trying to swap my stupid block???..

now like i said, what is the most cheapest turbo i can get and still be pretty reliable...

i know this may be a more opinion question but i really do need help here...

TOTAL TURBO NOOB!!!

 

I say do some research on motors and turbos then boost the b16
