Re: Realistic NA Build HP.
What makes sense is to keep my current turbo setup and send some cash to make it reliable(knock monitoring, and good internals) agreed with this (and yoshi) from the getgo. You're off to a good start imo I'd focus on good tuning above all else . Fix the crankcase breathing too Better internals woul...

Re: Realistic NA Build HP.
that link says nothing technical mumbo jumbo wont do much good. As requested, some specifics would help. show the guy how "not hard to do" it is to reliably track a 4agte...... since he has locked himself into that F20 needs no tuning. Swap them in then go to work. Yes, we can call it the ...

Re: Realistic NA Build HP.
a motor has limits. Physical as well as thermal When "pushed", a smaller boosted motor will reach its limits long before its normally aspirated counterpart Whats to disagree with ? why do u think folks spend so much on a F20c ? Yep, a decent 4agte will outaccelerate it on a short burst Tak...

Re: Realistic NA Build HP.
turbo vs na has everything to do with reliability.... especially on a race track and novice tuned. Stop fooling yourself OEM vs d.i.y. is a poor analogy, and even many hi mileage oem fail at the track..... religiously something as simple as oil drainback or inadequate crankcase venting can wipe out ...

Re: Bigport build advice
I also know for a decent turbo I would spend just as much as I would for what I'm looking at. If I wanted full on power I would have put a rover v8 in the car, as it is my goal is to have it a little faster than new family cars. So increased compression and cams with a few other mods will get me th...

Re: Bigport build advice
kinda why, for a daily driven puny motor, I would steer most folks toward 'boost'. Broad/more torque will bring the fun. A big grin is much harder to wipe off :) Dump a load of cash into a 16v and you'd be lucky to match a BT 20v. Many sr20, rz, uz swaps etc..... begin with the removal of a built 16...

make sure u know what you're gettin into..... a normally aspirated 1.6 has to be 'peaky and noisy' just to b "quick" Sux for a daily driver. U may grow tired of it after a while For 2k, it would still b no comparison to a gze(if ya can find one).... or even the most basic entry level d.i.y...

a member way back sprayed a set of those ebay lights wuth a red candy?/translucent paint and they looked just as good as any of those oem posted imo. Won't rival oem quality, but I was surprised how good they turned out actually. Probably saved a pix on my laptop.

Re: Dash refurb: what fabric?
One thing to note though. If your car sits out in the sun a lot, I probably would advise against the cap since they are thin and would warp from excessive heat.
unless you're in the habbit of using windshield visors (like me). Makes a world of difference

Re: 4ac auto tranny on 4ag?
if none of the fwd flex plates could work, and ya reeeaalllyy wanted an auto in there...... I guess you could look into having the 4ac flex plate 6 holes plug welded, machined flat then redrilled to 8.
there is a 6/8-hole spacer or shim? there as well. Can't remember if the fwd had one
