i want your guys opinions on wht to do and where to buy internals and parts to get me some extra horse..
i have intake and exhaust with headers on the way....so ANYTHING besides that and boost...and Nitrous..
im wanting to do internals but not sure what to do first and where to get things... PLEASE HELP!
are you eventually looking to boost? what are your goals? whats your budget?
i MIGHT boost later....but my goals are to get it built mechanically first and try to build the motor....hopefully 200HPgive or take....im not too sure what to to or what i will get....but my budget is low but im willing to save....so if its expensive...thats fine....i wanna know whats the best thing(s) to do for the money..
thank you
Save %20 of your paycheck for the next 6 months and see if you still want to do something with your car.
Also, there is no "maybe" to boosting. What you do with your motor will depend 95% on whether there will be forced induction or not. There's no point to buying parts that will just have to be replaced later.
fortune cookie say:
better a delay than a disaster.
to get to 200 horse without boost or juice on our motors you would have to do a lot of things that wouldn't work with boost later down the road. Your best bet is to whip out a peice of paper and make a plan now and decide where you want to go with things. There has been talk of na 200 hp 2200s, but i've never seen one. Thats probably not a great goal to set on a modest budget. I really like notec's idea. I wish I would do stuff like that, but its more like one compulsive purchase after another for me. If you are deadset on getting some more parts right away I would reccomend the 2.3 throttle body, port and polished head, and the roller rocker conversion. That should get ya movin', and those are good mods regardless of which way you go with the car.
where would i get the 2.3 body at?...cost?...is it the manifold too?....or just the body?....how hard to do and what gains?...
where do i get all the other @!#$?....hah....difficult to do?
thanks a ton man
2.3 tb. local junkyard priced between $15-$50 depending on location and rarity. as for the rest do a search, it will be far more benificial for both yourself and the jbo if you learn what that button does. once you search you will see just how many people ask this specific question.
i dont mean to be a jerk, i was in your shoes at one point in time (and for the most part i still am) but simple things like this are redundant.
so go ahead search, theres a couple of threads that answer everything you need to know, if you still have questions you can pm me as i have done the swap personally or you can post your question in one of the treads containg information pertaining to your question, that will most likely have people reading it that can answer your question.
ok...thanks for not flamin me
but is the TB all i need for the swap?
