you will be all ready for turbo, except that one small thing! THE TURBO (kit).

Bad idea imo...unless you have already paid for your kit and are just waiting for it to arrive.

Well I will definatly start piecing my "custom" turbo kit together in late december early january...if schedule continues as is planned... I will be fully pushing 18+ psi by Jan 31. So what like....3-4 months of no low end. Reason being those dates b/c in need of Xmas money and big 18th b-day in january money }(

BULLOX: BTW are those enkie cdr9s? They look nice anyways...I just bought my girlfriend some of those in 18s for her cougar...they sure do look sharp.

at least he's modding in the correct order. therotically, boost should come DEAD LAST in the order of modding. that way, the *least* amount of downtime/breaking stuff is a given.

Yay! I'm doing the right thing! :P

I'm avoiding the boost bug until I hit 200hp NA, I figure by then I'll know what I'm doing. ;)

Wow 200 NA Power!
:bowdown
More Power to you! Did you get 10.x CR pistons tho?

Mods before Broads, IMO

you're gonna be one slow and loud mofo. but hey, it will be worth it in the future.

>>Well I will definatly start piecing my "custom" turbo kit
>>together in late december early january...

Ah... we're going CUSTOM now... good decision! I have a few ideas for a wicked powerful turbo setup. We'll talk about it.

>>So what like....3-4 months of no low end.

Yeah... that's no big deal though. I did the same thing. You'll have less power than stock because of the lowered compression and oversized exhaust. But who cares?!? You'll be boosted more sooner than later and be making lots of power with those mods. On the other hand, why not just put the exhaust on when the turbo goes on? We'll be welding a custom downpipe and re-working the exhaust system anyways. You could just leave the stock exhaust and aftermarket muffler on until then, it's not hurting anything and would be less work. Either way will be just fine though... I guess it's just a matter of personal choice.

You'll need money... that's for sure! I hope your relatives are rich! :)

Speaking of money, I got a HUGE increase in salary today! That means there will be HUGE engine mods for me in the very near future! Yay! :7

TPIG,
Just dont put the 3"exhaust on until it practical, aka when turbocharged. I dont think you'll like it very much with it on.

thura(avenger) was running low comp na for a while. car ran great. at the dyno he even had more than stock output is supposed to be. now hes got that damn s20g, now hell really be slow :bowdown

Thuras head will milled to bring the compression back to near-stock on the 8.8:1 pistons.

Your car will be balls effin slow. I mean, 90wHP slow. Can't even get out of its own way slow. '69 Volkswagon beetle slow. Get it?

Put the 3" cat back on it. Screw it, you're not going to hurt anything - your car will be hard put to outrun kids on Huffies with 8.8:1 static compression NA. it's not gonna get any slower.

yeah, the 8.8:1 compression is going to hurt, but the 3" exhaust isn't going to hurt you, at all, no matter what anyone says. Anyone who tells you that you have to have backpressure to make torque is wrong. Period, no questions about it, they are dead fucking wrong, beacuse you don't. SportCompactCar cut off the exhaust on their NA SE-R and just welded on a 3" 3foot long pipe, and it made power at EVERY part of the power band. The EXACT same thing happened when they did that with a honda they had too, a FREAKING HONDA, the least torque having thing on earth made more torque with open exhaust. So yeah, the 3" will only help you. If anyone tells you different, spit at them for being stupid.

Yea Im definatly gonna put the exhaust on...its just to purty to be layin on my garage floor right now. I kno I will be slower than moses, but winter is coming around the corner...no need for speed...(ok maybe acceleration, which I wont have lol) As long as I can still pretend drift in icy parkin lots...I'll be fine during the winter :thumbsup
