I have a 96 420a or a 98 420a .The point is I know my engine is not running good right now im running 18s at palmdale with headers, warm air intake, exhaust,power cables, and modified transmission this is not good so Im about to rebuild my engine Im tossin a bottle of oil per week on the car. Car doesnt show much power this is my 2nd 420a engine. I got $3,500 to spend on a stage 1 hrc kit and rebuilding the engine i think thats enough Ive heard that theres a rebuild kit for like 500 bucks or something like that I want to upgrade my engine so I can run more boost if i upgrade turbo kit later on in life. for now im getting stage 1 hrc please help i need a rebuild kit so i can hold some turbo and the hrc stage 1 all for 3,500 can someone help me find the stuff I need? I'm getting the labor cheap but for the installation of the turbo kit I dont know and dont know where to go. I live in Los Angeles 213 area code.

If you could find a rebuild kit for 500$ id take one too! I think the best deal would be to get your block done at VT Engines. Its actually cheaper then many other places. Check them out.

damn mna 500 bucks. let me know where ill drive there with ya.

as for a rebuild kit. theres howell automotive, but thats around 1g.

on the turbo install, ill help ya out man, when do you head out to palmdale? never seen you there before have I? I drive the red 98 GS.

e mail me at chamukogs_t@hotmail.com
or pm me.

dont feel so bad, palmdale is f'd up for accurate runs, I ran a 16 on my auto.

with 4psi and an exhaust leak i ran 17.8

Let me know where you get your rebuilt kit done, how much, and what did they do. I live in SoCal also and problaly want to have mine rebuilt sometime. Thanks

You could check your compression. But since your going to rebuild anyways, nevermind. haha

Damn! I dropped $2500 to have mine rebuilt with JE pistons and Eagle rods plus a CAI in prep for a turbo... I want to run 15psi at least...

It would be best to have the internals replaced at the same time as the rebuilt to save loot if you are just going to end up doing it later...

Let us know how it goes tho....
