build up to T...????


I am hearing a lot of people who are in this forum who say they wish they would have gone to turbo from the start. I have a 2G 420 and I am thinking about changing over to turbo and I have heard from a lot of people that once this engine has a turbo added to it all of the kinks come out and you get all sorts of problems??? anyone got anything that I can say back to those guys in response?? They are all about the hondas and I wanted to be different with my car so I went DSM I want to turbo it but now they are telling me all this s*** about the problems in the car?? Anyone got any advice on what to fix/ build before the turbo???????????????

Just build up your motor first before you decide on turbocharging it, do the bottom and top end in it put stronger components in and a good fuel system. that should be the way to go if you wanna turbo ## car

I researched it myself for my car and what I came up with is that if you try and go cheap and take shortcuts, you will have problems, but if you do it correctly, like rebuild the bottom end, and buy a good turbo kit, you should be fine, however to do that it takes about 6-$7000 unless you know how to do it yourself. That's too much money for too little horsepower for my tastes. But it's up to you.
