All Motor or Turbo Kit???????

[geovanie]

I just got a JDM 4g63 installed with about 55k miles. I went ahead and got a newer tranny and an ACT 2600 clutch kit. So, now I'm in between of either going all motor or drop a turbo kit. The thing is the turbo kit will send me back more than $6k with custom built exhaust manifold, huge FMIC,and complete fuel management. The guys at Dynamic Turbo in Miami tell me I'll be in the low 12's with that setup which is what I'm looking for, but $6k it's quite a bit of dough! How much will going all motor cost? And how quick will I be? I also see it as a way of building the engine so that maybe in a year I can drop the turbokit with a crazy 23-25 psi maybe? But my main question is how much will it aprox cost for going all motor and I don't know squat about doing the work myself so I guess that's a big $$ factor too, and how fast will I be?

So you have the rare non-turbo 4g63 first gen? Why would turboing a non-turbo 4g63 set you back 6 grand? All you need is a few parts from another 1g.

Turboing your car would be waaaaaay cheaper than producing the same numbers all motor. Especially being you have a 4g63 and you can simply put together a turbo kit with used parts.

The thing is I don't know much about this so I wouldn't know where to start buying. I would need a list of things to buy. And how cheap would it be? How much can another setup cost running about 9 psi?

How fast would I be with a rebuilt bottom end with crower rods, JE pistons, and rebuilt polished head, cams, adjustable cam gears, titanium valves and springs, retainers, fuel management and a nice 70 shot of nitrous? Also aprox how much will it hurt my bank account

I think you just broke the record for asking the most questions in one sentance, slow down sparky. First of all, you get way, WAY more bang for your buck by going with turbo/nitrous. For now just turbo your stock internals a little and save up for pistons and rods, then turn the turbo up, it is a cycle. Get the picture. And look on either 1000 already asked dsm questions or whatever it is or there may be a vfaq on it. chris
