Ok, about 4 months ago my T-belt was shredded (should went with factory :cry: ) and I bent 15 valves, bad, I bent them bad. Well, I got a job 5 weeks ago, and have saved as much as possible: $1118.xx (Im 18 and a mechanics apprentice, I know its not much, but I don't do much...) I want to get my car running, but not replace ANYTHING with factory parts. Can you guys give me some suggestions with what to go with?

I was thinking:
P&P head with 3-angle valve job (complete, my valvetrain+cams are DONE)
2G pistons+1G rods (if my rods are bent, would they be??)
2G turbo manifold (mine has a crack all the way around it, so why not)
HKS 272/272 cams

Well, that is the ste up I'm going for right now. Anyone have any ideas/suggestions? mabey I could get the same HP from a cheaper route, something like that? :confused:

first off i doubt your rods are bent so that takes care of that. mild port but no polish. leave the 1g pistons. get the 2g manifold but if your gonna get cams (dont know why you need them) get the hks 264/272 setup. is the car stock?
 
The car is stock, but thats the reason I want to do all of this...I want to get most of the internal #### done at once, so I dont have to pull all this again...I wanted to get a pretty stout head+the 2G pistons, so I could run that little bit more boost once I get the supporting mods comming...

Thanks for the help
 
For your budget I suggest going with the 91 Big Rods, 95 Pistons at 8.5:1 compression. You should take the block to a machine shop with the parts and have them assemble it, balance the rotating assembly and remove the balance shafts. Mind you, make sure you take it somewhere where they know what there doing.
