Im looking into buy this 91 gsx, and the guy built the engine himself with the following stuff, he says he has receipts for it all. But tell me if it sounds well built...
The Built Motor:
Has a 8000rpm red line
O-ring Block (keeps from blowing head gaskets)
Arias piston .040 over bore and 9:1 compression for less turbo lag
Crower Rods
Crower Titanium Retainers
Kibblewhite Bronze Valve Guide
HKS Valve Springs
Speed Pro Rings
Mild Port Head
3 angle Valve Job
Stainless Steal Valves
Crank turned and balanced
engine balanced
balance shaft removed
SCE Copper Head Gasket
ARP Head Studs
New Timing Belt
New Timing Belt Tensioner
All Clevite Bearings are new
and more
Another question, how do the 9:1 comp pistons affect boost? Like is it dangerous to run alot of boost now, or maybe its ok cause its so well built? And how much boost would be safe to run in that engine?
Lastly, im gonna test drive the car soon, is there anything in particular i should look at? Im mainly interested in making sure that engine is working good and built like he says, so far im planning on doing a compression test. Any other suggestions, tips would be great. Thanks guys!
