Id be down when I get the car going......I'm in riverside

 

[urmomsaniceguy]

Cool. What part? What's wrong with it?

 

[SoCalK61000]

Well I work in riverside and live in running springs (by big bear), as far as what's wrong with the car well it needs an engine . I do still have the spyder that I'm DD right now but I don't like to drive it

 

[urmomsaniceguy]

Have it rebuilt or look for a 6 bolt and do the swap.

The Spyder engine is fine......I just picked up a gs that has a bad engine that's the one that I'm talking about

 

[brane_97talon]

speaking of 6 bolts...i have a spare one of those as well...

The GS has a 420a in it tho :/

I'm debating on what I'm gonna use to rebuild it now, weather it will be forged or stock I'm planning an boosting but only 8-10 lbs at the most

 

[urmomsaniceguy]

Personally my cousin had a Honda turbo and the max he got was 8psi. When he went to 10-12 the bottom end was toast. So I would go forged with a lower compression and arp head studs. Better to be safe than sorry.

 

[urmomsaniceguy]

Also socal there is a place in san berdo called southwest motors. They have been around since my pops was a kid. They rebuilt my old 420a motor and did a hella good job and reasonable on price. I'll try and find the number and post it.

Thank you for the advice and the # I have no problem building the engine myself I work for a perfomance shop and all we do is high performance work and restorations so its no big deal to build it myself.

As far as the honda goes I had a single cam civic that I bosted 18-20 lbs on with a stock bottom end and it did well for a while for me, I'm just trying to figure out what the weak link is on the 420A I don't want to go overboard if its not needed seeings how a stock rebuild will be about 500 and forged internals will double that price

 

[urmomsaniceguy]

Yeah you probably had the zc motor . But the 420a is a Chrysler motor so its a weak link itself . I would say go for the forged just to play it safe.

Lol no zc single cam d16 had a zc in my crx tho

Yeah that's what I'm thinking but my wallet isint wanting to agree with that.

And yeah I'm slowly figuring out that the 420A is just a turd motor, looking to maybe do the 2.4 swap but not sure about that yet either

 

[urmomsaniceguy]

2.4 from what car? The spyder engines i don't fit. I'm sure you could make it a stroker. Or maybe fabricate one to fit in it.

Parents divorced but my Dad is still up there. What part of Running Springs are you at? I may roll up there after my talon gets fixed. We should have a mini meet
