[nivram]

Assuming you can properly fuel it, the factory internals can handle somewhere near 300whp. The misconception that the 420a will only handle ~200whp on factory internals (~8psi on something like a 16g) is due to the budget fuel system often used when boosting the 420a for the first time.

12:1 FMU + 235cc Injectors (stock) + 255HP = budget fuel system

1:1 AFPR + 1000cc Injectors + 255HP + MegaSquirt = top of the line fuel control.


With upgraded internals, the engine's physical potential rises.

appreciate the reply bro, i'll probably just keep it as my daily driver

how much would a rebuild cost?

 

[Locke]

That completely depends on you. The amount of machining, parts you choose, balancing, and whether you assemble the motor yourself or have a shop do it all effect price.

Start looking up parts prices and calling reputable shops.
