Avenger 420a / GS-T Engine Swap !?!

Thanks for all the great advice (both ways)

What the hells up with Hahn ??? they don't list any damn prices at all...
Anyone know their pricing ???

I am leaning towards the turbo kit at this point... It seems a allot easier, and will probably wind up costing about the same in the end.
Plus, it's something I can do most of myself... That is 1 thing I am enjoying about this little hobby... Allot of hopped up euro's out there... the owners are just pawning off the work to the speed, and body shops. There is nothing wrong with that at all !!! But I enjoy the fact, that when someone sees something they like about my car, and ask where I got it done, I can say....
I did it ! And no, I do not have a body or mechanics shop :)

How about some opinions on the paint scheme and custom wing I'm making ???

Listen here deebo, i dont care who you know. I dont care if they guy in the turbo GS gets killed by GSTs all day. There is more to winning a race than how much money was put into the car. You still haven't answered how good of a driver he was, and wether it was auto or stick. But even more impotant that that, is how WAS IT TUNED. If it was tuned properly it would easily beat a stock gst.

Oh yeah, and learn how to spell. I think my 8 year old cousin can spell better than you buddy.
 
a turbo 420a done right can be very fast.. i wouldn't be surprised at all to see kirby take a LS1 from a roll.. a lot of you 4g63 people are in denial and need to accept the fact that the 420a can do just as much, jsut costs a little more and doesn't have an AWD choice..

True But how r we in DENIAL i know that a gs with a turbo kit can be very fast my point is just the same as eclipsed95 do the swap cuz no one els has it done alltho money is a big deal But i if u get ahold of a jacked 2g dsm it well be frally cheap if u do work your self but buying a turbo kit well most likly be the esayst way to go
 
Ok this is an email that i recived from our little friend DeeBo here...

"This is a message from DSMtuners.com member "DeeBo":

F(&K u grow up and its a stick and was done by one of the highst looked apound shopes in SW FL
So go some where with your bs talking non turbo POS
And let me know if you r comeing down to FL and time soon"

Seriously dude, grow up. If he has a stage 2, and knows how to drive stick he WILL NOT lose to a stock gst. Get over your precious 4G63, and realize that it isn't the almight engine. Oh and yes my non turbo is a POS, real mature buddy. How old are you 8? Maybe 9? Haha nice spelling too...."shopes" "comeing". Haha, and how about some periods or comman. You got one big sentece there. A real pain in the @ss to read. Not to mention a waste of my time. Get a life.

i said SOME are in denial.. i've seen that swap done, it's not fun, and it costs almost as much as a new car. you are basicly replacing everything but body, interior, and frame. aeverything, and i mean EVERYTHING else gets changed. liek welding? you'll be doing a lot of it. probably some cutting too. not worth it to put that much money into making a GS-T. if you havea 420a and want turbo FWD, turbo the 420a. the swap is retarded, you might as well keep the NT and just BUY a GS-T, it would hardly cost more.

i have seen kirby's car in person, and its a beautiful and awsome car, very fast.
 
Hey HighPSITsiGuy...now I know why I mainly stick to 2GNT.com, and MachV. Less people like this to deal with. Cool to see you are on this board too though.
