Ran across these and i not only need a rebuild soon but im planning on turboing sooner or later. Moneys tight and what i have i would like to use toward some power gain, so does anyone think these arent reliable or a waste of money?

Find out what compression ratio they are first.second is it in ## budget.third will it be cheaper than a stock oem rebuild.I'd say rebuild and sell ## car and get a turbo car will be cheaper in the end.

Compression is 8:8:1 and i can afford THIS set. It wont be cheaper than a stock rebuild and my car is not worth 1500 therefore i plan to stick with it till i get out of college. ( plus it has sentimental value :])

Keep in mind that if you do go with 8.8cr your car will be slow without a turbocharger.. So if you do this build and decide to not go forced induction for a while your car will be slow as all balls...

Forged internals also take a long time to warm up and usually drive like crap until the get fully warm. If this is your daily driver then you may want to take that into consideration. Forged internals are the way to go if you are looking for big power, but they don't make for very friendly daily drivers.
