i have a 90 lazer non turbo can i just bolt on a turbo kit. i heard that i could only run 3 psi max because of my pistons. whats my options here?

You Could Throw A Turbo On It... But What Would Be The Point? If You Only Goin To Be Able To Run 3psi Why Even Do It. All Your Goin To Do Is Spend Alot Of Money For Nothing. If I Was You.. I Would Actually Try And Find A Junk Yard Motor And Rebuild It Or Buy A Motor From Japan And Put It In Your Car. Make Sure Its The Turbo Motor Though. My Friend In Vegas Has A T304b On His 97 Rs And He Paid 3500 For The Kit. (waste Of Money!!) Dont Turbo The Non Turbo Motor Unless You Build It Up. Hope That Helped

bye the way i type??? if your talking about the caps thing its not me... my office computer does that from time to time. and from what ive been told by everyone i know.. its pointless to turbo the nonturbo unless you build the bottom end up. my friends rs is only running 5-6psi with a t03/04b. the cylinder head is the same as the turbo but the cams are different. ive had 2 of these cars and my last one i did all the work on and the only problem i had with it was blowing the 14-b. it would be a better idea and cheaper if he just bought the 4g63t and put it in or rebuilt a junkyard turbo motor and put it in. been there done that and turbo kits for non turbo cars are expensive and take alot of time. better to start off with something stronger.

1) Its "by the way i talk" not "bye" Bye is saying goodbye to someone
2) i agree its better to start off with something stronger but he obviously doesnt/cant. So why tell him its pointless? Its his choice, his car, his money.
3)I believe the 1st gen non turbo motors can handle up to 10psi of boost.

First off are you running a 1.8L or 2.0L? My friend turboed his nt 92 2.0L and was able to run 9 Psi of boost. Then when he could afford it he swaped in a turbo 4G63.

all i know is that you can pick up a wrecked dsm for about 800.00. everything that you need is already in it. why spend money and time to try and get power out of something that isnt all that reliable? its better to point someone into the right direction with things like this and give them better/reliabe options to let them decide for them selves. and for the money... he wouuld have a better/more reliable car with the 4g63t.

the 2.0 i can get a turbo motor cheap from this guy $500 but will it fit my tranny
