time to start a project

[drosales99]

Since taxes are coming in I want to build up my 99 420a. Eventually have her supercharged instead of turbo. So now my debate is should I build up the motor she already has ( 100k original miles) or I've heard you can use a 1g bottom end with a 2g top end. Is that true and would it be better?

Not in a 420A car without some massive work.

You can't put a 4g63 in a 420a car without a lot of work and money. Me personality wouldn't build a 420a

So should I look into selling and look for a gsx? Cause if I go that route I wont have funds to play with and I'd have to start all over again.

 

[Absit]

It'd be far cheaper to do that than to try to stick a 4G6x in your car.

I think this is the best thing to do sell your car, save up some money and wait for a gsx to pop then jump on it. I have respect ppl building a 420a but I think that money could be better spent on a gsx which would be such a great platform can't beat a awd turbo car

 

[drosales99]

So a full 420a build supercharged wouldn't be worth my while?

 

[Absit]

No one's saying that. It's your car. Do you want a cookie cutter or something unique? I don't think I've ever seen a S/C 420A.

 

[drosales99]

I guess I'm thinking unique. But I guess ok just keep everybody posted soon enough. Thanx for your options

i seen a SC 420a, they actually used to make a kit for it long time ago.

 

[drosales99]

Really?!? I keep looking and I've found a few s/c but not sure which 1 to go with
