ok so i just got got back quite a little bit of money back and want to spend around 2500 on my car. Its a 420a motor but im wanting to turbo charge but dont know what kind of it to get or if i should get one at all. would it be easier just to do a 4g63 swap?? If i keep a 420a would i need to rebuild my engine and what exactly would i need to rebuild it for boost setup. Any ideas? im sure you enthusiasts know whats a good turbo size, intercooler, rods, pistons bore specs etc.

If you go to the search box at the top of the page you can answer a lot of your own questions.;) In the keyword box at the top of the page use the words "420a turbo". Then click the dropdown box that says "post body & title" to make it say "thread titles only" and click on the Search button.

Here are some examples of what you'll find. Happy reading!:D

The 4g63 swap is not worthy unless u get all the parts cheap and are able to make or transfer the engine and trans mounts along with modifing the frame rails. The engine and trans sit reversed of the 420a stuff. The suspension crossmember,wiring, ac stuff,and much more would have to be swaped. So going a swap would be a pain and just be simpler if u bought a gst or gsx.

Now the 420a can be turboed and yeild good hp numbers depending on how much u are wanting to spend. Just do a search and u find a lot of info on what other people have done.and how they got thier.
 
Take a look at the links GRAVEDIGGER posted. We won't spoon feed this information to you. Put in a little leg work and find the answers; they're easily accessible.
