so my 98 celica gt is closing up on the 280,000 mile mark, stock engine
and hers want i want to do very soon rebult the engine of coarse. new seals, bearings, pumps, yada yada yada, the usual but i want to bore it 20 over, get 20 over forged pistions. forged rods, and high performance bearings, if i can find em , get the head port and polished, although because of the motor design it wont make much of a difference.after all this i want to boost it, with the extra displacement i could use for boosting. and i wont be running a ridiclous amount of boost, a tasteful 8-13 lbs but my question is, getting bored, will that weekend my cylinder walls to the point that boosting it could cause some problems? other than that, thats all i wanna do, i dont have the money for a 3sgte swap which i would love to do. but does all this sound reasonable or am i being a high hope ricer? haha thanks |

If you don't have the money for 3sgte swap, I don't think you'll have enough money for this. That's a lot of machining($) and a lot of custom-sounding parts ($$$). Good luck though.

i would go with a jdm swap, i think it would detinate your engine after a few runs b/c of the thin walls.
