ok i just wanted to know what you would do and why?
I say Turbo cause for me that is the best option... I can install the turbo myself in one day once i have all the parts... I'll be able to still pass emissions and if i don't i can just pull the turbo out and make the car N/A again...i'll also be about to get a turbo and the rest of the part for a lot less then i could get a jdm engine... and i'm not out to make crazy hp anything more then 200 is to much for me.. i just want a little more kick then what i already have.

an coolant leak in a motor that is not obiously from the radiator or radiator hoses 9 times outta 10 is a blown gasket.. usaully the head gasket - which is bad. Granted it is in a head gaskets nature to go bad... thats what they do. But It would not surprise me at all if it is a direct result of added boost to a N/A motor.. I have seen the exact thing happen before - if hes lucky he will just had a small little hole in one of the corners of the head gasket and hopefully not too much of the coolant has mixed in to the oil. He will be lucky if the car runs for another 6 months. And I really doubt that he would overlook the fact to redo the head gasket when he had the motor rebuilt.. even moreso if he is talking about takling the job of custom making an intake manifold. 97sccelica I know that you are a fan of the turboed 7a.. hey thats fine but really weight the pros and cons of a project before you start it --------------------  99 project version 3.0.. hello SEMA 2010 =) |
