car info:
1995 toyota celica gt convertible okay so when i got my car, i didnt really know what all is wrong with it. When i wend to the mechanic, he said i have low compression on one of the cylinders. He suggested a new engine. THen i went to another mechanic. he took some tubes out and told me one on my valve is bent and suggested a new cylinderhead.I got it to work, and installed ebay headers and an intake. about two weeks ago, i blew my header gasket. Now i ordered a new cylinderhead from ebay : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...RK%3AMEWNX%3AIT my brother now tells me to rebuild the complete engine. He says i now need the following: Bearings pistons motor mounts crankshaft oil pump waterpump timing belt gasket set lubricants and sealants i found a rebuild kit on ebay for 300 dollars shipped but it doesnot have the crankshaft, pumps and timing belt. i was just wanted to know if this is all i need and/or something else. and how much would the labor be for some stuff i cannot do it myself. please help me i would really appriciate it. if some of u live near houston texas (tx) can you meet me and tell me all i need!

well since the car has 400K+ miles, im pretty sure some stuff will be cracked and out of specifications. My co-worker says that my 'bore size' or cylinder might be a litter bigger/fatter so suggests me to get oversized pistons! he says the only way im gonna figure the rite size is by sending it over to a machine shop!
now since im planning to get the most performance out of my car, im planning to get: a 3sgte (and/or gt4) manifold with some sort of turbo i want rx7 fuel injectors (i think someone on 6gc has them not sure) and bigger pistons since im a noob, i just wanted to know what else can i do and what exaclty i need for turboing my GT within a budget my budget is somewhere around 500 give or take -------------------- For Sale:OEM tail lights - make offer
