sakuraguy said:ure using 1.6 already, go for conversion, get a full half-cut + rear discs, which may cost around 4 - 5k and installation 1 - 1.5k depends on the shop .. and all together is 5.5 - 6k only.
If u go for turbo kit, turbo kit itself already 4.5k and disc? ecu?, ure stock piston and head will blow off after a while. i think now u got me :)
have a wise choice, go get a GSR 1800 or get a VR4 if u feel matured enuf ;)
Wah... 4-5k for GSR halfcut + rear discs summore... u find for me loh !!!! =Þ Do u have any idea what is the market price for GSRs these days ar?!?! 5-6k EXCLUDING rear discs laa...
Turbo kit, kit itself 4.5k?? You think HKS turbo kit meh?? =Þ
Anywayz... last time I did my turbo kit with the initial lower boost setup for roughly around 2k flat including installation (and thats including my blow off AND intercooler AND intercooler pipings AND bigger injectors)... that time running 0.5 bar... then later on wanna run higher 0.8 bar just dropped in a metal gasket for roughly around 500 plus installation, a set of GSR injectors for 200 bucks, and rechip ECU for around 300 bucks ... then dynoed.. woohoo.. 170hp on wheels !! And thats on my 1.5 la brader...
Ur 1.6 should be around there also kua... since my 1.5 i bolt onto was a 4G91. =Þ
Of course I was a bit BRAVE lar... but to be on the safe side, wanna run high boost better for you to drop in low compression pistons lar... get a set of pistons from a GSR or 4AG-ZE and rebuild the engine.
**note: Price would depend very much on how good u are at sourcing cheap stuffs**
