Me too.
I haven’t run my car at the track and to be honest, unless I stumble upon a bag of money in the near future, I probably won’t be able to this summer either.
I blew a shitload last year to get the motor built, swap complete and turbo setup complete. I still have many loose ends to tie up before I start taking it to the track.
I built my car for myself and only myself. I won’t risk breaking something because somebody I don’t know wants to prove himself to an internet forum.
Not to be a dick, but go find a stock Evo or something and let me know how you do. Then maybe I’ll consider it.
I’m done here.

to my knowledge the 4g64 has 146hp stock thats a whopping 6 hp more then the 420a and i belive the 4g63 has 210hp… yeah they can get 400hp on stock internals if done right but for me its just not worth all the hassle of swapping… so $800 later i have pistons that will withstand way more then the 4g64’s

it was sooo clean, it was quick, from what i understand… reliable… and it always looked so good… did i mention how clean it was?
turbomitsu… where are you doing your research? I want to quote what you think your car will be capable of running at NYIRP… and id LOVE to see videos of its debut there…
post up what you think shes capable of (with you driving), i wanna be able to look back at this in 5 months and giggle

ugh, because your posts are FULL of rational logic and reasoning :bloated:
7K in engine mods for a fwd 420a != rationality.
This is all you need to know:
> [@eclipsed](#):
>
> all of the research you did on the 420a, all of the engine internal, turbo setups, fuel management systems, etc… i researched all of that shit years ago when i had a 2gnt that i turboed. i scrapped it all and started over with a gsx, and it was the best move ever.

> i have no problem with turboing a 420a. **i just think there are more cost effective and less stressful ways to go fast. i KNOW for a fact that there are much better 4 cylinder platforms than the 420a. that is simply not debatable.**
I mean hey, enjoy your project, who am I to advise what you want to do with the car, but the risk/reward and cost/results aren’t optimal. In fact, they’re relatively horrible. But I guess a baby blue (based on avatar/profile pic) 2gnt driver doesn’t really care about optimizing his resources to achieve the best result anyway.
But it doesn’t seem like you really care though about other people’s experiences in this matter anyway. Carbonfiberhooded’s, turboTSI’s, and eclipsed’s experience \> your experience. Hell, I even owned a 420A once and very quickly realized its limitations, even as a youngster.
bottom line is do what makes you happy, but you’ve got a wealthy knowledge base trying to steer you in the right direction, based on identical mistakes in the past. rock on dudebro :carnut

well the car is in primer and those are just aftermarket fenders but the color will be along those lines… and i do see where u guys are comin from and i respect the advice but when i started the project i knew it wouldnt be cheap and truthfully dont care if it ends up costin me more… i just want the fastest 420a around and wont stop till i have it.
