what’s the damage, just bent valves ect. from a t-belt breaking? you can find a gsr motor pretty cheap, might just be easier to go that route if he wants to build a gsr motor eventually anyways. ---

Don’t take a loan out. If you do you’ll love what you did with the money for a couple months and then hate making the payment. ---

Im not exactly sure whats wrong with it yet. I haven’t had much time to get over to the garage and do a compression test on it. But my guess is that it has a burnt valve. I just figured that this would be the perfect time to make this car my “own” build. But Im prob better off just having the head rebuilt and going from there. I do appreciate all of your opinions. ---

itll most likely be a lot more reliable if u fix it and keep it as is. if u add a turbo, theres gnna be so much more to keep in mind when building and if something seems not right. ya know? ---

Ask Globe on here. Never had any problem with his stock block boosted vehicles. He had a good tune that kept him safe ---

> [@99Blackex](#): > > Yeah I deff want to look into getting a retune with neptune anyways just to be on the safe side. Even if you were to throw a b16, b18c1, etc…you could boost and just shoot for the 300 whp mark…with the right tune which synapse will give, youll be good to go. I am sure you could get more out of it as well ---

Keep it NA when i blew up my b16 2 years ago … i had the option to build it for boost or keep it na … but i opted to keep it na and not go into more debt …it would have been about $6k for my turbo setup …instead i didnt get that loan and paid out of my own pocket to have brooks build it was 1/4 the price and im happy with it ---
