Idk what to do.... help guys, turbo or swap?
 
Alright, i got a turbo made by garrett t3/t4 hybrid sitting in my garage

but i got in an accident and it's gonna cost me about 600 to repair my car...

but im thinkin im just gonna leave it wrecked, and just fix any internal work i might need, like alignment and such...

But i have a really nice, brand new turbo sitting in my garage, and im not gonna have money to put it in for a very long time anyway, cuz i owe my dad alot of money, about a grand.

so im in a predicament... should i sell the turbo? and just save up for a k20a type-r swap? also, would an h22 jspec fit in our car? shit idk what to do... im really confused, almost discouraged with my car...

any advice?

yo, just to let you know, you should close this thread, there are alot of *******s here who will get pissed off at your questions.


However... I am friendly and will tell u some advice...The k20z1/a3,a2 all work, the cheapest way to go is to do a k20a3 with a a2 head, you can also use the search button and research the frankenstein k24 build up, which involves a k24 block and k20 head. As for the h22 it will not fit our car, unless you do some custom work. And plus h22s dont like boost. I woulkd opt for the k2o, and later build it for turbo when u get the money.

The h22 will work in our cars, but thats the thing, the H22 is huge. Its a tight squeeze for our cars, ive only seen one, and it looked like his engine couldnt shake its own nuts if it had too. As for the main question, i say save up for a swap and then keep it N/A :) not too big on boosting.

yeah thats a good idea, if u want to control the budget and still make big n/a numbers, do a frankenstein k24 build, ive seen it in a rsx that smashed porshces, think about having that in your vic'.

save up for a swap. if you get the k20 you'll start off with about 200 hp. on a stock engine.

dont do the turbo, your just gonna build up a shitty engine and be dissapointed with the end result. its too much money for little hp.
