boosted 420A , its not that bad man, i mean sure you dont have the same internals and the engine isn't designed for turbo but its still ok cause you could get almost 300HP out of it, according to Hahn Racecraft. my car runs fine with the turbo kit, its just a matter of upgrading for more boost which will bring me to a dilemma in getting new internals, oh well, i took the hard way,, but its not that bad,.............i still get to feel turbo.....heheh

and on the 420A, the turbo is set really high so when you pop the hood, the first thing you see is the turbo.

If you're really that adamant about having a turbo car, get a GS-T/X. If you wanna make the most of what you have, keeping in mind that you can't sell the car, I say turbo the 420A. Going the 'engine swap' method is just more costly and a pain in the ass. Take into heart what I posted above about the approximate price that you can encounter, and decide for yourself.

dont waste your money on a swap its not worh it $$ wise, get a gst/x or turbo the 420a. upgradeing the internals and turboing the 420a is an easier option for anyone b/c i dont have to wait for stupid papers and loans or whatnot, but the car will most definately have atleast 2 week down time and that to the etreme least if your lucky that no problems come up or that your the only costumer w/ a devoted mechanic.

or you could get 450wheel horsepower out of a 4g63 STOCK engine. I say keep your car now as a daily driver and get something else to make fast. like a 91 or 92 gsx/ gst.

The daily driver idea is a good one. Or just get two project cars, it's twice the money pit, but chances are still decent that at least one of them will be running 95% of the time.
