Re: rebuild or jdm?
hmmm...the only thing preventing me from getting the 3rd gen is that parts are probably rare... the second gen shouldn't have any problems i don't think... does anyone know the difference from the 1st gen and the second gen... i'm thinking of just getting a second gen and taking the old one out and rebuilding it... i'm not sure yet considering rebuilding but i don't know how long it will take me and i need the reliability... like they say nothing runs better than stock... i need the car to last me at least another 3-4 more years... i know its asking alot of 300hp and reliability... but if tuned right i'm guessing it would be fine...anyways anyone with opinions please help...
the real question i'm asking is
1) If i rebuild and make the bottom end stronger will have a the reliability or is there too much risk of human error?
2) If i get another motor with around 30-45k should i just replace the Head gasket, timing belt, etc.., and upgrade turbos, intercooler, piping, get a decent set of cams, injectors, fuel pump, and a fmu... that should get me in the 300's...if i replace the engine w/ the 2nd gen will it give me problems as far as parts to find...and will the wiring just be plug and play? and far as upgrading everything as long as its tuned real good, will i get the reliability?
