So I need some opinions and tips, I bought a non running 98 hatchback dx last week. My coworker who i bought it from told me the timing belt broke on him and it has a bent valve and thats why its not running. It also sat in his garage for 2 years before i bought it.
So I, assuming it had a bent valve, took off the cylinder head and it did indeed have bent valves. And i'm going to be ordering a new head and gasket kit within a week. But my original plan was to do a z6 turbo or h22 turbo on this but now i'm thinking that maybe i should just turbo the y7 considering this is my first turbo build. So my budget is 4-6 thousand and i wanted around 250hp reliably. And i was gonna buy an ebay turbo kit, and maybe switch out some of the parts or replace them with better ones after awhile.
I figured i'd have to build the motor in order for it to hold that power reliably. So i was thinking:
Eagle Rods
Low compression Pistons
Port/polish head
ARP Headstuds
600cc injectors
So please let me know if this build would work or if i need to change anything or am missing anything. And please no negativity. Thanks!
