so i have put quite some time and money into my neon but its still not faster before i go turbo i wanna do pistons, rods,vavles and valvle springs but not sure what ones i should get any help would be nice.

That's a good idea to redo the bottom end before adding a turbo system. Choosing which pistons is your preference but, u know the larger the piston the more gas you'll spend. Do you have a place that can port and polish and know how much they'll charge?

call Howell Automotive and get yourself:

A performance bottom end kit
and
A set of valves

You can get howell to custom make you a rebuild kit, so you don't need to get everything that's included in any of their kits. They're some pretty cool guys.

What all have you done in preparation for turbo'ing your Neon?

as of right now i have full exhuast with 2.5 inch piping thats goin to get changed to prolly 3" i also have cam shaft with adjustable cam gears pulley kit intake stage 2 clutch.

i dont kno of any places around here that can port and polish but im looking into that, i might give howel a call and see what i can work out with them

i think im goin to go with that bottom end kit from howell it seems pretty nice and 1100 isnt to bad

1100 isn't that bad but the porting and polishing isn't going to be too great either.[&:] Do you do the mechanical work yourself? If not that's even more money. Good luck.

on avg how much does the porting and polishing run??

Between Southeast Performance and Howell Automotive you're looking at around $400-$1600. It all depends what stage you want to do. Southeast Performance is cheaper but good luck on reaching them. I've tried plenty of times and had no lock reaching them by phone. They use to be a sponsor on this website and as you know, Howell is currently a sponsor.

U already know what Howell's website is. If you ever start doing that engine work, let us know where you got your porting work done and how everything turns out.
