you could follow my project log above this post. i bought the stage 1 from modern for 2300 shipped and bought a big a$$ front mount off ebay for 100 shipped. i could not justify another 700 bucks for i/c and piping to make it a stage 2.[:-]

 

so were the 420a come from

 

That is what Mitsubishi calls the Chrysler/Lamborghini DOHC engine design. They took it and reversed the head and called it the 420a.

 

so i guess i wont last long on stock internals...[&:]160k+ miles

 

Depends on the condition of the engine. You saw spuds comments and what happened to his engine with about 150,000 miles on it. Turbo's will turn small problems into BIG problems quickly.

 

yeah it became a large problem for me.....being that i replaced the bearings and there is still a knock since the crank is messed up[&:]

now im just gonna go N/A for a while and then in the mean time, build up one hell of a turbo motor...but the motor im gonna get has high compression and is completely rebuilt.....plus ima get a nice set of cams..then it should be fast enough to hold me over til the other motor goes in

 

damn....well my car runs fine now...no overheating...etc. just a small knock on cold starts..but it goes away after about10 mins...which is probably a normal thing. i guess ill see soon enough[&:]

 

now i dont know what im gonna do...i think i will just end up building up the motor i have now over then next week or two instead of getting another one[&:]
