What exactly goes into basic engine rebuild. I have a 93 LS with 186,000 miles on it and i want to turbo it soon. So I assume that i will need to rebuild it, and i was wondering what will need to be done and how much will it cost. Oh and i plan on swapping to a b16 head in the process. Please help me as much as possible with the info. It will be appreciated. thanks.

Yes, I have a 1991 LS with 160,000 miles. I am thinking of rebuilding it too for turbo. What does it take and what is it involved ? Finally which turbo would you recommand for G2 LS ?

HKS / Greddy / ???

thanks

pp head  
turbo cams  
bigger valves  
vtec oil and water pumps
