my b18a’s got 120,000 miles logged in now, and im considering a turbo kit. whats involved in rebuilding a motor and what should i expect to spend. is machine work necissary? id like to do as much work as i could myself.
Well first determine what your goals are for the rebuild (i.e: are you drag racing, if so what do you want your time slips to read.), Then determine how much is in your budget and go from there. You should do research on products and find out what will be best for you. I myself, I am probly going to be spending about $8-9,000.00 for my whole rebuild and turbo parts. My friend spent about $2000.00 for a block rebuild and junk yard turbo parts and his car is running 13.9’s on 12psi. <- not to bad for a beater car that is a 1.6 sohc!!
