Something went wrong with my engine what ever it is well i found an excuse to built up my engine and turbo my car. but if ima do it might as well go big. I pulled the block out . im going big so i want my engine built right. my question is. what is the best kit for my engine 2.4l . what bore ? best prices ? i will worry about the turbo setup later i do have a t3/t4 though im lookin on boosting up to 20 psi . im getting a nice big fat incom tax check and might as well spend it on something good. and yes i have dont my research its just that everyone has a different idea on what to do . i plan on ordering all the internas and taking it to the machine shop all at once .

well to build the 2.4 engine properly...... for 20psi ...... your looking at in and around 6500...... USD............. that will get you everything you need.....

???? hurmmmm pistons now which one do i need and would the be cheaper to get them direct from the manufacturer ? to what bore is it safe to run high boost ? doesnt the forged piston have to fit to the bore on the block ?
ok well pistons Check next ? what else should i get that is essential to get ?

looks like Kit C is standard bore and 9:1 compression. I'd go with that for boost.

Why not have a local machine shop/engine rebuilder shop do it for you and you buy the parts?

9:1 compression is good for a boost application. You don't really have to do an overbore. When you get too big of a bore, especially on a boosted motor, you can run into problems with your cylinder walls being too thin. Your option around that is to re-sleeve the motor but that's up to you.

If you still want to do an overbore, .020 is fine...just remember that you will have to get a shop to machine your block to fit the wider pistons and I believe your head gasket has to be modified or you have to order one to fit the block with a wider combustion chamber.

Ok... for the cams hurmmm they look to be expensive new so i guess ima look for the "secret Cams" for it. my aunt has a broke down 93 Grand amwith 53,000MIles with the 2.3l DOHC will does do ? or do they have to be from a cavy ?

.............. ok well out of all the Turbo cavys if looked up umm i think ive only seen one with some kind of Axels upgrade.... is there a certain company that makes then for High output engines ? cause if seen them turbo civics snap them like nothing. over here in texas there is some fast as imports running 6's in the 1/8 image the 1/4...

How much is it or how much did some of you pay for your head to get ported and polished ? they are charging me $500 over i thinks thats a little too much isnt it ?

no... you can use a stock head gasket on anything up to a .050 overbore. Which, a Cometic MLS will work even better. Plus, o-ringing is a pain in the ass.

Still cant find Axles.....

JBP has axles.

JBP Axles

I guess they're listed for "3rd Gen's" and not specifically listed for particular years/engines. Are all 3rd gen axles the same? *shrugs*
