Ok so i have a 95 st. I just rebuilt the 1.8 5000 miles ago as soon as i bought it. Im 16 and this is my first car and ive been driving for a couple months and am already bored of it. I simply want something faster. I already have brand new rims, c-one body kit and racing fenders and a new paintjob so now im looking to get this thing moving. I havent read much but ive read about the beams engine. So my question. I either want to A.) Build my 1.8 and turbo it. B.) Buy a 2.2, built it, turbo it. C.) Buy a jdm swap beams etc., and possibly turbo it. I just want some suggestions on what i should do. Money is not an issue but i dnt want to spend over 2500. Thanks to anyone that trys to help.

here is my 2 cents
ok if you have the money and a different car to drive do a 3sgte swap. it will take some time but that seems like the fastest route to go. i mean the 7a was just not really built for power. a couple ppl on here have really done some amazing things to the 7a but that is a whole other ball game. you also have to question your patience. if you want it done right it will take time you cant just throw it in and expect it to just get up and go. you also have to think about the wiring harness on a 3s gte swap. those come from rhd cars so you have to get the wiring harness lengthened and hopefully the guy does it right. my buddy was doing a 1jz swap in his supra and the guy he sent the harness to totally screwed it up and it was like 300 down the drain. i myself have looked into making the st faster but honestly it is that last thing on my list. for me suspension comes first. that car was built more to hug corners than drag race. i find the corners to be more fun anyways haha well i hope this helps Raves |
