Would it be wise to Turbo a JDM Primera (10:1 compression) motor or not? What would be a safe limit to boost pressure on this higher compression motor?
Reason being, my stock motor has around 120K miles on it. I want to go turbo, but think I should get a lower mileaged motor before I do so. I can get the JDM motors for around 500 bux, than piece together Turbo Parts. Like I saw Andreas selling the bluebird manifold, turbo, pipes, etc for 750. And another dude sellin his Jim Wolf ECU w/370cc injectors for 600. That all adds up to 1850. Pretty good deal right? Maybe im just on crack and should order a DET motor, sigh. I kinda wanted to go about it at my own pace instead of just getting everything all at once.
