Engine Upgrades?

[AVE0SAM]

first you need to decide what your doing...either building up for turbo or stay NA....your saying you want to keep it NA til a swap or turbo...but NA and turbo require different setups

What I'm saying is that I want to build this motor up and when I do the swap I could always sell the built motor. I want to see how many horses I can get out of this motor NA. The swap would go in and it would get turbo'd.

alright...there are higher compression pistons from another engine that will work in ours (forget which one but ill post it when i find it)....2" exhaust, cams , port n polish.....4-1 or 4-2-1 header

Ok cool thank you very much guys for teh info.

Has anyone had issues with their 4-1 or 4-2-1 header?

the thing is, that I want to see what I can do NA with this motor because I might go the swap route in the future.

Well again, if you either upgrade your motor, or swap in a bigger motor, you'll still need bigger exhaust because you will have more gas to flow (but that's all depending on how much more gas you'll be flowing to determine if it's worth it)

You mean more air flow!

Yes, air flow out which is exhaust which is what I ment by gas... exhaust gas... but I can see how in some cases this may need clarification

What I'm saying is that I want to build this motor up and when I do the swap I could always sell the built motor. I want to see how many horses I can get out of this motor NA. The swap would go in and it would get turbo'd.
