Okay,
So i decided i want to get some kinda forced induction in my 01 RS.
Because I am a poverty stricken college student, my original plan to do an full usdm wrx swap is not going to happen anytime soon. So, i think i want to do my own buildup. I found this 86 gl turbo with a 1.8L that has a cyl out. The guy wants beans for the whole car and the body is in pretty good shape. I just wanted to know if i should be looking for a newer engine to start with or if the 86 block/internals would be alright(prob get new internals anyway). My overall goal is to have a 1.8block with ej20 or 22 heads for the compression. Any thoughts or ideas?
BTW, I tried to search but am lacking other resources so any external/internal links would help a bunch.
Thanks!
