Honestly, I couldn't afford buying a R-154 w/all the goodies in good shape for under $1,000. I'm streching it spending $600 for everything with the W-58. It's my daily, Plus i'll spend more money on my build car then this one. Damn AUTOS !

dude r154's are cheap i see them go on here and s/f for avg of 250 i only paid 500 for my complete swap from an auto

Yeah.. you should be able to get one for the same price if not better.. The other thing to consider would be..

You buy a turbo car with a R154.. You have a N/A with an R154.. If one breaks you have a swap.. Might as well give yourself an option.

Well, you have a good point. I just cant find one in my price range and i can only afford $600 if that. I'm just getting sick of this auto, and i still want to get those injectors from you Matt.

I will be "playing" with my car WEDS-FRI if anybody would like to come by and help. I got a Stock HG and some ARP Studs im putting in it. Thinking about machining the head. Hopefully i'll have it all done by friday.

You guys think i should machine just the head since i am staying stock and just torque it down tight, or should i get the block surfaced too ?

No, not doing a MHG on an N/A....I will do a MHG when i pick up a project turbo 5-spd....as far as the BHG, i blew it because im good :naughty: plus i did it when i ran an RSX type-S. Stock BHG N/A supra wins ! SWEET !

Check out some of the pictures i took after pulling my head. #6 Cyl. still had water sitting in it. Thats gone now. The last 2 pics are of #3 piston and valves. Good thing i always run 93 Octane in this thing. This engine has been rebuilt before. I can tell from the cylinder walls and the bottom of the head. We'll see after i get it back from the shop.
