Default build question

how far can you go upgrading internals with out pulling the engine? i searched and failed. i understand it is better to pull the engine but is it possible. is it possible to the lower end.

the question is, why not just take it out and build? it would be much simpler


no lift access?

because pulling it will be alot of money but with the more reseach ive been doing im finding out that all the compents u do need to move that its going to be difficult. but yes i dont really have lift access. i was also a little curious.

Well in theory you could do everything with motor in the car (except any machine work) but it won't be easy. Prolly spend more time (i.e. more labor) doing the work with motor in the car.

Can gank the motor in a few hours that will probably cause a lot fewer headaches in the long run of the build.

If you cant afford to pay for lift time you cant afford F/I

yeah im scratchin that idea completely im gonna look into the stage 1 short maybe long block low compression from import parts pro. i was jus kind of curious i will be able to shell out the money for it especially with my next deployment but i kind of wanted to look into doin it myself and save as much as possible but obviesly this isnt a good corner to cut

You don't need to build your motor with a Turbonetics kit....It can't make enough power to blow the stock motor...

It's not too bad. The schedule is the worst part. I'm more stressed about how my crappy schedule is going to affect my private life. Working on nights, weekends and holidays SUCKS.

Don't know the name, but I might know him if I saw him. Lots of guys from meets that I don't know their names.
