Ohhhh K, Here we go, guy stuffed me around hardcore on the quote with the N/A sr20 gave me one price and then tried adding 2900 labor on top of it after he realised he forgot to add it. So now I Need some help from you guys to get some advice of making my pinto STRONG and POWERFUL, i've got twin 45's and a good head... just want to know how i can increase the power alot while yet staying with the pinto, im also going to be upgrading the diff aswell.. I've got about 5k to spend, so what do you think? HELP HELP HELP!!![:-(]

just buy one of Andy's kits and fit it your self not really a big deal. just get someone to wire it up. and get it engineered.

good idea, but you will also need bigger gearbox tunnel-diff etc. definutly worth it in the long run.

if you only really have 5k to spend then stick with the pinto an sr conversion going to cost a lot more than that.

turbo pinto.. mine will be soon... lookin for 200kws at the wheels but dunno if thats pushin the little pinto 2 far lol..

Whoppa, How much to do a setup like that?

Anybody have any ideas in terms of keeping te 45's and building a stronger motor? like spec wise?

a sr20 wont really cost to much more then 5gs. You can buy a good runnin SR with gearbox and wiring for round 3gs. Andy does a kit for $550, that gets you mounts for both gearbox and motor, now get someone to wire it up and then get it tuned.

Its all about engineering, thats where the money goes.


A turbo pinto i dont think will get under 5gs especially if you want 200kws.

Not really after the turbo setup, Im a red P Plater and have a few years on my P's before i can touch turbo. So twins will have to do... Im not sure about what i can do to the bottom end and other things to increase power. I know a bit about the head which has a stage 4 cam, Port n polish, double valve springs and shaved etc but what else???

If you want your car to be a weekender that turns heads this would be good. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NOS-NITROUS-OXIDE-UNI-EFI-KIT-4-6CYL-Holden-FORD-HONDA_W0QQitemZ260222095158QQihZ016QQcategoryZ6763QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

You may need forged pistons and rods though. wouldn't like to be pulled over [:0]
Its pretty hard these days on you p platers not being able to drive turbo cars that would suck.
what exactly broke on your motor anyway? were you disappointed with how it performed...
