it had a blown head gasket when i got it a few weeks ago, so i went through and rebuilt the engine, well rebuilt the bottom end and replaced gaskets and stuff. Eventually looking to do a ka24et or ka24det not sure yet.

You might as well just go turbo if you rebuilt the engine.. That is if you got forged internals and such. I would assume that you'd get some good numbers from a kae turbo.

So you had the bottom end machined or is this just a gasket bearing job?

Next step is suspension, brakes and fixing all the rust that's all over the underside of the car.
