well, it looks as though I'm not going to do a turbo swap, so I was thinking after tuning my suspension(tein type flex), I could go ahead and get a high comp. block and pistons for my N/A, converting it to MAP so I can run ITB's, work all of the internals in the engine, eliminate the rev limiter and such, I only plan on drifting and competing in grip races(maybe auto-x), so I dont need excessive horsepower, just a good suspension setup and maybe an aftermarket LSD. what do you think? opinions and suggestions greatly appreciated.

itb is the way to go if you're going to go nonturbo. do it. i want pics though... lots and lots :naughty:
If your using the car for racing; I would almost suggest Tein RA's - as they seem to be the hard core racing coil over setup for our cars. Some have reported the flex being kind of squishy on SF. (yes, I know its SF, but still, I figured i'd just let ya know.)
The RA's are nice but special order now 
Silkroad and Kei Office seemed to have moved into the Tein RA slot as the prefered shock for the mk3 racer
Silkroad and Kei Office seemed to have moved into the Tein RA slot as the prefered shock for the mk3 racerI didint know silk road made coilovers for our cars? I gotta check those out! although, I wouldnt mind "squishy", because this is'nt going to be strictly race, just a really nice street car.As for the engine, I'd have to work on it for a while, so I'm probably going to buy the GE we have at my work and build that up, I'll need any help I can get, because I dont know how to do very many fo these things, I can do simple things like that stroker kit(where?), and the folks at my work can help, but things like the MAP conv., and Itb's would be more difficult(I'm only 17 after all), headers and cams will prolly be the first things I do, but I dont know where to go after that :1zhelp: :1zhelp: :1zhelp:

all motor NA is great until you get absolutely romped by some jackass in a turbo car who doesn't know anything about mods yet turned his boost up. itb's are less cool in that situation
Like I said, horsepower isnt a big concern, in drifting, it's mostly proper techinque and skill that decides the race, thats why I dont really like drag racing, I'm not trying to get flamed, but IMO going really fast in a straight line is great fun, but it is much less fulfilling than going really fast sideways.

Simple things like the stroker kit? LOL I'm really rolling on the floor.
Ask Alan about his "simple" stroker kit.
Or me for that matter.
Buggwugger has one running from what I've heard, but have not seen him post in awhile. (His was from Flatlander like mine, but I understand they actually got his done and to him eventually.)
Mine was pretty complicated. Just making everything fit right is not easy. (Mill work, or lots of grinding are involved.)
If the parts fit right off the bat, I suppose it would be easy... LOL
The good news is tourqe however.
This engine is very much like a V8 down low. Excellent tourqe, and dyno confirms it. (However, my state of tune sucked, and I was hitting boost cut during the runs, so no ultimate HP numbers.)
Tourqe was 413.9 at about 3800rpm, and that was when the fuel cut hit, so I don't know what it would have been otherwise. (HP was only 372.7, and that's DOWN about 50hp from before.) Also this was at 13psi, and my old engine was doing the 420hp at 18psi dance many have seen with the bolt on T4 from SS.
When I finally get this engine tuned right, the numbers should be interesting. I'm hoping to break 500 in both figures on this quick spooling bolt on turbo. It might be close, but 500hp/tq would be a very fun and fast street car indeed. (And the turbo does not look huge.)
Last time I was at the track, this guy asked me if I'd thought about putting a turbo on the car.. LOL He did not notice the stock looking bolt on under the heat shields and 3" intake pipe crossing over the top of it.

milling isnt a problem, the place where I work has an in-house machine shop, thats where I will overbore my engine if I decide on it.
look at these:

Wow! Talk about thread necro... in a good way, though! Post some pics, there's a bunch of folks that would love to see your setup.
