Hey Guys, when taxes come in im doin a bottom end rebuild on my 99 Eclips GS (420A engine). Im lookin at 2 different kits to get and i need your input on which you think would be the BEST product to get!!!!

REBUILD KITS:
- Howell Automotive Bottom end Rebuild kit

- Concept Illusions Bottom end Rebuild kit
http://www.mainsitepage.conceptillusions.com/

please provide your input, i have a month or so before i dig into it but im trying to get a head start! thanks guys

P.S. my goal in the end is to pushy apx. 15-18lbs of boost in my car.

 

I think $1,199.95 for just the bottom end parts they are selling ya is overpriced befor i got rid of my 420 95gs i did a longblock rebuild that only cost 1250 and it could take 15psi no problem. I would call around to local machine shop and get a quote for a longblock rebuild might as well do it all timing belt water pump tentioner and head while you goit it out it may cost a few hundred more dollars 200-300 but it is well worth it especialy if you are going to run boost.

 

i found another but i don't think it's at the same quality as the others:

i would go with the JE stage 3 from concept illusions.

the last link is probably horrible quality since the highest price kit is only like $450.

 

Try to get a hold of Slow420A he'd probably have some good input on it.

 

I am almost done with the e-mail you asked for, again sorry for how long its taking but school is getting hard and time consuming, I only have about 2 hours a day out side of work and school to do homework and other personal stuff, but ya today I skipped math and should be sending you that e-mail by tonight.

 

what a guy to take time to help out a fellow member. [sm=smiley20.gif]

 

no kidding, as if he hasn't helped me out enough!! he's making me a complete part list from bottom end to top. but im still looking for some advice about the 2 kits i mentioned in the beginning.
