yea, im glad you guys are having fun bickering over which design is better and what not.. but im not gettin rid of my car. i still need a parts list... this subject is probably the center of the mits forum, it's rediculous... can somebody just help me with MY problem?? lol i mean for real. sent HAHN Racecraft an e-mail they said here's a good start: compression check, leak down for valves, pistons, rings, connecting rods, head struts, valve job, boar the block, turbo kit, fuel system, injectors, and cluth... does anybody care to add to this??

 

yes, i appreciate that everyone is giving their two cents, but he has a GS, and he is looking to build up the 420a...whether you guys agree or not, hes just hunting for some info as to suggested parts and such.

get435, that is the stage V that he is building...in a 95 sebring...300 to the wheels is his street tune, since it is his daily driver, sun, rain, or snow.

 

sorry get435 but if i ever saw a gs tranny hold over 300 horses with a little bit of *** kickin for more than a week without exploding in shards of metal it would be the day that my *** isnt hairy

 

i think that with proper driving, the tranny would hold up if it wasnt beat to begin with...i could blow the tranny in a stock yugo if i tried, and they only have like 60hp.

but to unjack this guys thread...he was just looking for any advice on how ton bulk up his current engine..

and for the record, i found out that the stock crankshaft, if in good shape, will be fine for turbo applications, and that Hahn is running a stock crank on several 11 second cars.

 

The stock 420a tranny is rated for 180 lbs of torq...

The person who drives a boosted 402a loves to spend money, in a wastefull manner. I got my car a year ago for 5g it ran a 18.2 stock. So far I have dropped 7200 in the car and It runs a 16.2. I haven't even installed the turbo yet.

 

slow, i have to ask, what exactly do you drive? my buddy who is doing the stage V hahn build in a 95 sebring, with a manual ran 16.70 with just the interior pulled...with the new tranny, stage 4 clutch, and quiaffe, and a 55 shot...he ran 15.10...

 

(edit. I didnt know that this fourm could host pics.)

So far this is what I have put into the carinjen intake 150, cat back 250, test pipe 40, grounding kit 10, short throw 90, k&n filter 80 <--shafted, fog lights 40, headunit 500, speakers 400, sub+amp #1 350, sub+amp #2 150, tires... too much, headliner crap 350, front bumper paint 90, hedder 350, gauges 250, shift ***** 1,2,&3 ... 200?, floor mats 20, paint for rear lights 40, sloted rotors 120, hawk pads 60, trunk batt moving kit 50, turbo kit 1650, wideband kit 300, master cyl. 25, bov 160, new cyl head(btw its just chillen in my basement) 250, plugs sets 1,2,&3 60, wires 50, 55mm tb 200, cat back #2 300, high temp upper rad hose 20 bucks<--- boaters world, more gauges 200, ss cluch line kit 30, oil catch can 80, motor mounts 20, new muffler 180, lastly mics paint for int, wires for system, cleaning products invested in another 50 or so.

I love to see a quick 420a thats not in a eclipse or talon.

 

when he first got it, it was only to kick around in...

then one night we got in an arguement of whether not it would hit 60 in first gear..

it wouldnt...after that, a top end rebuilt was needed...i rode him to do a turbo build, and he said no...he built it back to stock, but in the process, he found a cheap block in case his was damaged...it wasnt, but in buying that block, he saw how cheap stuff was...he also started going to the track with me, and he was infected...he began buying parts to build the motor up...and now everything is waiting patiently in his garage for the build...on a street tune he is planning on 300 to the wheels...he also got the cladding from a 2000 sebring, and when he gets the body work done, he will have a 1-of 2000 chrysler sebring LXi turbo 4 cylinder 5 speed...

right now, just with the quiaffe and the bottle, its a fun little car to drive
