If you have the V6 model...... i suggest getting better pistons..... the metal for the pistons and rods are weak and can't handle much more horspower and or compression.

to be honest i dont know about to block....... majority complaints i see are for the pistons and rods..... i would maybe suggest the heads also....... but i dont know because i never really messed with the V6 models first hand.

cute.
BLOCK:pistons,rods,Crankshaft(or u may balance and blueprint ur current.) wont hold long.
Rings of course.
I ususally suggest when turboing Resleeving. But im more honda Performance. Dont know the block of 3gs that well.
Cylinder Head Upgrade complete VALVE train. or do dohc swap.
Either or your will be using around 3-7 grand to turbo it correctly alone.Not like a fagass Mickey mouse i commonly see.saying i got turbo cant mess with me till they hear a rodnock for turboing a stock motor.

He can build his own turbo and probably put about 5-8psi on it for about 3k. But he has to be careful with it and not use a gigantic turbo

How much do you plan to invest in this?? Pistons are not "drop in" replacements.

Just buy a built motor ready to go. www.tearstone.com

Yes, if you need a good job and not kill ur V6 in one year or less, rebuilt, get better crankshafts, pistons.. and with all that, not run more than 10 psi cause the engine was never designed to see a turbo... Just get another car, its gona cost.
