i have a 93 2liter with a j-spec cam in it. the cam improved the performance a little, but as everyone else, i want some more. At first i was thinking turbo = too expensive and very high maintenance. SC sounds like a better idea, but still way out of my budget. Then there are the j-spec pistons... from what i heard they give really good performance increase. The questions are: are there tuning problems with these (i will have a shop install them, i don't have as much experience as to go tear the whole engine apart)? Second, the engine already has about 70k on it and even though i know pretty much how engines work, i don't really know what am i looking as to what parts are mainly affected with wear and tear that i should consider replacing at the same time? i know its not safe to use sc or turbo w/pistons cause the compression ratio is high enough already, but would it be safe to use NOS? Will i have to upgrade the ecu at the same time (i'm planning on it sometime, i just dunno if i'll be able to put together all the cash at the same time)?
Thanks for all your input.
