J-SPEC? should i or not?
#1
First of all i would like to welcome myself to this forum(all parts of it)
this is my first post! Ok my 86 GXL has 30k on dealers engine, and it
runs very good(for now at least) but its not making enough power,
i want to port it (j-bridge) is that a good idea? or should i buy a
J-SPEC ,,and rebuild and port that one? any help with this will be appreciated! TIA

personally jspec engines are only good if your gonna rebuild them. i would take your engine out and bridgeport it and possibly go with a racing beat carb setup. its ALOT of work to go turbo. you seem to have alot of money if you have a S500 and a hummer LOL
the nice thing about staying N/A is they are so damn reliable. that is something i miss

im sorry you got the impression that im all that rich,,,mistake,,,both vehicles are liened s5(leased) hummer (financed)(and i would like to mention that the hummer isnt specifically mine,,,its more my fathers) so dont think i layed out big cash ,,,lol although i wouldnt mind,,,really owning both of them,,,anyways to the real topic here,,,i defenately dont want to go turbo!
reliability is key (for me at least) plus going turbo ,,,costs a lot of money (like i said im not rich) ,,,you also said that i should carb it,,,why so? isnt fuel injection better??? maybe i was missinformed??? TIA Leo

JSpec = Turbo....so if you don't want turbo, then don't go jspec. I'd say just rebuild the motor that is in the car. Fuel injection and carb are both good setups for NAs...I'm not sure why vosko suggested going carb(is there a particular reason that I overlooked vosko?)....I don't see a big gain either way. Fuel injection and carb will get you the same power...its all in how well you can tune.

$550 just like i told you
$550 isn't that bad of a price, it would be better if it came with everything (turbo, manifold, ect.).
