Indeed you can, but if you have the money, why chance it. If you are having the car painted, putting on a rotated kit, and getting it tuned, budget an extra $1-1.5k and put in a set of forged pistons, new rod bearings, and have it put together properly. You will never regret having a safety net when you want to push it, you will regret popping a ringland and having the car down and a larger bill because you wanted to save a few bucks now. If nothing else, the difference in having a nice balanced engine with strong pistons will help improve your end results.

gt30r rotated kit

HuffRex · 09-28-2006, 09:32 AM

I would go for the 30r if your shooting for that horsepower range especially on a 2.5L!!

Oh, and I'm not sure if anyone mentioned it, but i would go for a GT30r rotated mount kit, in a .82ar.
