Just stop there....I'm not even going to try and argue that point when the fastest drag cars are DOHC engines. Tell me a built 400whp d-series is faster then a 900+hp K20. infact I'll just leave this here

 

I will literally continue to post B/K series Honda engine videos that will wreck supra's and GTR's (700hp civic dominates the street).

 

 

i guess speedfactory will do 6's with a turbo d then, right?

shut the **** up

 

I was thinking somewhere along those lines. thanks!

 

u are correct. I know not of what a dry sump is at all. care to elaborate? or point me in the direction?

 

thank youuuuuuu!!!!!

 

You're welcome!
If you do do this. Or whatever you do, take lots of pics and show us!

Originally designed for race cars, have them about 3 more inches to lower their engine to lower the center of gravity of the car for handling.
But you can use this system for 3" oil pan clearance from the ground.
Will be pricey though

this is how it sits now..

 

So you want to go through the hassle of raising the engine because you're slammed?

Lol ******* kids

 

What suspension do you have

 

at steels with hub caps, if you do figure out how to raise the engine it'll more then likely be a hack job. fail to see how you'd raise the trans mount....

 

get the **** off my thread then bitch. easy to sound like a bad *** when you're hiding behind a computer

 

ebay "coilover sleeves" all around. oem s2k shocks in the rear. the back rides beautiful but I'm gonna put koni yellows with extended tophats on the front soon... I aready cut the shock tower. got another set of front LCA's with poly bushings... just waiting for the front shocks really

 

time will tell son.. I will post up pics as soon as I start executing this project

 

ebay sleeves and cut towers why ! my tack car sits maybe 3/4'' higher and I didn't need to do that doesn't hit at all. Why not a 15x9 rim on there with stretched tires ?

 

What method will you go about with on raising the engine?

 

15x9 is my goal. idk what u want me to tell you, my upper ball joint was hitting the shock tower so I had to cut it yo

 

that's what we are trying to brainstorm about

 

And its real easy to look like a total sheep when you make threads like this with a car like yours.

Edit: of course you would cut holes in your strut towers

Edit 2: let's be real here, you're not gonna do anything except sell the car for some ridiculous amount after you realize how bad you've already fucked it up, and still claim it's a clean car and runs great.

 

Physics isn't going to like this. If you raise the engine a few inches in the front end (regardless of your reasoning) you're moving the center of gravity for the front end of the car upward. This has all kinds of adverse handling and tirewear implications, but that's a story for another day

The other issue you may have is that the axles may not articulate enough to reach the new engine position; moreover, if you move the engine upward, you may need longer axles to reach the hubs or risk separating the CV joints.

I dont get this whole "stanced" bullshit...i like to drive my car without the oil pan eating up every bump. Raise your car to a normal height and you wont have to worry about this. Also, dont bother with a dry sump system...a retrofitted system will cost you as much as that Teg did



Just stop...

Thanks for your comment, but it was neither helpful nor accurate.

 

thanks for your in put man. I mean theres a ton a factors I gotta take in. my wheel hubs are at a higher point than my tranny so my axles are at an opposite angle than they were from factory which is why I am in favor of raising the engine... butt I also gotta see which size wheels ima keep too as it will affect that.

 

How is this going to fit under the hood? IIRC, there isn't 4" of clearance between the valvecover and hood

 

Cut a hole in the hood, duh. Op isn't opposed to needlessly cutting holes in things.
