Default Stuck between rock and hard place.....need opinions.....

Okay, so I bought a custom turbo setup T3/T04e with everything....the fuel management is the MF2 system. Okay, soon enough, I am going to have about $2000 - $3000 to spend on my car. My 2 options, as i see it, are (1) Hondata 2b, RC 440's or 550's and tuning on my stock 101,xxx mile block OR (2) Golden Eagle sleeves, JE 9:1 and Rods. I am kinda leaning towards the block, then Hondata at the end of summer, but I need some serious input here......help me out, thanks.

Haha, nice avatar dustin. Anyway I agree, plus hondata, injectors, and tuning shouldn't be much more than $1000. Save the rest for the engine build, otherwise you are going to have a built engine that you can't even take full advantage of b/c you are limited by your fuel setup.

So, it looks like you guys think Hondata.....now I must ask why??? I am just afraid that my aged block will not take well to boost.

Better to manage an old block well than manage a new block poorly.

Would you believe 11 psi in a 10.7:1 C/R B18C5 shorty? I've done it, and am doing it thanks only to Hondata and Tom@Payn. The **** works, what good is a built block if it could blow up at the stroke of a bad FMU disk? Just my $02. EV.

good point, but i'm not relying on an FMU disk, I'm relying on MF2
