i have it in a coupe. i have to say i can't complain. it revs like a B-series and has an amazing 130hp from a 1.5. My only complain is that the engine is completly torqueless. that is why it is dubbed the torqueless wonder.

I never had one, but I've done some research on them. For $250, it's a great buy. Decent power out of a smaller engine. Not bad at all. I would get one if I had an EG or a CRX/EF or something. I think it's one of those "good for the money" kind of deals.

I have one and was surprised of how high this thing reves. There isn't a whole lot of low end torque but I plan on going turbo so that won't matter. I raced my fiance in my CRX/ZC and she pulled on me in 1st gear and 2nd, then I pulled out in front.(Thanks vtec!!) I would recommend it. It has much more top end then my ZC does. If you do need help with info or parts make friends with the select few who have done this swap. Info is a bit hard to find...or it was for me....
