Hybrid with a turbo. Any weight issues? Understeer?
I know the b series engines weigh more than the sohc engines and was wondering if putting a b series engine with a turbo and large fmic would increase weight that much. I remember holding my friends greddy fmic for the gsr and that thing was pretty heavy. I dont know the exact weight, but does that thing help to create more understeer. It's all the way in the front which i would think helps to create understeer. Would it compare to a hybrid with an H22 understeer wise? I'm just thinking random **** here. Looking back at what i just wrote, i want to clarify that i have no problem with the weight of a swapped bseries, but the whole fmic thing kinda bothers me. And for you hatchback guys, wouldn't it be better to have a coupe with a b series engine for more of a 50/50 weight balance. Seeing that the CTR has always been a hatch, i feel that this question is stupid in a way, but is it possible that a coupe would handle better due to more weight in back. Sorry for the book, just gots lots of things on my mind.
