Whenever you graduate from wheels and lowering springs to engine swaps (across eras at that) and tuning turbo cars, lets talk. You have much to learn.

 

except I didn't say turbo v6 hybrid. Plus GN motor was implied by use of those.

Now falcon being troll lol

 

Easiest answer is run pipe out hood. Saves weight and can run 5 inch exhaust. kidding of course. I will look forward to moar updates.

As far as tastes, you'll like this one. I used to hate imports, couldn't stand em. Loved whopping them with my 442 Clone. Of course I seen the errors of my ways, thankfully at a very early age so it has allowed me to embrace any and all...except full electric. Tool of the devil right there...

 

gotta love peak torque at 0 rpm doe

 

this cold finally got the best of me, throwing in the towel boys it's been a good run

 

Is kinda like F1 V6 turbo hybrid only better/worse instant torque/lack of noise

 

Learning how to tune has been 1 of the best things I've done with my car. Granted I haven't tuned full throttle on it but part throttle and tip in to full throttle has been a great learning experience. Worth the entrance fee.

 

vaya con Dios my friend

 

I'm gonna mark this down under "reasons not to have kids", Alex.

FINE. Coilovers.

Not sure why they sound so funny. But in person they're pretty loud. Don't require ear protection (although you still should), but definitely can't carry on convo while they pass. But after they pass its bliss.

 

Disagree. Miata chassis is better than s2000 due to suspension geometry and weight.

Only reason I don't like ls swaps is the t56 trans... although the Miata 6 speed isn't much better.
I thought you were cool.

 

teaser of the sad state of the car.

 

Blue you cray fam. LS sounds glorious with a proper exhaust, no matter what car it's in.

 

awwww.

Just too espensive and wide. Not sure the novelty is worth the packaging issues and extra cost. But to each their own I suppose. Good chance I skip Coyote and bandwagon LS for funny swaps. Unless already Ford, then maybe. But wood ecoboost V6 instead more than likely.

 

The only thing I have to base my assumption on is riding/driving a couple examples of each. I'm guessing the S2ks were prolly in better shape which wood make big difference. Weight not as much a concern if swapping in V8 but the suspension is. I will need to find the woman a car to drive around once she feels ready to motor swap GC8. Likely to be a while yet but had been considering Miata.

 

 

Make sure you put intercooler in right place. F150 Ecoboost...ugh

 

K series has i-vtec which gives a much better powerband. Also has a bigger aftermarket
It's a pain to fit and expensive, but that sound and the ability to rev.

My next project will probably be mid engined and that engine us high on the list.

 

You know, those are blue justifications right?

I like the motor. I like the sound. I like the modernity of it's design. But for my own projects? I'll pass. Everyone LSx swaps because they fit everywhere, make great power, and can be had affordably. The Coyote on the other hand just makes great power and noise. But if you can afford it fam, do it.

That goes for too turky.

 

The FullRace kids have got that sorted pretty well. They pick up those shortblocks for something like $400, and then get to rebuilding. Tons of value (HP/$) in those things.

 

Yeah but when you are looking at buying a new F150 with an ecoboost it makes you scurred.

Not to mention I just wanted a truck I could get in and go and would not be as tempted to modify. Yet somehow I am already getting the urge to modify. Will it never stop? lol

 

i no scare. wood F150 ecoboost if not poor.

 

This was at the Ford dealer when I was looking at some trucks. Need the motor out of that for my '86.

 

I was worried, not afraid to admit. Ended up with a Colorado instead. Prob better, shud be easier for wife to drive.

 

Sauber vor Honda Motoren-Deal: Ferrari-Vertrag nicht verlängert - AUTO MOTOR UND SPORT

Translated it basically says new engine from the ground up, with prechamber ignition. Honda says they can supply 2 teams in 2018 if given notice by Monaco GP to ensure logistics for delivery to 2 teams. Sauber has not extended with Ferrari for 2018 and would be a logical partner.
