The way this guy spells and describes things is making think this "race engine," is for his hott wheel or his soap box car

i love how guys around here just run their mouths to see their post counts increase. you see to forget that YOU were a newb once too, and there was a time where YOU didnt know **** about ****. why even bother being an ******* like that. if you're gonna post, atleast stay on topic. reported, cause you're a homo IMO

anyway, go with ls/vtec and boost it. from what i've heard/read, the hp/torque #'s are awesome for the $$, and its WAY cheaper than an h or k series swap.. leaving you with the extra cash to get the gadgets to make it all work right, and still have $$ to play with

gl, hf, and post pics of your progress!

Ha... had to quote it, made me LOL.

Back to topic...

jpn211... do you know your if you engine is running well right now? I've seen TONS of swaps where people complained it wasn't fast enough, when the thing wasn't wired right, or timing was off, some kind of huge bottle neck... etc...

Before you decide that you need to swap, make sure your current setup is performing like it should.

IMO he does sound very newbish. But I woundn't go as far as ro flame and curse at him. We were all newbs once, that is true. But my suggestion would be to do some research (I.E. search a couple of forum archives, read some books, ect) on the subject. Then see what you want to do with the money you've saved up and go from there.

spoon sells fully balanced motors mostly B-series they sell them on Rare-trick.com for like $5200 but still cheaper than a k20
