Re: (professor poon)

Stay out of boost huh... Right Not when you have to run 104 octane in a car thats killing gas.. Paying 2.58 for 97 is fine with me i can boost all day long... The srt-4 has the agp stage 4 has to run 104 octane.... and its my daily driver right now.

well since you have an even bigger turbo it should be even easier to stay out of boost.

The H22 also scrapes without some work on it. If it were my car and my money, I'd go all-mota k-series.

smart man right here. But I can tell you from experience, if you're on a budget, DO NOT try a k series.

Re: (e gee two)

i just did a B18c in my delsol. works great. if you want a care free swap without bastardizing the car do this one... if you wanna replace oil pans and headers for a living do the h22

thoes are the only 2 real options if you wanna keep to a decent budget

recomend a USDM tranny though... im killing my gas milage having that JDM 5th gear
