Has Anyone ever Bought a Spoon,Mugen, or Toda Motor from those companies?? I am thinking of buying a spoon motor and i was wondering is it worth buying??

 

what are you going to use it for? if you're using it for street, i would not buy it. they are race engines.

 

Don't buy one for bragging rights. With the money you saved from building up your own motor you'll have extra for all the little things, like JDM lighters and ashtrays.

 

I already have a raced out B16 in my car, but i want another motor , like a B18c spoon. but, i am going to start going to the track alot after semister of school is over

 

ok, i will not buy one.

 

Hehe, I bet you just found out how much it was gonna cost ya.

 

hahaha

 

Check out import builders they build some badass motors.

 

Hey if you need a good deal on some NOS, T66 turbo, and a motec system exhaust, let me know. I'll give you a great deal, just make sure you pay me with a wad of rolled up money.

BWAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Someone has watched that movie a few to many times.....

 

Please tell us what you did to "race out" your B16A if you could please. I own a B16A motor and I'm trying to get some good ideas for racing mine out.

FYI:

A Spoon motor is nothing more than a new JDM Type R motor torn down and rebuilt to Spoon specs and the only thing better is a Spoon head gasket pretty much. It won't put down any crazy-*** numbers and it will be hella expensive because you'll still need everything else for the swap.

Oh and did you mean you'll be going to the track or the strip after school? There is a difference. For drag I'd not buy a Spoon motor, but if you have the money and are serious about road racing the Spoon motor wouldn't be bad at all.

 

I believe "most" crate motors from JDM tuners are only blueprinted motors with a little tweak thrown in. Remember that they need to ONLY survive a few hours in a race, and then they're torn down and rebuilt to spec over and over again.

 

What he said....what's the point of buying a full race motor that you may get 10,000 miles (if that) out of before it's rebuild time?

 

damn man...you must be pretty lucky to have enough money to goto school/college and buy a spoon motor...I'm in college now and barely have anytime to do anything...Nor do i have money to buy anything for the car...Sucks when you have to pay for books

 

I you buy a b18c and dump the money that it would cost to get a spoon you would be set

 

http://www.importbuilders.com will be cheaper and faster.

 

To anyone who is serious enough to buy a full race motor, the rebuild shouldn't be an issue. You can't have full race and daily driven.

 

how about jun? i have a good friend with a stage 3 jun crate engine 230 somthing to the wheels......

 

There are plenty of shops in the UNITES STATES OF AMERICA that can build you a kickass motor. Best part is, you`ll get support if there is any problems.
