turbo civic putting in work

For $5K, you'd better get a lot more than 250 hp. $5K can get 700+ rwhp on a Windsor or LSX platform. That makes up for the weight increase.

Again your back on the V8 vs Honda shit.... But to argue, I don't see anyone buying a foxbody, winsor block, and good heads for 5k then making 700hp.. The motor alone with parts and machine work would net you maybe 450-500hp, and that's a 420ci 351, then you would need the kool aid to hit 600-700.. Turbo kit would cost to much, unless your a fabricator..

I see your point, but go ride in a 250-300hp N/A honda that weighs 1800lbs..

I can build a 408 stroker out of a 351W, put some TFS TW 225s on it, OTS cam, and that will make over 500rwhp all day long. 250 shot in it and you are over 700. That is a lot more power, and foxbodys can be lightened to under 2700 with ease.

I know all that man, still need a light car, and susp.. Your comparing apples to oranges though!! Go back to your V8 thread
I've been there done that, my dad raised me on pushrods, and circle tracks! I've worked on the mud motors, I'm good man.. I have no where near 5k in my whole car!! I might have 3k in my motor/tranny, then the 600 shell which has every part in-tacked!!
