heh. You've never seen how I mod cars. Some friends and I built a 12 second car for under $2500. $10k is a ton of money.

Only 330hp for $10,500? Ouch.

Would that be in addition to the $10.5k? Even still, I'd much rather do a GenIII/IV SBC and have 500+whp before the turbos.

**03RCode** · 02-11-2009, 03:04 PM

Foxbody + 408W + Spray, then drop the rest in suspension.

You can get a crate LS6 for $5,800 brand new with 405hp. Lighter, more powerful, cheaper to upgrade, & normally aspirated

Junkyard 6.0s are like $1200. L92 heads are $1000. A cam would be like $500. Get some 500+hp for less than $3000.

If I didn't need a ridiculous amount of torque for my car's fat ass, this would be they way I'd go actually.

**4dmin** · 02-11-2009, 03:42 PM

mk2 + vr6 swap + turbo = 400whp

**patrick4588** · 02-11-2009, 03:49 PM

laskey racing longblock and a full race turbo kit

**FlipKing** · 02-11-2009, 06:38 PM

v8 swap in my miata. unsure of which yet. Suspension and wide wheels

**WHYTEBOI** · 02-11-2009, 06:38 PM

**Terror** · 02-11-2009, 06:56 PM

.......Direct port nos injection, cold air intake and a stand alone fuel management system.

Not a bad way to spend ten thousand dollars.

Might help if you have a car to put it all on...

**green91** · 02-11-2009, 07:13 PM

Outside of running hard on a mtn. run or with slicks on a road course then a FWD Honda is boring as hell. Cruising? Forget it. lol!

**Z0_o6** · 02-11-2009, 07:40 PM

it would get me almost all the way to my built motor. not quite though.

Putting what kind of numbers out?

**Revmaynard** · 02-11-2009, 08:32 PM

I would probably build a 440 Dart/Duster, a turbo 4.3 Blazer with a t56, or just use the money to get a 426 crate engine for my Cuda. LOL

**xdavidscenex** · 02-11-2009, 08:37 PM

a d14 with 2500 shot of nos!

**Revmaynard** · 02-11-2009, 08:38 PM

What is a d14 out of?

LOL!
I would street port the 8, get some Ianetti ceramic apex seals, greddy turbo kit w/ mazdamaniac upgrade, cobb access port, that should put me at close to 400whp (for real).

**xdavidscenex** · 02-11-2009, 08:42 PM

**Revmaynard** · 02-11-2009, 08:44 PM

I wasn't sure if it was a motor from a non-Honda. Thought I would learn something valuable, but no. Thanks dude, thanks.
