- i wouldnt think that 250whp would be impossible with an 8k budget. hell....stock type-r's put out what? 210-220? i dont have all the details figured out but i have a general idea - sleeved block, 12.1-12.5:1 compression(as long as it can be run on pump gas) pistons, skunk2 pro series cams or comp cams....JUN maybe? full port and polish on head, intake and exhaust side valve job(i know a guy who can do the head work better than ANY machine- Buddy Jentzen, old drag racer from back in the day), dual springs....the works.

Stock Type-Rs typically put down 160-170whp.

JUN cams/valvetrain are awesome, but you can get similar power for cheaper. Give your buddy a try, I'm just partial to RLZ, so I recommend them when I can.

if i do decide to turbo it can i run turbo cams on a N/A engine for the time being(if turbo cams are necessary for FI motors-could i run the skunk2 pro series or comp cams stage 3-4 on a turbo motor)? or would it hurt the engine?

The overlap would kill you... Best cams to run for the money, GSR. Tried and proven on many 800whp+ setups.

i was hoping someone would give me a local place, if not i was gonna ask. it would be a bitch to ship a block to cali and back on top of the cost for the work. they have a website? (ill check anyways)

Shipping will be the least of you worries with this project. Pay for the reputable work, trust me. Whenever your head walks first time on the dyno and your $8,000 engine blows up because the "Shop that would do it for cheaper" forgot about the dowel pins, you will have wished you paid the extra money for proven work.

was it tuned correctly????? it shouldnt have dropped in HP because he had higher compression.... maybe he should have used race gas/or chosen a more streetable CR.

No, both setups were tuned dead on. Too high of CR without the cams to use, will cause a loss in power. Bradstard's 252whp Type-R only had 11.9:1CR...

even w/ a sleeved block capable of 40-50psi of boost id have to use like 9.5:1 CR pistons???

John Shephard runs 10.5:1CR on 60psi.

i wanna hit 11's.... then ill go from there..... ive thought about making it strictly a racecar and then just getting something else to drive..... another crx....lol

Street ass busting cars are really fun man. A full weight CRX with 230-240whp all motor would be quite fun. If it's not enough, spray a 50 shot, and a guarantee you, you'll be happy.

A friend of mine (slodsm, around the net) mad 207whp all motor. Ran 12.4s on the motor, sprayed a 50 shot, and ran 11.98. Nitrous + A nice all motor setup =
