Stupid fast car build...
ok, as some know i'm planning to get rid of the integra. I want something that i can work on in the spare time, fabricate one of a kind parts, and most importantly be absolutely insanely stupid fast. I don't really care it if won't get traction the first 3 gears...i'll just put it in 4th
The donor, a bmw 2002....it might be fugly to some but don't really care. It's extremely light and even the eldest of old farts respect it. First thought was to figure out the ultimate bimmer swap for it, without a doubt would be the 250+ hp S14 (E30 M3) engine. Price: lololol, nm...scratch that option Second option, M20...2 liter with tons of torque from the e30 3 series...and add a turbo. It's still an option, pricing it out now.
The other direction, probably be cheaper in the long run and quite possibly be one of a kind...
SR20DET w/ a GT28rs and a mild build putting out a conservative 280-300hp. Power to weight ratio would be 15% better than a dodge viper and 80% greater than S2000. With those numbers a 4.0 second 0-60 is possible...as long as it gets traction
OR the 3S-GE BEAMS blacktop puts out nearly as much power as the 3S-GTE from the MR2 Turbo, minus the turbo's and added on dual VVT-i. If i can find this swap out of a Altezza RS200 z-edition it will come with a 6 speed gearbox. Once it's in and all fabbed up i'll look into dropping the stock 11.5:1 compression and adding a turbo....until then i'd settle for 210hp 6 speed in a 2,000lb car. Power to weight ratio 20% greater than an S2000 and halfway between a Porsche Carrera and C6 Vette...0-60 right at 5.0 seconds.
The only problem i forsee so far is the rear end...will most likely need a custom driveshaft and don't have a clue about a differential. There is no possible way the stock bimmer rearend will handle that amount of power but i think the e30 may bolt up to it. Maybe just need something completely differant and off the wall to make it work
