Question for speed men

[shake d livin wake d dead]

I would like to know how much does it actually cost to do an entire engine mod,for example sr20 turbo,taking into consideration short term and long term problems,or would it be better to buy a car which you don't have to interfere with,it may not be as fast as using an sr but u get my drift,something like Rx7 or 8, or probably wrx,

thanks for the info.
and please aint want nobody who feel they know everything posting here,cuz real s*** does start.

buying speed is cheaper than building in the long run, but building a project is a lot more fun.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

makes sense,there

[belalegosi]

what would be considered an entire engine mod?

[shake d livin wake d dead]

well id say,moving from stock engine and doing an entire conversion (turbo) the full works,going all out and getting ready for drags, that's what i think.

[belalegosi]

install vtec solenoids and have fun.

[belalegosi]

check bamboo

wait...you saying that you want track speed?...or street speed?

your question is as vague as his

[shake d livin wake d dead]

i was just wondering which is better, doing an actual conversion from stock to whatever,or just buying a fast car,n u have i don't think track speed is such a good idea so im guessing street speed,you know something just for drags.

the building is always fun..but it depends on who u doin it by. If u kno someone personally or YOU urself know alot about the ticks and tocks of ur ride then go for the build, if not stick to the buy... then it depends on the engine and how much mods u doing on it, cause too much mods can screw up in the short term and if its for street, then that mite be embarassing...... who that doesnt sound like knowing too much bro... Good luck

[shake d livin wake d dead]

sounding like buying is lil safer than building so far,thanks for the info ppl.

[belalegosi]

building it properly and not driving like a clown would keep your car running for a long time.

on the other hand.. you buy a "fast car" and driving like a clown. Wont last long anyways.

rx8's are slow.

go pick up some vtec solenoids from bamboo. Preferably from the h22 motors. Those had the biggest solenoids. Drive to your electrician and ask him to hook it up for you. Any competent electrician can do it.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

well i'd imagine ud say rx8 slow cuz fast for you might be like wow, aint looking for nuttin to reach your standards of being fast,lol won't even want to imagine what you all consider fast,id prob say r34 or 35,not so?? the 8 lil faster than the avg vehicle i think,so it could work for me.

[bushwakka]

^^u tell him bai

[shake d livin wake d dead]

what's the sense in having so much of a 'fast' car an no where in trinidad to run it, so id say just the average speed is good enuf.

[5forward]

doh start that "no where in trinidad to run it" talk please...

[shake d livin wake d dead]

lmao sry bro,for my general knowledge,what's the issue behind that type of conversation.

[wilddog]

if u really like cars building is best
......fun........

[suzieboy]

if u really like cars building is best
......fun........

....An That's if u reallllly like it bec chances are u would run into headaches that are unforeseen so prepare urself if thats the route u taking. but in the end that headache wud all be jus a dream if ur project turnout bess.

[rossi]

OP...I see what's going on....buy the rx8 and do some minor mods to it. You will have a bit of fassness at your fingertips.
You don't want to buy an engine and do a whole setta mods to it that will take time.
You want to get on the street! So go ahead with the purchase of the car.

Ryan in the Bamboo installed mine in the Tezza, I used the F20B solenoids cause I intend to go boost and my car has a leather interior, even now as an N/A car I does wet up Banzai's boosted Legacy

when you start building--- you never stop

The real question. Panty.

If you buy you get panty.
If you build, its still a grocery getter on the outside, so you hadda fight down panty.
So you hadda rev up stop light to stop light, you hadda rice out the car a lil bit to show it have some speed. You hadda beat she man in a h/way run. All that drama.
So if the ultimate goal is panty, buy.
Men in rx8 does get panty and the girl dunno the rx8 doh have 2 horses to rub together.

panty

[zcarz]

buy a subaru or an evo, good fun, small engines, you don't need to do a thing to them. key is do research and buy a car that you can pull a lot of power from by simple modding (i.e engines that come with stock turbos, parts easily available, stock internals can handle a lot of power).. it depends on what you want really, i can't say how much modding you want to do, and what you want to change. Simple case, VG30DETT vs RB26DETT. The VG has a bit more torque and stock is slightly more powerful that the RB but simple things like changing the air filter and exhaust will boost you 40hp on the RB, which you won't get from the VG, so if you're gonna build get an engine that's friendly to modding and not a pain to work with. if you know you're not gonna do a lot of mods then buy whatever you want.
