First question any one will ask is "What's yer budget?" Second, What are your plans with this engine. And I always ask, what restrictions do you have to adhere to? Like smog restrictions. No sense in building a 300hp turbo engine, if you have to smog the thing. Or a 10,000rpm screamer that won't idle below 1500rpm.

So basically, what do YOU want. It's really all that matters.

Oh yeah, what engine are you starting with? 4AC or 4AGE?
One shot, one kill.

I've got a "doner AE82" (FX16) that has a VERY strong engine available... it is NOT slow...

Building a great engine takes knowing the end... before you begin :ugeek:

Enjoy Life... its the only one you get!

It's the 4age sedan, my budget is around 1500, I don't mind the thing not being fast, I have my truck for that, I mostly want to show it
