Well for some reason I have been thinking about dropping my all motor honda shit. I have thought about buying a s13/14 and dropping thee ole turbo motor in there.
Personally I love the way the S13 coupe looks with the frontend conversion. But I am not too fond of the interior, then again it's a cheap chassis.
I also love the s14 chassis and love the interior on that fucker.
Now comes into play which motor to drop in that or to even rebuild the KA. There is a company down here in south florida that does the SR swaps but mainly builds KA cars and there numbers are pretty impressive, I believe I saw 300/400rwhp from a stock internal KA motor pusing 1 bar.
Then I am thinking that I will just throw in some cash into a nice s14 front clip since it only costs 700 more than the s13 blacktop but has the intake manny that i want, and if I got the s14 chassis it would match up the chassis and I could use the spare parts from the front clip such as replacement calipers, shocks, etc..
but I wanted honestly throw some rasty shit on this motor, I have seen very nice top mounted turbo setups on these motors and they weigh a little less than the KA so that would be nice also.
then as I contemplate more I was thinking that I could for sure swap in the rb25det myself and to possibly give that a try since the front clip for that motor is 3500 bucks which is as much as an s14 front clip but you get more displacement and cyclinders along with a much more bulletproof bottomend.
I definetly don't want to go wtih the rb20det,,that is for sure.
Also the sport of drag racing is starting to appeal less and less to me as is the world of honda. The scene is really what is killing me here where I live and I honestly can't take it anymore. I am literally embarresed to say I tune hondas, most peoples responses are like "you mean like 2F2F dude" then I have to explain shit and the way I do things and they don't understand for the life of them and I ended up wasting 20 minutes of my time.
so HS members give me some input??????
Let me know what you B,E,pills,Calista,other B boys think??
