so is your car boosted?? and ls/vtec is koo but then the motor will burn out, unless you have it done by a shop ls/vtec burns oil alot if i was you i would just drop in a b16 or b18c1 or b18c5 or h22 what kind of car you got??

currently i have a 96 ex coupe with the d16y8 with some bolt ons... so im just saving right now for either building a nice single cam turbo setup or possibly an all motor setup

i really want to go turbo cause of course it would fun to have, but i wanna be able to give my v8 friends runs for their money haha

Midnight Performance is the real deal. i had warren tune my car and he knows what he is doing. i've hung out with him and kevin a couple times at the track, very cool and down to earth guys. i highly suggest you use him.

lol i don't have a hatch any more, but yea all you need is a LS motor or B20 with a six puck clutch and gsr or type R tranny. in my lady car thats what i put in her car LS with a six puck and a gsr tranny. and she has 96 ex coupe

yea that does sound a like cool setup... but my boys are running mid 13's to about high 12s... im not necessarily trying to 12s (yet lol), something around high 13s at least

for the most part i want to be able to hold it down for hondas and four cylinders
