SoCaLKiDz Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 First lets see some oics... Second you should be completely different if you can. I would say be one off and put a V8 in it. If you has the money for a bad ass rotary or a rb im pretty sure you can buy the V8. Oooooooorrrrrrrrrr you can find a Honda S2000, rip motor and trans, and turbo the shit out of it. Then put box flairs and it woul be wicked cool But hey thats just my 0.02. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 :lol: wait....:o, no it's :lol: :lol: First choice would be the stock motor, lots of fun with them. Second would be an SR20. This would be the first best chance of getting completed. You have lots of money, place to work on this for a few months, welding/fabricating equipment, tools, done this before? If not the chances of finishing this goes way way down. Quote Link to comment
Everat Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I think if your serious and you have a lot of money then you should do a rb. It requires a lot of cutting and I think they are pretty spendy swaps but tons of power and they just look cool. Rotaries seem like more trouble then they are worth. A chevy v6 would be cool, if you search the web youll find a 510 with a twin turbo v6 and that things sick.NO FLARES and turboing a f20c seems kinda goofy, what makes them cool is that they have 250 hp NA. If you were gonna turbo one youd be better off building up a sr. Just my opinions no offense to Socalkidz. Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 It all boils down to time place dollar's and will power. A sr in a 510 is almost to much power. I love my sr Quote Link to comment
SoCaLKiDz Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Just my opinions no offense to Socalkidz. None taken. Just if you have money why not do something different? It makes things way more fun. I heard rumors about an rb going bad after you pull them.. correct me if im wrong. Just l20b turbo fully built you will has fun Quote Link to comment

SoCaLKiDz Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Well then go somthing lighter. Guy around the corner is building a 600hp S2000 motor for his Datto. Its so sweet. So if you want good power and mileage go SR of KA. SR for power and KA for mileage Quote Link to comment

fivetenguy Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I have a KA24DE with cams and my cousin has an SR. On our run to Santa Cruz I averaged almost 35mpg and the SR averaged almost 34. On our way to Thunderhill we averaged 30+mpg. We filled our tanks before we got on the track. After 4 sessions (we normally don't do the 5th session) of 20min each I was down to a little over half a tank. He had a little bit more than I did. Although, I push my car a lot harder on the track than he does. Quote Link to comment

So if you want good power and mileage go SR of KA. SR for power and KA for mileage A fully built Ka motor has more power potential than the sr. But as a stock motor install the at is lighter and faster, once the Ka is fully built for speed and racing it is a monster of a engine Quote Link to comment

BRE_dAtSuN Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 i personally would like to see a clean rb20det swap... 13b's are gross in my opinion and i've owned 2 fc's and an fd... rb25 is too long and will take alot of fab work... i feel sr's are played out but still super nice i had an rb in the sileighty and i would choose that over an sr or ka any day nothin like race bred motors Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I want to try a ca18det next Quote Link to comment
