I just don't get why you would want to swap in a F20B and drop displacement. Kind of an oxy moron for wanting more torque :P Maybe swap in a B16 while were at it? Either drop some serious cash or spray and play. You're only 17, you're still figuring out how to actually drive the car and not just push peddles and steer, and I mean that with best intentions. At that age I probably would just go with spray and use it to show off to friends. I don't think I'd start out boosting, wait till you know more about engines before that. _____________________________ USE ME TO SEARCH HAF PWOTY 2008! (in reply to HORSEPOWERJUNKIE2007) Post #: 18

HPJ: getting a V6 and then making it turbo is nowhere cheap, nor a good idea on those crappy trannies... _____________________________ 2000 Accord LX i4 Turbo AT 18" Konig Unknown Rims MSD 6AL Gold Line Suspension Apexi Neo Few other Mods...

Easy there!  That's not nice and I'm sure also not true!  There are plenty of things in life for different people to be interested in or have studied.  When I was his age, I didn't know anything about power adders except for the basic functions, but I could have schooled most sound experts on wave propogation.  I didn't know about customizations or airflow design either, but I did a ton of reading on car stereos.  As we get older, we broaden our knowledge, but never discount what you knew at a younger age because chances are what you knew then still holds true now.  _____________________________ 2006 Scion TC (ZPI-18G pending) 2000 V6-AT (RIP 3G) Temp Search thanks to Finch13 (in reply to HORSEPOWERJUNKIE2007) Post #: 22
