So I took it out and had fun. I climbed Comp hill no problem in 2nd. I lost my gas cap so I found a lid to some container and i used 2 bungees to keep it on. Then after about 3 hours of fun a bolt came out of my right caliper, luckily I just got back to camp. Then my buddy and I just road around in his RZR. But I did find one thing out, I want the Arctic Cat and or something with travel due to I have a bulging disc I just found out after breaking my back paragliding. I don't like the shifting on this car the gears are really close and I don't like seating in these seats sloped back. I think the suspension seats would help out a lot but again do I want to put money into this thing hmmm NOPE. I am just going to take out 20 grand and buy my toy that I want since my wife just got to buy her Audi TT Quattro which we fight over lol. Thank you guys for putting up with me and to Sandawg for having a little bit of patience with a new comer lol. P.S IT WAS WINDY AS FU!@ bad day but still had fun.

After watching a crap load of vids the arctic cat out performs the rzr. Yes the Rzr will beat it ini a straight line on a road but when it comes to jumping and rough terrain it spanks it. The vids where not one sided also. Plus it looks better than the rzr.

Yep

Listen Dawg I did not mean to come on here and get ppl in an up roar just looking for guidance. I am sorry for calling you and a$$ but really I am soooo confused. My wife just told me though that I can go buy my Arctic Cat SideXside the new one hells yeah. So I am going to have fun this season then go buy that Arctic cat. Just crazy though for the price of that damn thing I can buy a descent long travel rail but my buddy has a razor so I want to kick his butt with this thing.

Bro I am not ignoring anybody and you don't have to be and a$$ about things. I am new to this sh*t and I am looking for ideas just because I am not doing it this season does not mean sh*t. I was told to come here due to there are nice ppl and at first I was getting a lot of help now I am getting slack from you due to me asking what would you guys do with this motor and money. Yes I am taking everything in on what you guys are saying and I am trying to get to know ppl here since I am new. So please don't be a jerk about it. All I want to do is go out and have a good time meet some ppl drink a beer and go fast weather it be in a 1776 or a ls7 <-- joke. So if I pissed you off like I said just very new.

Ok then maybe I should ask this. With this 1776 motor and 1100 dollars to use for right now. What would you guys do to this motor to get the biggest bang for the buck. I am looking on Samba and found a turbo kit for 1400, the only thing it needs is the carb pretty clean. One thing though could I run the turbo stock at 5 to 6 lbs and get away with out doing any engine crap.

Hey I know I am asking alot of ?'s but I found a ej20 motor (Subaru) with trans for 2400. can I use the trans it comes with or no.

Yes. But I was advised if I keep the boost around 5 to 6 it would be fine. But like I am going to be able to stay at 5 or 6 lbs of boost when I want 8 to 10 maybe 12 lol. But I know I will be happy for this season at 5 lbs. Even with that I should feel a nice change.

I know 3 months. Thats why i will be happy with just my seats And a turbo so i can reach 130hp thats all ppl screw the motor swap until next year

Hell i might call it quits and sell the duel carbs and just throw a turbo on this motor.

I figured Sandawg just hoping different ppl with different ideas. Trust me very confused. yes I am going to take it out to Dumont but need these carbs set up first I mean on the gas its great just hitting the throttle there is a little hiccup. I know that I will not be happy with this 1776 motor with maybe 75hp even with the close ratio gearing. I took it to Nellis Dunes and ran fine until the points fouled fixed that problem the next day never again. I am like a kid in a candy store with money burning my pocket and not knowing what to eat.

Ok I sold my 350 and want to either dump the money into the 1776 or motor swap. I need Ideas guys very confused since this is my first car and I want something that is water cooled since it gets hot. I was thinking of either a vtec or Subaru motor. I just don't know what it takes to put this in. Would there be any welding modes or will it just bolt right in stuff like that. Also would the trans that comes with the motor be ok for the dunes since I see a lot of ppl with the Mendola trans "pardon me if I got the name wrong". I have about 1100 grand to blow right now on this another 1800 after school starts. So this my other idea for the VW motor. But a fuel injection kit for it so I don't have to F!@# with these Dellarto carbs anymore cause I just can't get them. I have adjusted the valves .006 recommended, new spark plugs, rebuilt the carbs, accu-fire ignition, just can't find the right setting. My biggest issue with the vw motor is that it is not liquid cooled and I worry about heat. The car is only 800lbs so 160hp Vtec motor would be fine with me not looking to break the sound barrier. I know I have asked a lot of ?'s but the guys that bought the motor advised that there are a bunch of good guys on here that are willing to help, hell I will buy the beer and pay someone to help with these damn carbs to get them right. Or even a motorcycle motor gxr1000. Let me sum up what I would be happy with. Something with at least 140hp on this car since its so light but more is better. Feed me ideas guys. Thank you all.

Small Block 350 4 bolt main bored 30 over 450hp 390lbs tq. My brother built this motor for my Miata as a wedding gift but I bought a sand rail instead. So the Miata is on the back burner. The motor is not stock I know that. It has the manifold but no valve covers on it yet. It has been covered up in my garage and lubed and turned every month. It has never been in a car yet. I am looking to get 1300 for it or 1400 if you want the engine stand OBO. If you have any ?'s just ask I will post pics if you would like. I wish I could use this motor for my rail but it wont fit.

Sorry about that SandDawg was looking for info on different things but ended up talking about everything cause I have so many ?'s. Trying to learn as much as I can.

Wow I can't believe how helpful ppl are here its real nice. Well I have been to the dunes many times but with friends, one friend with his brand new Tatum car and all I can say is holy shi! I had fun. The carbs are a pain need fuel injections but i do know once there set up its real nice. I do want to go but damn its hot. Buddy and I are thinking of Coral Pink in a couple of weeks should be ok up there. All my friends are telling me the same thing just go out and have fun which I will but I am the guy that wants more. Well off to work on carbs some more and adjust the valves if they need it.
