justntime Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 I got rid of my turbo 3.2 honda and now i need a new one. What should i get? Honda, Chevy or Subaru? Dont forget I still have a 091 that just got rebuilt. Maybee I should get rid of that too. Quote
Randog Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Why did you get rid of the 3.2 Honda? What needs are you trying to fulfill with a motor change? I'm a Honda guy, but I have a 2seater. If you lug around 4 peeps all the time you may want to go with a more torquey motor. But of course keep in mind your trans limitations. R- Quote
justntime Posted April 23, 2008 Author Posted April 23, 2008 TO keep it simple I had to, it was not my choice. But never the less i liked my old motor justs wanted to get some insight from all the homies. Quote
SandSoulja Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 I suggested this to anohter guy a few weeks back. but if your looking for something super reliable and pretty fast I love the cadillac newstar motor. my old mans got one is his SU car and it really runs perfect every trip... almost like having a regular car motor in your buggy. you cruise the whole place in third gear, from a put to a high speed bowl.

JoeDuner Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Stay with the honda, just go with the n/a 3.5 . Quote
indasand Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 chit about rails but but people are loving the turbo subi's... from what I read I'd PM 1320 or yoshi but remember IDK chit... Quote
justntime Posted April 24, 2008 Author Posted April 24, 2008 Stay with the honda, just go with the n/a 3.5 . how much power dose that make like that? Quote
dunefreak Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 You should try something like an LS7 twin turbo. ya know...but mild cam and all. Don't go overboard with a K&N or nuthin. Keep it real yo. Quote

Talk w/ bp-guy. He runs that motor in his car and it makes plenty of power. Just don't let it go low on oil. Other than that, he is very happy with it. Quote

1320 Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 I wuld make the decision based on parts (when it breaks) and engine management choice. Personally Im a a megasquirt kick, based on options and price. But the ems stinger and 8860 are good. Im using modified megasquirt 2's running ms2 extra code now for ls'1 based engines. The primary reason I like the ms stuff is it allows two seperate ve tables, IE dual fuel. For my turbo cars, its 87 octane off boost and either race gas or e85 on boost. This keeps actual use cost down . The same thing could be done on a high compression na engine too, only usig the good stuff when you need it. ems stinger...= 800-1200 8860 = 1200 or so... ems pro (based on megasquirt 1) but has nice features = 900 mega squirt 1 or megasquirt 2.....= $410 plus harness and maybe some options.....the ones I run are loaded and I get the harness and its $573.00 + some hardware changes in the box. You do need to know more to use the MS stuff.... Quote
justntime Posted July 10, 2008 Author Posted July 10, 2008 I might be able to lay my hands on a 5.7 hemi crate motor. I think it would be worth changing some springs out dont you think? probly makes more power than i need with efi but they make a carb intake for it also. well see what happends when its in my shop.

barefoot bob Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 you can get a complete ls1 from flywheel to accesories clutch headers efi system ready to bolt in for about 7500 bucks of course the tranny would have to be changed out as well Quote
RAGDOLL MX Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 ill sell you a Mini Mog motor!...aint nuthin beatin that 660 3 cyl!!! WOOO HOOOOO.... from what i understand, the subi's are light weight and putting out quite a bit of HP, and i know that guys are getting these motors for about 2K from Japan with about 30K miles on them...I really like How Joe Duners car sounds, and it seems to keep up with all those pricey V8s out there...but then again i dont kow Chit about rails....

That motor would make your car handle like crap and blow your tranny up every 2 or 3 trips. Honda!!!! Quote
