Well I figure this car will be pretty quick with just a v8 swap. So I plan to enjoy it basically stock. Plan on just ls6 intake, nice headers if they can fit, torque converter, and a good tune. Then it should be a fun track car I can enjoy. Later down the road add some spray, then when I am bored of that. I want to pull the motor. Maybe find a 6.0 instead at that point then build and boost. But that's a long way from now. And how fast I get bored of cars it may only get the first part heh. I picked up the parts I needed to repair my civic. Going to do it tomorrow, get it up for sale. And start looking for a nice fc rx7 as my shell. Civic will sell real fast where I am at being a vtec 5 speed coupe. So hopefully in the month I can find a shell. I am contacting the guy about the motor and such this week. So I can go see it run. Then find out all the parts I need off it for the swap.

Darn wish I had my civic already sold. I found a bone stock red 1987 turbo II 2500 OBO. Sure I could get it sub 2000.

The great thing about potentially getting this car is if I pull and sell the stock motor and tranny it will pay for itself almost since they sell for 1500 or so around me for the full turbo 2 swap

Maybe I will buy it any way. Just no garage space since my 240 comes back next week finally fixed.

There is no reason to pull that 5.3 in favor of a 6.0 for a turbo build in that light of a car. The 5.3 will hold the same or more power in stock form.

Don't worry my build thread will start soon lol

This
Only reason to go 6.0 is for the bore size but on a turbo setup it does not really mater unless you are going for insane power.

That thing is so ugly..good god ew

Go for 4 rotor
