Whats the boosted motor in then? Something equally imported but even rustier? Our cruze has only had 2 recalls. One was simply drilling some holes in the belly pan and the other was checking the steering wheel fastener.

I dont build my shit to race. I build it for self pleasure. I through the swap and turbo kit on last summer and ran it all summer without any problems. I soon came to realize how weak the rear differential is, so with winter coming, I chose to pull the boosted motor out, and through a stock swap back in so that I could handle winter with np and start modifying my turbo setup.

I may not even throw the motor back in unless I pick up a second shell, so that I can modify the rear end to handle the power a lot better. I've seen one down in NJ with a Miata rear end and WRX ujoints. If that's the case, an RX7 rear end should be possible too (since all the Miata guys upgrade to that).

And tbh, nobody really makes any of the newer Honda's "fast". But it takes minimal amounts of cash to make any 90's make 300-500whp and easily run 10's with the right setup, for a lot less than buying an Fbody with full bolt ons.

B18B block with GSR head. B20 block's (crv stock motor) walls are too thin for me to be interested in.

No. You aren't running 10's in a honda for $5-6k. Sorry. 4th gen fbodies are the performance deal of the century right now. I think jalopnik published an article about that.

That EG Hatch I've posted multiple times had just hit 6k in his investment (shell and all), and was running consistant 10.5's WHILE driving 2 hours to the track, and 2 hours home.

Let me rephrase.

You aren't running 10's in a honda for $5-6k that will be as drivable as a bolt ls1 fbody.  It's not possible.  I'm talking 120 degree heat cross country road trips, canyon carving, daily driving, etc.  Oh with leather, a/c, and a stereo. Stick up for the hondas all you want. They aren't performance cars.
