dubman 39 Report post Posted June 10, 2010 +1 F20C package, but it'll cost more than a turboed m20 setup in terms of value for money? I like Honda's DOHC VTEC. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeddy 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2010 What ever engine you go with, i'd think one of the most important things to factor in an aftermarket ecu and tuning. If your wanting really reliable power with the option to modify it in future, i'd think something along the lines of a Link G4 would be the go. I'm not sure how much one of these plus tuning goes for but i imagine it'd be a sizable chunk of your budget. However, having the piece of mind, and future proofing has to be worth it.

Mattzy 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2010 I guess it depends on what you want the car for. Either way, 10G aint much. But I'd want a 20v 4AGE as close to Atlantic spec as possible. Daily driven and revving to 10k. Listen & Imagine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
