engine and drivetrain Engine Upgrade

[PatAllen]

Cause i wanted to find the best economical choice to go with and my decision is final. . .im going to rebuild the to my specifications but nothing too dangerous. Do you have any websites that you get your custom parts from?

i sincerely think you are not realistic, or has very limited experience.

300hp and "economical" are not two statements that goes together.

there is no web site that sells custom parts, since its custom, obviously.

Aim at more logic goals, you will get better results and will be less frustrated at the end.

Hi Wewo,

Welcome to the faq!

Are you doing all (or most) of the labor yourself? This will make it more economical to hit 200hp+.

I ask that because In the context of this car and the usual (and not so usual) engines used (m10, s14, m20 etc), 300hp+ will not be as easy as bolting in a monster motor.

The car simply was not build for that kind of power from the factory. Nothing on the car will survive for long.

Nothing is impossible, but one's goals should be realistic and attainable.

...and your project will be anything but "economical".

I'm assuming you have a 2002 in possession? Ask something more specific and technically related to your proposed project for us to take you seriously and to be more helpful.

Search thru' the many great projects posted on this site. (bigger engines, drivetrain mods, chassis reinforcement, etc) Learn from their admitted mistakes, that's one reason they posted it all here!

Do some research. Ask informed questions. Nothing wrong with ambitious projects. Just don't be fool yourself into thinking that 500HP will be cheap in this car.

Yes i do own a 2002 as you can is my avatar. Thank you very much for bringing me back to reality. I will do some research and find the best solution to my needs. Thank you.

Do you still have the engine that came with the car under the hood?

yes, why ?

its the original engine that came with the car when i bought it. everything around it is custom.

!!!!!!!!!!!!

You mean like the air filter hold down bolts? or maybe the electric fuel pump mounted on the head, or the "custom" location of the coil. If that is how the car is engineered I hope you have quality life insurance when you go to 300 HP.

OH SHIT!!! Sorry Pat, after rereading all the prior posts I see that I am the one who miss read. I thought we were talking about the engine in the picture....not the one in your car.

opppppppppppps Never-mind!

maybe a corvette z28 drivetrain or something? those fancy ford mustang motors? with enough hacking and welding, surely something should be able to fit..

I am glad you have a sense of humor, and I am sorry to disparage your fathers work. I take it back. Good luck.

Its all good my dad is always trying to find a cheap way out of things.

I've found that usually ends up costing more on 40 year old cars..

Here's what you do if you want an easily controllable ~300hp. Trade in the 2002, and buy an old school bus. It's rock solid, easy to control, and you can often pick them up for $500 or so.

at least I can form two sentences in English without 5 grammar errors.

but can you do that in french and the 4 other languages that pat speaks....

and what is your point to your ad hominem argument ?

Jump right in like you make a difference. Also not an ad hominem argument. I am disparaging the writer to respond to him calling me stupid, not to debate his logic or argue the point.

i speak another language as well...with my butt...

oh, shit !!
