ROFL @ Ruff

[nigie]

damn disappointed in the engine choice for the scort.

Should've used a Kent 1600 with a 28/36 Weber, Janspeed header, Zigs cut 1/4 race cam, 3 thou off the head, Accel Super Coil, all mated to a Rocket box. And rolling on Ghia steelies.
Thank you,
Ruff

Zigs cut???? Ruff should b banned.....

no need, as most tuners now won't even think of running carbs in their cars anymore.
maybe just a select few.

but there are the:
f22c
3sge
ka24de (if yuh could find one)
or the ever so famous l28
all injected, yes even the l28 has a fuel injected version.

but nevertheless to each his own

**walks off mumbling oh well its just another box lancer type swap to me**

[wagonrunner]

moti,

1) the weight distribution of a 6cyl to a 4cyl does affect handling
2) yuh calling it a box lancer swap, but only mention two nissan engines in that list of 4.

[Bezman]

uhm they could have hide that intercooler behind the grill and get A+, but i'll give em a honest B++ in my books..

[MG Man]

i pretty sure it was intentional
wow factor nah
the sleeper car is a lost art locally
trinis like to hang their ballsack for everyone to see

[cinco]

buh is a built drag car
for efficiency i understand the exposed intercooler on this setup
a hidden intercooler @ 600hp seems very risky

[moti]

moti,

1) the weight distribution of a 6cyl to a 4cyl does affect handlingunderstanable, however tell that to all the old drag men out there that was running a l28 and doing well (now this does not make it right eh but it can work with a little more attention to the swap)
2) yuh calling it a box lancer swap, but only mention two nissan engines in that list of 4.now don't get me wrong; you can put other nissan engines in your car and stand out in a crowd like mathew by pro bar on a friday. it's just that although the SR20 is a great power house it's just way to common. i mean you going down the road and a small car pass and you hear the blow off you will tell yourself yup SR20 inna that

but again, to each his own.
these are just me comments and opinions

[eliteauto]

so what? a proven engine with tons of local support, parts and knowledge, lots of aftermarket support too, in a dedicated drag car where that's what matters, I understand uniqueness in say a street car where you want the wow factor but for drags.wow factor=cost=harder to get results

[Rooki3]

everybody hates on SR20 cause



























it works, it gets the job done!!!

[moti]

yup, understand also your point eliteauto

but again, why build something based on the easy to maintain stuff
i mean the engines quoted above by me all with the exception of the ka24de will be hella easy to source parts for.

now if you telling me its based on every tom dick and babolall know how to tinker with the SR locally then fine i really understand where he is coming from by using the SR.

but no scene no need to go on and on about it cause the engine is already in the car

[moti]

rookie3, i personally don't hate the SR series of engines, comming from a nissan background and all.

heck i even owned a p11 primera with one but well you'll get the idea of what i speak of eventually

[eliteauto]

now if you telling me its based on every tom dick and babolall know how to tinker with the SR locally then fine i really understand where he is coming from by using the SR.

It's exactly that...Ryan can wire 4 SR swaps in a day it's THAT common lol

[kurpal_v2]

Anyone know of any fiat panda's or CRX's that might be for sale locally?

[SUNNYB310GUY]
