    It's fun! I'll actually be charging the battery overnight, and tinker with the car tomorrow if the weather holds up. Came with a new car dontchya know! I'll need to drop the gas tank and likely blow out the fuel line(s). Metal gas tanks are a sure thing of the past.

    As for your old Honda, I'm not that far ahead of you at 67hp! 2hp on a 1500hp car should definitely be noticeable on the butt dyno. Got any pics of it? Great first car!

    LOL I was gonna link that video haha How long has the car ya bought been sitting ? I still have a metal tank in my car and your right everything is plastic these days .I actually don't have any pics of my first car as it was a 1977 civic hatch that I bought in 1986 lol remember I'm old and cell phones were not in everyone's pocket back then like they are now with cameras. Hell we still had Polaroids that ya had to wait for the pic to develop after it came out of the bottom of the camera haha here is what the car looked like though



    it was a 2 speed Hondamatic only had 2 gears I use to run 1 st to 55 mph then 2 nd I blew up 4 engines in 240,000 miles but could change em out in mere hours lol I am trying to think of a good name to suggest for this project but am drawing a blank right now .

    Thanks! Not sure yet, that's what's next to decide. First will be the battle of K20 or K24, and second will be attaining one.

    She's an original beaut! You blew up 4 engines back then? Some things just never change.

    I'm not sure how long the car sat, but the big fuel pump and metal tank part should be fun.

    A k-something and boosting it, yes. We will have a hell of a manifold to show the world how it's done!

    The car is going to be drag car right? If so, I think a k20 would be the best bet as you can rev much higher and you won't really need the extra .4 ltr of displacement from the k24 and boost will make up for that and then some. IMO the k20 is better for a turbo almost entirely because it can rev higher.
