Haha did you actually buy that LS/VTEC built motor that was posted for sale up on here like a couple mts ago?? If I'm not mistaken that one is identical.
yeah man, if you read this thread it's in here. I went and checked it out and it was built right! I won't even tell you what I picked it up for but it was too good of a deal to pass up. I've added a few things to it and just double-checked clearances and torque specs to make sure it's not gonna fail anytime soon and it seems good to go. I hate buying pre-built motors and usually like to do my own stuff so there's no second guessing but it was too good of a deal to pass up. Down the road I will be changing out the type-R cams but they're staying in for now.

My plan is for now to get the motor running and tune it as-is and daily drive it for a little while. I will do a few small upgrades like a new racing radiator/slim fan, upgraded cams, and anything else that i feel could be beneficial for a daily driver, but that's it for a while. I'm hoping for around 250HP or so with this setup and I'll be happy with anything close to that. That should hold me over for a little while. I already have a JDM front so I need to put that on and then I'm doing a cheap flat black paint job after I finish all the body work I want to do. I will then focus on the suspension and brakes and drop some serious $$$$ into that. Then I will shift my attention to the interior and do the roll cage/seats/harnesses/custom dash and guages and other "race" items. Once that's done, then I will go back to focus on the engine and make some changes and boost it.
