Engine swaps are not that expensive.

ok shahriyar..

sorry i couldnt get back 2 u... earlier...

there is nothing to do to ur engine as it is too small...

even adding a turbo would not get u around 200hp...

one thing i realize is that, in bd u can import all the mod parts but our country lacks the complete expertise required to properly install the parts.

so i can only suggest is keep ur current car the way it is and later sell it off wen ur gonna get ur new car and use the extra money to add in ur desired modifications.

plus if ur gonna get a new car, then get sthng atleast a V6 3.0L engine, then you should have a stock 170hp+ wch u can add a turbo kit with intercoolers to boost it up 2 250+ hp...

if u need some ideas...

visit this site

www.cardomain.com

and chek out the rides, especially the civics, accords, that are modified 2 the max...

i just love that site.

nice pics anionz...liked the sub on different angle......creative and different. :)

american muscle?
lo

ur main concern would be to have a good weight to hp ratio...

having a heavier engine would mean ur killin ur hp over more weight...


thus it would require for u to have a higher hp to get the same acceleration and speed as u would want, but which u can achieve with a smaller engine and lower hp.

dunno if u understood what i said...

but lemme give u an example...

this civic si (hatchback) beat a evo 8 w/turbo at 16psi
how?

the civic si even though has a engine with a lower hp, its weight to hp ratio is higher... and higher torque...

so my suggestion...

get urself a jap engine with a turbo and intercooler installed,

if ur into serious racing...

take out all the seats and install only one racing seat...

ur objective would be to reduce weight from all possible aspect..

install lighter wheels with low profile tires, dump as much as weight as possible..

if u saw my car, i have dual 12' sub in a box and the total weight is aprox. 200lbs including the amp...

so imagine, a 200lb increase in body weight... that is killing a lot of my ponies....

so i removed my backseat to adjust for the increase..

i hope this gives u some idea...

so no more back seats in ur car. how much weight will be reduced ??

about the same weight i put in...

165-185lbs approx...

i live here by myself with a roomie...

and i only ride with 1 frend at a time... so its all good for me...

thankx Anionz...

i get it ... i even have some idea about it..

i am thinking to buy a old 70's corolla and then swap engine.. and i know it wolud be blast.. because.. those car are lighter then modern cars.. and used to have 1100 cc engine.. and they used to go fast..
so i am thinking to go with a powerful 1800 cc .. if and only if i can fit a new powerful engine in it......
