Hey guys. I was wondering YOUR opinons an if you think it would be better to spend a lot of money on a cosmo install, or taking the same amount of money and keeping 2 rotors, but making those two rotors really move fast?

13BT cuz 12k won't get you a good install on the 20B I hear that you need like 20k or more for a good transplant.

Steel

true true. although im looking at a stock install for the 20b once i get it in, mod it after i get more money. But it seems that i could get a 13bt to be pushing out nice numbers with the same amount of money for a stock 20b install. But then again, a 13bt will never be a HP monster like the 20b. But im not sure if i want a 500+ hp monster or not. Decisions decisions!

In all honesty, with 12k to buying a new 13bt ported rebuilt motor, new turbo FMIC all that jazz, what kind of numbers can i honestly expect? I want to shoot for the mid 300's range, but i have two totally different ways of doing it.

Also, im not afraid of spending money on the car. This hunk of metal is my passion, so dont be suprised if a few years from now i have a gajillion posts on this board and have spend 40k+ on the car.

decisions!

lol I have spent about 5k already includding 2k on the car itself and I think I am approching the 6k USD mark soon. THat does not include maintenance either. Don't ya just love money pits

Steel

yeah. fun. yay. i wish more of my money spent on this car was mods and not repairs..and gas.

Well expect gas consumption to go up if you get a 20B by 50%.

Also whats more of a novelty, having a 20B, or a modded 13BT.

Or you could buy a cheap FD.....

definately 13BT.

For 12K you can rebuild/streetport a 13BT and put a 60-1 on it with a Haltech. This will put you in the 11s. How fast do you want to go?

Steel

fast..
