TN Viewers choice! Help me decide what to do!

I'm gettin ready to swap another 13b into my FC and I just wondered what I should do with my s4 n/a motor. I'm looking for color schemes, porting ideas, etc.! Also looking for color ideas on my engine bay! Help me out guys! The more ideas the better!!

Depends on what car you're putting the old S4 motor into, and how much money you want to spend. Black and white would look cool but wouldn't stay clean for long. PPort. It would be like a really loud zebra.

I might just build the block and use it as a spare or i might just sell it. Everybody I know does black and white so i was thinking more off the walls colors. I'll either use it as a drift motor or just a show motor who knows lol. C'mon ppl! Any idea is a good idea to me!

Orange and a deep red. But i'd go for a chrome engine (but not all chrome) as a show motor, if you have underglow in your car and have it directed at the major chrome parts in your engine. It gives the car a whole different/amazing look.

Personally ill have a black/red motor as well as anything else under the hood being either black or as red as I can get it.

It all boils down to the color of your engine bay and matching to that, or matching to other colors scattered through out the car.

thats.... I dont know what to say about that.

Only orange I expect to ever see is the stock cluster...undercarraige could use a good scrub though thanks to TN clay having stained all the undercoat.
