complete engine overhaul questions.

How is it so inconceivable, I see mags and shows on tv for example "top gear" that feature cars like a WRX, an EVO, or a RX7 or any of those cars ALL of which have a much smaller displacement engine, and in the case of the top gear pep it was a 1000 HP EVO 8 I believe. YES I understand that's AFTER it was turboed, but you expect me to believe that the turbo alone is producing 600 of those horses? U have to be about retarded. And then say a motor that's ALMOST double it's size can't make half of that on it's own? It doesn't take much. Mine dinoed at 368 FWHP bone stock. Bolt on stuff ALONE would get it close to 380-390 if I did all bolt ons available. Just puting a good pair of heads on an engine helps dramatically. Or at least it does with a old V8. and guess what? It's the same dame thing, minus 2 cylinders.

I think that vvel **** would probably be a tuning issue and would probably have to be worked around entirely IMO but all it really is, is an electronicly "ecu" operated and timed variable opening and closing of the valves. regardless of cam lobe being more aggressive "because thats the difference in a race cam" and keeping the valves open longer or opening them faster its just a matter of tuning the rest of the system to accept the new variables and tolerances . but other then that this is clearly a hypothetical question as it stands. And who cares what it costs? I'm asking if it can be done and if anyone has a real professional opinion about it, not your opinion on financing. My situation is simply time sensitive, and if you must know I'm going army special forces next may. But paying for the car UNTIL then is the issue, not after.

I didn't say I don't know how a transmission works or a clutch or anything else, I told you I'm old school muscle car. Have a question about a torqueflight trany? How about a ford 9in rear? Or whether you can put 351 windser heads on a 302 "Aka boss" then Im the man to ask. But if you ask me about all this new ****? viscis rears, quad disk dampened clutches and all this other ********? No I DONT know much about it. It's called learning, so how about a little respect and not insta flame someone because they may not know something you do? How about trying a nifty technique called teaching.

I see no reason to even doubt it can be done, I simply asked if anyone knew how.... And where to aquire the parts to do it. It's not like I can just call up JEGS or summit, for some reason the Japanese car tuner market feels it needs to be far more exclusive and complicated to work on these prissy picky *** cars. It's like babysitting an autistic child trying to work on these things.

Did u ever think that maybe I was ok with investing time and money into trying to figure it Out like a true mechanic rather then be a ******* instant gratification whore and go the easiest route possible because of any lack of real knowledge? Aka turbo solution. Most people talk big, but don't actually know what it really takes to build a race engine. Not just a stock engine that's blown, procharged or turboed.
