Dude, just let him go, it's a futile effort.

I also reccomend you do some research, too. The chances of you building up something like that for 5k or less without knowing how to do anything yourself is not going to happen ... unless you know some idiot to do all your work for free.

Plus ... honestly, limiting yourself at 5k ... the car still isn't going to even be in the 12 range, more like high 13s, and that's only if you manage to go f/i on a 5k budget ... which in itself is damn near impossible unless you can do your own work.
My friend used to be a honda tech at Brandon Honda and has done more engine swaps, turbo installs than Vito Porleone in his sleep. He'll be helping me install everything so the labor won't be an issue.

Well you need to talk to him and tell him to show you the difference between your ass and your elbow.

bwahhahaha, I can always rely on you for a truly sheisty comment from time to time

My knowledge on properly turboing a car is limited, but the good thing is I'm learning the ins and outs of how to properly install one and tune it. I'll tell you what, I've never done an engine swap or any other serious work under the hood besides installing a header/ intake/ pulleys, which isn't saying much, but I'll know my ass from my elbow when we complete this project. And after we do, I'll give you the honors of running against it, at BMP of course.

See, how hard was that? Now you sounds like someone with a thirst for knowledge, not an ignorant moron like before. When you're asking a question you're not supposed to act like you know everything, that makes people not want to help you. Good luck with your project.

Bleh, enough of this bickering. I'm moving this thread over to the Honda tech section and let them deal with it.
