I'd take a WRX any day.

But, anyways, my plans are to get a B20b/z bottom end, put forged rods and pistons in it, plus a cyl brace, and a B16a Vtec head that has been machined to fit the larger bore of the B20 block. All of this will be put on a Drag Gen3 turbo at ~8psi. That should produce somewheres in the range of 300 horses to da wheels on a type-r tranny with a gs-r final drive gear. The larger displacement of the B20 block will gimme some more torque, plus the turbo adds a buttload.

I am no fan of a fartpipe. I dont drive a weedeater, I drive an Integra. I wouldnt want a type-r because you cant turbo a type-r without swapping pistons. Plus, they cost like $50,000 and with that money, I can make a type-r killing machine.

I like to do more with less. I may lose the race, but I burnt 1/3 the gas

I dont care about the fastest car. I just want a car that will run with the fastest car, and have half the cylinders plus good looks to boot!
