well yesterday i was at one of my friends house helping him out putting on coilovers and when we were done he took my car out around the block andcame back. turned off the car, and i wanna say 15 minutes later i leave. so i peel out of first, chirp second and get to a stop sign. i turn left and halfway down the road the car shuts off, i hear a loud thump like something fell out of the car. needless to say the car wouldnt crank, we tried pushstarting it, i had a faulty battery and gave it a jump and no go. my friend thinks i threw a bearing, if thats the case and i gotta do engine work i wanna go ls/vtec. granted its alot sooner than i planned but i wanna get 250hp out of it so it can hang with the big boys. what suggestions do you have to get there?

all motor LS and make 250whp no way whth out a huge shot of N2O.

Boost is Best.

well get a vtec head for start so you can go ls/vtec. build the head P&P, valve job, Springs and retainers, and a good set of cams.
then for a fairly cheap bottome end for all motor ITR Rods and CTR pistons you should yeild good CR and make some good power.

If you spun a main bearing, you don't have to tear the whole engine apart to fix it.

No reason not to go LS-VTEC now since you don't wanna go boost.

OH YEAH :thumbs up been doing research and it looks like oem type r pistons and rings with eagle rods is in the near future. i already started working on suspension, so get that out of the way first and then all motor
