well not everybody does the work themselves..lol...he could want to take it to a shop and have it done.

 

if you want to build an N/A beast, i have someone that you need to talk to. he built his all naturally aspirated and it is a beast. it's a protege and i think it is a 2002.

 

i plan on going n/a with mine....question you could ask him for me is what kind of compression ratio is he running.

 

he runs 11:1 with some serious fuel management and cams w/ adjustable cam gears to keep it running

 

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/352137here is his car. i may be wrong on the compression, but i know that it is really high.

 

whats sucks is that the models with vvt have no upgradeable head work other than vavles, valvesprings and retainers so unless u can get the euro spec head a ecu u cant do any head work but then again ive said this once and i guess ill have to say it again, the only set of cams out are from cosworth and are for forced induction only.

 

looking at the specs on his cardomain page, I would assume the internals of his engine are stock....i.e. stock compression ratio. (unless he's trying to be stealthy or something.) Nice looking car.

Here's my idea of power....

734 hp (on engine alone), 13.5:1 comp ratio, 2-stages Nitrous (200hp/stage)...1134 hp on 118 Octane.....

^^^ ummmm....is that necessary in a 4x4...lol......but that is a bad *** engine.

 

Why yes....yes it is necessary...There are no speed limits off-road

 

couldn't think of a better way to respond to that...lol.

Any picutres of the whole rig. Looks sweet as hell.I have been looking to get into the 4x4 realm of things. ButI don't quite have the budget to get all that..lol. More or less just a nice YJ.
