Whats the Plan now??

Kind of inbetween 2 different angles. On 1 hand I have a BP dissasembled in the garage along with acl race bearings and full gasket kit. All I'd need is rods,arp head studs and rings and I can be done with that. Then she'll get 14psi of a T28.

On the other hand is what we discussed. Not 100% sure I want to go down that route but things are still in the air. Either way I'm aiming for 250-300whp.

Ordered 2 row aluminum civic rad with 12" slim fan. Pics coming soon

sweet, i'm really curious on the rad swap! mostly curious about the rad hoses haha, since i'm sure they'll be different diameters.

JACK.

with route #2 you wouldn't need a civic radiator to run that t28

[Mazda_Powered]

yea, but he needs a rad since he sprung a leak...lol.

Exactly lol. Why not go ahead and make some room. The setup with t28 doesn't really need the civic rad but it sits so close that I'd feel more comfortable running 1.

Also the option we talked about(ryan) I have almost no knowledge about as with option 2 I have a lot. Its still on the fence so you never know what will for sure happen.....hell I got offered to trade a full v6 swap for my bp swap last night....I'm still thinking about it.

The only way i'd EVER want to swap a damn KL engine into anything is if i was exempt from emissions testing.

Because honestly? The KLs SUCK BALLS for passing. The EGR valves fail and the NOx goes up 2-3x the limit!!!

Assides from that, they have some good power! VRIS help out a lot, but make sure both are working or the car will be PIG SLOW.

KL-ZE are nice all motor, but it has to be very well tuned to get good power out of them. The turbo route is so much easier and besides the engine bay does not look so tight.

Waiting for updates (no hurries), looking good!
