Don't know what build I am doing yet...Maybe a 2.7 turbo drift car?
Im not really looking for stealth. I want this car to be in your face when all said and done.
And to everyone else, I am not stuck on ITB's, I just think they are awesome and the higher rpm power they make is a plus, but I just don't want to spend the dime on a bolt on set.
With that being said, my plans obviously change often with the car. I have not committed to any build yet besides the fact that I already have the stroker crank bought. Pistons have not been bought yet so I'm sure if I'll go for boost or high compression ratio. NA is cool but limited, boost isnt as cool of a build as NA but when I want more power, just up the boost and hope it holds

Why the M20 and not an M50 based engine?
I hate doing engine swaps. I can do them don't get me wrong but just don't like doing them. And if I am swapping anything its getting a v8. Plus I am a firm believer in the fact that putting the wrong engine in a car effects the balance unless the money is spent on the suspension, and quite frankly right now I don't have the funds for an engine build and full suspension build. And I LOVE single cams. Don't know why, but I just do
Stay 15s and run 225/50 Toyo RA-1s. You aren't going to find a better way to put the power down than that without radical amounts of bodywork. Plus, you get the benefit of a stealthy look.

Yeah they just won't center up and just a few other little issues
Thats why I said "part 1" but yes I would need 2 more
:hitler::hitler: Now wheres the fun in that. But yes your probably right. I might do a 3.0l Turbo build. My limiting factor is tires right now, but I just bought a set 17" tarmacs and tire choices are a lot more for 17's then for 15's. So I might just do some flares to run 245's and do a turbo m20

I took two sets of '98-'99 GXSR 750 throttles ans spaced them from whatever the stock spacing was out to 102mm for my Northstar. If those are individual castings, it's not that hard.
If each casting has two throttles, that's a bit different.
A member on here (bullet ride) has a very nice ITB set up that he is running on his 2.8L stroker. Take a look at his build threads very good stuff in there
Probably be about the same cost and easier to drop in an s54. Just saying...
