Anyway, I have few questions as I am newbie:
1. If you paint the V8 cylinders in heat resistant red paint, would I get like 10-15 hp? If not, at least 2-3hp?
2. Also, I want to add one of those turbonators in the intake - +10hp easy I reckon.
3. Did you need a tune for this modification or the stock ECU will do the job just fine. I mean it can learn the settings on the way, right?
4. And the cherry on top: VTEC. I used to have a Honda and thought that I could just install this to my new 86. F... me right? 20hp here I come.

Anyway, given the speed of this installation, I reckon all these mods should take me only 5 minutes. What do you think?

I reckon US should give up on the minutes/hours time measurement and use this as a reference, therefore 5 -10 minutes will become "one V8 swap".

Your advice would be greatly appreciated as us, Australians have few cars with v8 in 'em and we would love to start taking the car scene to the next level.

1.I know the heat resistant red adds like 5-10 hp because my friend did it to his V8 but I painted mine Blue because blue isn't a hot as red I mean that's common sense right? So since its cooler it added like 50WHP without a tune.

2.Bro just save up 100 dollars and you can add a turbo kit and put like 50 PSI in it stock bottom end no problem.

3.I don't know man it depends how smart your ECU is, I've had books sitting on top of my fuses from the factory so mine was pretty smart and learned it on the way, it might be different for each car.

4.Add some VTEC stickers to the exterior of the car and on the engine, I heard the more you add faster the VTEC kicks in.

WOW, Dude your knowledge in cars is infinite.
1. Ok, blue you say...I mean i was thinking green to be a bit more economical but then I thought "Hell I am not driving a Prius, right?" so I decided to to painted white and leave the green out which will result in Pink colour, which is cool but a bit girly, unless you do it to collect some donations for titties cancer or some good cause. (In reality pink is white colour minus the green wave lengths because of the human eye).
2. OK, I will do that.
3. Oh the ECU right...I reckon you can use the ECU as a portable Hard drive and shit...I will try to put some old books and stuff. See if it learns that. ,
4. Whoo dude, hang on! So you mean to say that if I put some vtec stickers will defo' be enough? I have few with turbocharged and supercharged too! You reckon they will kick in when the time comes? I mean it will be super awesome: bottom end have the Supercharger kick in, 3400 have the Vtec "spool up" and then 3500 have the turbo kick in...poooowa! Please see below the setup i am going for.

Bullshit like this pisses me off.
If you're going to brag about what you've done, you have to be accurate. No fudging the numbers to make yourself look better. You obviously left out the time it took to yank the V8 out of the donor.
Friggin lying trolls...

Yeah trolls alright..i mean we need to also know how long has the factory took to make the engine. When you swap intakes or any other parts the time starts when you have the part you want to swap and the other part ready for the SWAP! PLus even if he need to specify how long it took him to take the V8 out of the car, I dont think i would be more than 1 minute or so. V8's usually fall out by themselves. Chillax bro!

The v8 install shouldn't take more than 10 minutes. Never!

It's #3 and #4.

What? I did a V11 swap by myself and I'm lacking skills, speed, and a beer drinking stopper.
