Turbo or new engine? Help!

But seriously, OP, go research on those sub forums before you ask clown questions bro. You, in no way, need to be messing with anything on this car yet. Learn, and then ask questions of things you don't understand. Not the other way around.

My next question is, is there any other engines worth putting in that have the same motor mounts so I wouldn't have to mount new ones?

OK this is a very telling statement!

I swapped the D16A6 out of my Honda into it and threw that FA20 into my Honda...

It was a decent engine, but I had bigger things in mind. This car needed kick, so I swapped in/hired 3 dwarves to live in my engine bay. Between the three of them, the car puts around 180-290whp give or take depending on if its a Monday or Friday. This wasn't enough though, the dwarf bay was getting too hot for the temperature gauge to read, and so I had to think of cooling. I grabbed a water cooler off of my computer and filled the reservoir with tears of a unicorn I had lying around. This provided maximum cooling capabilities, as well as giving me a modest increase of 30whp. Next was the Turbo. I went to my local torrent site and downloaded Turbo (2013) and threw it on a CD. Took that CD and put it in my radio and now the cars got a bumpin turbo. Lastly I had to deal with all of the bitches that were suddenly attracted to my car. To resolve this I slammed the car and tweaked in some dope ass negative camber. This resolved the panty dropping and now I just attract the occasional highschooler and get greeted with mad street respect. Ah, just what I wanted.

Pretty sure this bolts right in. Should take 15, 20 minutes tops with just a 1/2 inch wrench and a Dollar General socket set.

Buys brand new car to swap engine! Smartest idea ever! And for under 5k

OP, I have one of these. Works great.

[tahdizzle]

Pfft. Synergy 2.4l v8 probably a cheaper swap.

If you're "genuinely interested" you would genuinely read the significant threads on this very topic in the Engine/FI sub forums.

Don't act like you don't just want human interaction. It's okay to admit it.

Tcoat gives out great advice to those who are worthy of it. A kid who is asking "WHAT KIND OF ENGINE SHOULD I GO TURBO?????" is not worthy

He's missing punctuation there.. I believe lexically he's trying to ask which is cheaper to get maximum hp. LOL. smfh.

Cheapest speed upgrade is to find a hill, and go down it. Any road with truck turn-outs is usually good to go. You don't need to upgrade to BBK's with those around, which is a plus.

Sucks for me though, I live in Florida. The only hills here are called "landfills".

Considering a state swap.
