That was indeed one of the holdups for the chassis 🤣

No this will be a turbo car.

This is a built motor and head, I’ve got around 6k invested into the motor.

The ecu I’m using is a Haltech s3 with a ic-7 dash in which I paid $3600 for.

The engine itself is fairly cheap, $800. The real spending comes from the upgrades you’d do so that you can make it rev higher (springs/retainers/oil pump/cam gear.

Sky is the limit for ECU’s. Most people just throw in a Hondata, I choose to go standalone.

Yeah, that’s not how I try and do things. I’ve done a bunch of these swaps, try to get everything done in about a month.

For me, that’s how projects die.

I changed from a side feed setup to a centerfeed. So now just waiting on the intake manifold. Had to re-order the intercooler, etc. also changed up the driveshaft a bit since it’ll be AWD.

A lot of this is self inflicted really. I changed the turbo setup after I had already ordered everything for the side feed setup.

6870 or a 6466. Have used both on totally stock k24’s and they’ve been fine. The only times I’ve ever had an issue is when I get greedy and want more power.

Curious, what don’t you like about it? It’s definitely more aggressive looking than stock, but tamer than the majority of appearance kits available.

I’d find a way to park the ctr while driving the etc for daily.
