I think it's about $.90 cents to a Canadian dollar right now. American dollar sucks now.

I know, it's great

would i be able to put a turbo from a 2.0L mx6 on with not alot of work?

Unless you get the turbo kit in the group buy that's happening, all turbo work on the v6's will be custom. But even then, I've heard mix opinions on that turbo being too small.

ok thanks, what about stronger and lighter rods? Where can i find them?

i wanna try to make a good n/a car

stonger generally doesn't mean lighter...

i never said stronger meant lighter

no but you said "Stronger AND lighter"...

unless you go titanium your not going to get stronger steel rods that weigh less...

oh I know what you mean, im not trying to argu with you,I'm pretty knew to cars really, im used to working on single cylinders like dirtbikes and quads

hey i herd that a millenia is the same engine of a klze but its cam setup for torque and low end power am i rite or no?

never mind about that....should i build a N/A engine or just save my money and buy that nice turbo kit being sold on this site?

Ok well look at it this way....

What is your honest goal with this car?

Honestly if you will be happy with 175-200hp then go all motor....BUT for the money you spend of building a fast all motor you could build and even faster FI car.

Personally im rebuilding a DE with forged rods and forged 9:1 pistons and boosting the hell out of it. But i know now that its gonna be a long hard $$$$$ road. If you rebuild the motor now for boost and stay in the 9:1 range for compression the motor will work fine as is until the turbo kit is built.

It acutally wont have much less power then a stock DE but it will be indestructable and boost ready.

Then it can do wheelies!!

Myself, I am doing with the all motor setup. Horsepower isn't really the main factor either, you also have to factor in powerband and responce, but that depends on what type of racing, Drag, Circuit, AutoX, etc.... Having more power doesn't necessarilly mean you'll be the fastest. There's a guy I know, he has a KLZE Mx-6 running 13.6 all motor with standard equipment and bolt on's, and I believe some porting and slicks, no tuning has been done on it yet, so it's gone plenty of potential left.
