Agreed, if you gunna fvck your balance up anyway you might as well go the full hack. quad cams, standard forged pistons and rods, you can balance a coin on the rock cover upon idle, on many accounts they've ripped well over 800hp on stock innards, just a very nice engine, twin turbo friendly too :wink:

Well aside from the hexedit that you could do which doesnt work anymore anyway, you could select the skidpad track
and do big 'nuts around it and earn yourself a couple of points for each race.

does anyone have an unlocking method for that game aside from actually paying for it? all i do in that game is drift and
do standstills, i dont really want to pay for the online play.

i no longer own my starion (sold to a mate for $1200 with 2 spare engines and heaps of parts). hope to get another one
in a coupla years tho.

If ya wanna be different chuck a 20B tripple rotor in it.. even a 13B turbo.. that will get ya moving! probably much cheaper than new holden motor 2.

good to work on considering you would be able to stand infont of it in the engine bay.
one of the weirdest things ive seen is a 13bt in a 260z (or 280 ir 240), there was soooo much room infront of it.

i wouldnt bother with a holden 6 maybe an 8
vr4 swap would have 2 b the best all round
i've done the 1j very tight fit http://austarion.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1657
the rb series with the inlet being on the drivers side would be a much better fit alot more room, for aftermarket parts plenum/manifolds & turbos dont need 2 clear and dont heat up the brake booster
as said the rotary would have miles of room, and dont weigh much!
i wouldnt mind xr6 turbo running gear
but lexus v8 twin turbo :shock:
mmm 2many possibilities:roll: just depends on what youre gonna do with it i spose
just my 2 cents :beer
when the clutch pops the bullshit stops!!!
