Rice is the sensible option mate, it will be heroic.

I got my relocation kit today so just need to get a couple of patches welded then the engine can go in and i'll start plumbing everything in.

Pah. The rice power is nice but it's no V8!!

LS1... LS2... ALL good

Every beemer and his dog has 6 cylinders.

But Jai.. Your's doesnt have any..

V8 FTW!! Seriously, remember the V8 Civic video?! The noise was epic!

I'd like a v8 but it's gonna cost too much and will need rebuilding for epic power whereas a jz can make up to 800 bhp plus I donthave the skills to package a twin turbo v8 in the little bay

im with Theo on this.

the v8 will be great for the noise and power but the rice can be super tuned for more power and possibly cheaper so more obtainable.

Its the way i would go. i love the power delivery of a turbo and how tuneable they are, but its personal preference.

What about a Lexus V8? Twin Turbo'd.
It's a win-win situation, rice and a V8.

well stick one of the above 650++bhp LS7 engines in and then add a little n2O on there. you could get a very reliable 800bhp then! and it will; be lighter than the IRON block of the 2jz.....
