View Full Version : your opinion on what to do with 10k
If you guys had 10k and you guys are in "my" position, what would you guys do?
I currently have a jdm b18cr which is due for a rebuild sooner or later due to valve seals going out.
Would you use the money to rebuild/restore the b18cr?
or
Would you use that money and upgrade to a jdm k20 as the engine is newer and has more potential if you decide anything later on down the track?
*NOTE - N/a only, no boost!

lets say you had a eg with a b18cr and it already has the usual mods
sussy, i/h/e, tune, etc.
with 10k i would sell the headers and exhaust system, i then would proceed to www.full-race.com and buy a turbo kit with a top mount manifold with T67 turbo up the boost to 15 - 20psi then i will kill myself then repeat life in that order
ORRRR if your gay
sell the original car you have use that money ontop to put a deposit for a house

we dont really know what your "situation" is.
are you saying that the above two choices are all there is?
I would get the JDM 98 spec ITR to immaculate condition and leave it that way.

buy me parts! :p
still have plenty of change left over!
Because I was planning to go k swap due to my engine just started showing worn valve seals symptoms.
Still runs strong with 148,xxxkm on the clock and a compression ratio of 185-200 mark in each cylinder.
but I just want to rebuild the car so its more reliable as its my daily car also =]

Your situation is changing by the minute! Update your 1st post. Its hard to 'be in your position' if you change your mine every minute like a gal. lol.

Reco the engine properly and put the rest of the money in the bank.
Stick to your B-series IMO. Build the head if you're desperate for more power but otherwise, if you enjoy it how it is, just leave it :)
A reco'd B18CR (top and bottom) will pull exceptionally well anyway.
