Car looks great, I'd focus on the engine.

However I'm not a fan of a blower or nitrous on a street car, more to worry about, more possibility of part failure

How much of the work can you do yourself? Are you confident pulling the engine? How about disassembling the engine? Taking the intake off?

Your car is super nice and if you have done all the work/modifications yourself then I have no dought in my mind that you are more than capable of any internal engine modifications.

The 4v's may have the same mounting points. I would call procharger. They were very helpful when I had a question for them.
Confirmed its a different bracket. I will, but they are closed on weekends. This deal is supposed to happen this weekend. Don't want to delay my friend as he is moving to FL next week and don't want to waste his time if he can sell it to someone else.

I think the car looks good as it sits. I would ad a blower and enjoy driving it. I'm not sure what differences there are between the termi engine and yours but you might be able to put the termi blower on your engine, I've seen them for sale cheap and with some port work it would definitely boost the power output.
It looks ok. Just wish it was lower to give it some sort of wow factor. Termi engine uses C heads, mine uses B heads. Eaton won't sit atop without the C heads. A c head swap and eaton would cost almost as much as a new centri. Thanks for the response!

Never unassembled a motor before but I did swap my engine in my truck onto another chassis followed by the body swap. Mods in sig all done in my garage minus the gears. I think I can do a blower install though, but I wouldn't attempt a motor build. I'm not quite there yet.

Boost!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's the way to go! lol Just wish I had a GT 5.0 pushrod so a blower and hci set up would be cheaper than the value of my car lol.

yeah I mean whether or not its boosted regardless the more power you make the more likely a part failure. So if you want a car you dont worry about throwing the rod out of buy a civic :laughing5:
