As soon as I get my dyno tuning done we'll meet up and put this down. I def want to see how things go... Basically the email said how I was looking to simply compare how my car performs against another boosted 7thgen. I'd be very interested to see what does what, and how different mods effect the car. Best we to compare I guess. Good luck, and I'll shoot you a PM as soon as I'm ready to go.

err, your motor is a little off center there...have to put a very fat driver too offset the weight

wow that started as a little joke, but now that I think about it...what do you have on the driver's side to offset the weight? you probably won't notice much difference but if you had the proper testing done I'd be willing to bet you'd be putting quite a bit more strain on the passenger side suspension parts than the driver side

just something to look into if you notice some adverse effects at the autox track. I'm sure if it wasn't so drastically off center it wouldn't matter

it does look very nice though, and I have been known to be wrong every once in a blue moon

thats just how the swap is done. many people have done it and with the motor mounts and all, the engine ends up on that side. its not a problem at all

I think that is a false rumor. There is a thread on h-t where a guy weighed both motors on a large scale and it turns out that the b20 motor weighed slightly more (like 5 pounds) than the k20a longblock/trans ...

lemme see if I can find that thread ...

edit: I found it here

k20a - 403 pounds
b20 - 401 pounds
