whats the best route to take?

Ok i have a k20 swap and i wanna do the k24 block but i also wanna bullet proof the motor by sleeving it and all those goodies..i pretty much wanna know since i have the money should i go a stage 3 fully built force induction(http://blueprintmfg.com) from that site or should i just get a stage 1 or 2...i wanna be able to have a daily driver from this but wanna be able to have that power when i need it. So by doing the stage 3 i know i can just boost like 10 lbs for daily driving and hopefully it will be safe...and i know i can easily get 30 lbs if i need it also with this build...PLZ HELP

I need ur guys opinion i wanna have a bad *** car with the goals for a 10 sec car someday soon...will this work? and if not what do i need to do

Re: whats the best route to take?

Also... your dreams of street dominance are misguided, dude. "Power when you need it" is a simple K24 accord swap. Those motors stock are crazy in our car AND if you ever upgraded to a Type S head it's even more ridiculous.

Stage 33.75 or whatever B.S. is pipe-dreaming for anything less than $10,000 done CORRECTLY. Maybe the welds will blow on the manifold and your floor will fall out.

^^ ROFL. i actually wasted f and f the other day. when that movie came out i knew nothin about cars and looking back at it its fkin hilarious. the rice diamond plate floor mat falls out of the car (no floor under?). they say all the cars are at least 10 second but the races last at least 2 minutes. in the asian garage they had a civic and integra and they were talkin about SR20s. lmfao.

but anyway back on topic. the first thing you need to know when you mod your car is what you want to do with it. are you gonna be a straight line drag dude, an autox guy, or just somebody with a "bad ***" car. once you figure out the route you wanna go with your car then it will be easier to determine what to do with it next.

Re: whats the best route to take?

I've been beating the **** out of a stock d17 bottom end with about 300-ish whp for about 6 months now and have had no real issues. Do a turbo setup right with enough fuel and management and if you aren't going for over 300, don't waste money on a build when you don't need it.
