This pertains to the "17 year olds getting Z's" debate...
I see you are hard of understanding, Junior, so I will type slow and use small words. She did the identifying, not me. Granted it was pretty easy in this case. And I seriously doubt your story about standards. Having them, I mean.
But all of this is beside the point. What I really came back to find out is how you and gidiup form a circle with just the two of you.

looks like your comparing it to the k24a4, the worst of the bunch which also only has vtec on 1 side of the cam duration. the longer stroke of a 2.4 also helps out with torque. alot of swaps are from the the tsx k24a2, a higher comp 2.4l. or the rsx head on the 2.4 bottom. its been done over and over and has shown much better gains over the standard 2.0l. reading into things and research helps when your modding. being niave doesnt.
..... Im not even going waste my time. IF she has a Base model RSX why would you swap an engine for 30 ftlbs of torque? Makes no sense to spend that much money for just that. I still think its dumb and a waste of money.K20A3

well you just contradicted yourself by finding the time to find all that, and copy and paste it. also, note your on a 350z forum. where tons of work and money spent on bolt ons yield a very limited gain. that seems stupid to me too, but hey, 3/4th of the board members here do it.
btw the base model rsx doesnt come with the k20 motor that everybody loves. thats the type s. the base comes with a luckluster a3 motor, and the type s motor swap is very common on base rsx's.

And yeah I posted that the A3 comes in the base if you actually took the time to read that than being a smart@ss you would know. I guess I can't win with a Honda Fanboy.....

find me one 350z with bolt ons that makes over 300rwhp on stock block de. please. swapping a high performance motor into a base model car makes more sense than spending virtually the same amount of money and time to get bolt ons that yield a limited gain. tell me how that does not make sense.
do you work on your 350z? have you ever touched an rsx? an engine swap from an rsx takes slightly longer than your basic header install on a z. ask me how i know.
anyways, rsx girl that im defending, i feel i deserve some noodz or something

Now back to the original reason, I see it as retarded because instead of swapping you can just boost the stock engine for a little more and have way more gains. That is all, Nudez on the way.
P.S. If your looking for a cookie I don't have any....

im not about to read this whole thread lol but its not the age of someone owning a car, iits about the responsibility that individual has...age 18 or 87. Ive owned three cars in the past year, . i went from a mk4 jetta to a k24 swapped rsx to my Z that i will not be selling anytime soon,payed for all of them, do my own work on ALL of them and now own the car i love, an 03 enthusiast 350z. Im 18, and have respect from many of the car groups around here. its not age, but responsibility...and knowing how to hold your own.
oh yeah...Im a chick too

no theres just no other way to describe a turbo'd rs eclipse other than a shitbox. honda fanboy lol, with an 800+rwhp z, and a track prepped z. sounds like a hondahead to me lol. i guess when somebody makes too much sense, you have to comeback with 17 year old comebacks. trust me, when i want my comeback, ill wipe it off your moms chin. lets not forget your place. sammich, pronto! leave out the sand.
