Updates on the project....sorta. Since i work at honda, i might be able to get a free y8. Its sitting outside for scrap metal so id take it apart first, but a free y8 is a free y8. If its not too bad, definitely a build in the near future, or if this falls through...itll be a built ls swap/gsr tranny/itr oil pump

well of course Id take a free motor, but i meant thoughts on built y8 or ls swap... lots of problems with y8s under boost. Anyway, got some info on the y8, its not blown up, it just will not start. whatever tech worked on it tried a new dizzy, new plugs/wires, its getting fuel, new starter and alternator as well. It will just not turn over or if it does, it dies within a second or two. Not sure its wortht he work then

hmmm that's a toughy. i heard that vtec and boost don't go well together. plus you'd have more torque with 1.8 as opposed to 1.6

boost and vtec...plus the turbo you have plays a huge role in the torque you get
