Get used to the platform and how it behaves before doubling the power otherwise your "career" may be short.

I agree with "DriftingisLame" Driftings like 14yrs old news, try Highway battles, I was down with drifting when alot of people in the states was like wth is that? and when it caught on, bang!!! that's what killed it. that's why I don't use the term drifting no more, I say that's a sweet slide.

HELL YEAH! Lets go Wangan! HAHAH! Thats where you can test your car for real!

damn theres some mean *** people in here..be nice..jeez..

thank you too the people who are giving me nice advice and ANSWERING THE QUESTION THAT I ASKED..not all that other bull**** about how you think drifting is dumb..i dont care..i love it...so let me do it if i want to do it...your lame! lol

There is room for all types of car competition or exhibition here. One person's taste is not greater or less than another. Do what you like people but don't hate on others for what they do unless they want you to drink the koolaid.

Let this thread die.

Simply explained my SN because you commented about it. No offense intended.. In fact I tried to help, so...

...your lame!

Your a towel!

Skillz' right

actualy 'your lame' is the incorrect congugation...should be 'you're' since your is possesive, where you're is directed at that person

Thanks Ross.

hey i figured this thread has gone horribly off topic, it couldnt get any worse...i still say swap it in stock and learn the car from there, the stock setup is enough to get you into trouble.then should you really need more power look into the hks gt-rs, and if THAT isnt enough then go for the gt30r.

No doubt.

Ok does this 240 already have the motor in it? I say learn how to drive that thing for about a year learning the cars full limits and potentials while you build up that RB.

You're making a very vast and huge mistake if you're jumping into drifting without knowing how much grip the car can hold. This is the biggest mistake many people make when owning a RWD/AWD car. Drifting isnt something you should force upon yourself to learn, drifting is something that should come naturally after you have mastered grip in the car, otherwise you're going to end up in a world of hurt.

I say this out of concern for you and other drivers on the road. The way it breaks down is . Straight line>Grip>Drifting. The best drifters in the world have used this principle when creating thier own skills. Learn grip and naturally make your own style of getting sideways once you've learned the way the car is going to act.

Im not saying this becuase im a drift fan or nut. I've been racing since i was 12 years old in karting and then moved up to shifter karts around 14. When i turned 16 about 4 years ago i moved into HST, and then Comma series. It wasnt untill 2 years ago that i was really comfortable with drifting with knowing how to fully handle my 240 and have no doubt about how it would react unless my car exploded for some reason.

You have an RB or you dont, at least set that motor in the garage, keep your integra untill the motor is 100 percent done and you have every single part. If you sell your integra and have nothing but your 240 and try to get it running, your going to be kickin it moms minivan style or riding the ol bike.

I agree with Kansei240sx, and that's what we all been trying to say is learn 1st then play. If you rush to it then you pay for it, and plus I don't want any wannabe drifters drifting over my dog, leave that in the track. but if you want a turbo go with garrett GT turbos. you see i'm building my 450~500hp drift car, that's because i'm old and got nothing to live for(plus I've been driving for 12 yrs, 8 was in auto-X) your young , enjoy life. I say buy anyturbo, and hope it fits, that is all

1st off get the swap done. Most everyone here will agree with me. Run it for awhile and see how you like it, before you jump into a turbo upgrade

unless you have experience building these cars and motors just drop the motor in with a STOCK setup and go from there...its alot less of a pain in the *** to trouble shoot a stock setup than one that has been highly modded.

maybe a RB25 turbo or something newer but I would focus too much on a turbo upgrade so soon where there are other important parts that sould come first.

The stock rb20 turbo is a turd. But it is nice to start the engine all stock first to make shure you are running correctly before you make upgrades. That way you know dont spend a week (F)ing aroung trying to find all the small problems when you go to tune for the new turbo ect....

just put the engine in, then have fun. dont worry about huge upgrades till after you learn how to drive the car. Dont take anything personally, im just giving advice.

I dont drive a honda and never will, but i agree with Kamin in the highest reguards of what he said. Learn some more about the motor and how to properly drive a higher HP rwd car.

this thread hurts my brain. get the STOCK swap done first. if you get that running right and reliably you will have tons of fun. after that, think about mods.

Now, if you want to swap in a basically stock motor and do some supporting mods, thats a whole different ball game. It becomes tiresome when everyones first post in the RB forum caters around what turbo to buy or needing directions to a wiring write-up.

If you put the motor in with just the basics - FMIC, Fuel Pump, BOV, Intake, Exhaust, Cooiling Fans - You have a pretty kick as car from jumpstreet, then mod from there. Its the easiest and safest way to go!

Or you could take the smart way and make sure you have a functional vehicle before you modify it. A turbo isn't **** to change out, but a new motor is. I could care less either way and I am not in love with my suggestion but I have made quite a few costly mistakes that have ran me into the 10's of thousands over time.

I agree with the others regarding dropping the motor in relatively stock to begin with. If you do all the upgrades you want before even cranking it up and running for a bit; it probably won't work right out of the box and you'll have a difficult time sorting out which upgrade is causing which problem. But once it's operational the sky's the limit..

I agree with the other dudes on the 'get the car running first' side of things. I'm not saying dont upgrade.. I'm just saying, see how you like the car's power and response on the stock turbo, and let that reflect on your choice of aftermarket turbo.

I say learn how to drive 1st before you do anything like a turbo upgrade, you'll kill yourself.

Learn to drive we don't want to see you or the car get hurt, it has happened.

450 hp in an S-chassis, unless you're incredibly experienced(*), is WAY more than you'll be able to handle.

Has nothing to do with gender, I say that to the guys here as well.

Get used to the platform and how it behaves before doubling the power otherwise your "career" may be short.
