I would take a read at this mans testimonial...And some others as well.

Turbo Redtop

Supercharged Redtop (long read)


Personally i dont have any advice to offer on my own. Although i am still in the works with my redtop build, its far different from yours and the best advice that can be given, was already typed.

But i would definitely read the links above. Alot of people have traveled down this road from what it seems.

links already posted on page 1. read them both. But thanks for re-iterating the importance!!

And not a lot of people have been down this road from what I can tell... its charted only by those who have $$, no girl friends or wives, and the time and energy to devote to making something fully custom...
Luxerys most of us don't have including myself

Lol no problem, im here to make sure the point gets across....Umm to others, hahahaha....but it sounds like you have much to work past in this endeavor....Good luck and ill just sit back and continue to monitor this thread....

holy shat..... i'm speecheless

that would be nice!! for $3,600 plus an aem stand alone $1,200 with another $500 in tuning. That setup is capable of another 100whp to the beams motor. $5,000 for another 100-150whp not bad, plus unique factor

after so much money he quit?

he spent years developing that, he barely finished couple months ago, gives you the idea of how much power he did not make, because he wants more..

sorry guys, just look behind the curtains.

the beams is an awesome n/a engine as is, but if you want more power from it, better forget it. as it will cost you, and in the end you wont be satisfied.

thats his story... its sad, but true

He's not quitting. He's going bigger.

I think hes going to sell it... but then again maybe not..

wish him luck.

that is not worth it to me. i wouldnt spend anywhere near that much money for 100 HP

Seems like a lot of work to end up with a 3sgte with vvti.
That might not even make as good of power as a 3sgte swap

GEEZ ALL YOU DEBBIE DOWNERS, we know you can spend that money on a 3sgte a get twice as much hp. price is not what we are after.

i dont know what everyone fascination with the BEAMS is. its still an iron block engine that only makes 200HP to the crank. the power to weight ratio is just not there.

They could have made it out of aluminum.... you and I both know that. But from a cost standpoint i'm sure toyota said hey... we want the same block and we could make it out of aluminum, but that would mean re-making the dies etc etc.

I think of it as a more baller 1/2zz that doesn't burn oil, has better power and torque, and is a direct bolt it that has a really nicely flowing head that looks nice in the engine bay, and looks good with the red valvecover/intake manifold LOL

just a motor smaay.... frankly I"m not impressed with 3.0L+ v6 only making 200 flywheel hp

The v6 is more about the two lol
It feels a lot faster than it should be lol

yea they could of made it aluminum. Also to my surprise the 1990+ Acura NSX already made aluminum engines. I thought it was only late 90's technology.

btw smaay finish your swap already. that way we can have a meet in so cal and would like to see that v6 power!
