I've probably read them already but I can't remember at the moment. lol yeah they were basically giving it away i HAD to jump on it. the way i figure... why spend 600 on a block (3rd gen) and spend 2k on a standalone when i can get a complete 4th gen for $999+shipping, and sell my old turbo to get water meth and reach the same power goals i wanted with the turbo upgrade (330-340whp) i plan to keep it stock turbo, upgrade downpipe, keep my FPR on there, and current electronics. later on down the line get hold of an AEM water/meth. gotta buy new axles first and hoses etc. i was thinking about just putting my Tial W/G on, but this one from what i understand should be fine for now -------------------- QUOTE (Galcobar @ Oct 15, 2008 - 2:44 AM) You want power but have no money.

Aren't 3rd gens going for more than that? from what i understand yes! but that may be because the rarity now? idk. from what doc posted on another thread, 4th gens seem to be coming in more and more, and that became obvious to me when this company (jdm engine depot) has sold 3 of them sub 1200 dollar range. It seems to me that the caldinas are now approaching the japanese mileage restricitons and the motors are becoming more common. they told me this one has about 50-60k on it (which is about where the other one was iirc) but then again that could be inaccurate? -------------------- QUOTE (Galcobar @ Oct 15, 2008 - 2:44 AM) You want power but have no money.
