ozzimark Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 and we all agreed that the cvvt is almost useless for performance gains... The way that volvo controls it, yes, it's for emissions. Thus why a custom VVT controller + map would be made I was discussing this with Eric earlier, and concluded that my goal isn't for maximum power with the least effort, it's to overcome some difficult challenges that other members on here don't seem to want to address, and keeping as reliable of an engine as possible while doing it. I figure the smaller 2.3L block is a good start down that path B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Bondo Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 1500 to replace your used engine with a slightly less-used engine? 1500 buys h-beams, new oversize mahles, and most of the machine work needed to build your existing engine and actually end up with something better. Small changes in headflow blah blah blah are useless when it could still chuck a rod out the side at any moment. If you just want a fresher motor and have no serious performance goals then yeah a low mileage replacement might be an ok option,. but I would rather spend the money on nicer parts for a rbeuild. Change the valve seals on your existing head and do a bit of port work at the same time and call it good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figure $3k for R motor - R mani,greens,k24 included $1500 for M66 $1500 for tune + labor $1k-$2k + exhaust - OBX $500 + install and cat better off buying a full R thats wrecked and using those parts and if you cant do 100% yourself the labor will eat you alive. what I paid for mystuff put it this way busted R motors go for the same amount :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
