unlless its a rotary engine. 3 houre rotary swaps are common.
I think your getting rotary swap times and 1/4 miles times confused.

to make the story short, one of my friend's friend saw my car and he had his girlfriend with him. Then his gf ask if i wanted to race. I said sure. Then she started make fun of my hatch saying if her bf race my hatch it would be a joke, cuz racing my hatch would be racing a geo metro. My setup is jdm h22 with lighten flywheel, act clutch, basic i/h/e. But i told her it was stock. But i do like the wrx. I dont have anything against suburu's. His was stock too. She kept talking ---- like it would be a waste of time, my *** would of got own, and more ---- to **** me off. She was being cocky cuz they barely bought the wrx like couple months ago. I didnt say anything cuz it was my friends's freind girlfriend. I have repsect for ppl. But after that they still didnt want to race. I guess they view the wrx being top dog, and my hatch being nothing performance wise. I think she wanted me to response and say no i shouldnt race but i said yes. Maybe i should say no to everybody that wants to race me. Oh well that's how its always gonna be, viewed as a grocery getter. And it wasnt even me trying to egg them on. So yeah thats the story. Plus I dont back out from races even if the odds are against me.

A couple of weeks ago me and my friend pulled out my motor and turbo kit . Transfered trans, intake mani, oil pan, wires etc to the new motor. Put it all in. Hooked up turbo all in about 8 hours. To bad the ****** didnt start.

most of my honda swaps only take anywhere from 5-8 hours... If our LS-Vtecs are put together and ready to drop in, itll take about 10-12 hours if we have to make our shift linkage and ghetto rig the wiring harness and little probs like that... like putting an LS-Vtec into myfriends 97 DX 4 dr civic...

More boost and shitty ring seal = piston blowby.
Excessive piston blowby = pressurized crankcase.
Pressurized crankcase = blow oil past the main seal.
