how much the engine can push out stock block while being semi safe
and most importantly FEUL MANAGEMENT. thanks guys

nice cars, i like them. But if you think honda's engine bays are tight, your in for a treat. There is absolutely no room and i mean none, they stuffed that ---- in there somehow, probably with the intentions that nothing would ever come out. I'd consider it though. Get a regular one, not the 2+2, they are longer and just dont look right. later,

honda engine bays are far from tight, i could probalby hide in my engine bay. yeah i know that those engine bays are tough but 3.0l rwd v6 tt power is a bit tempting.

i agree, anything except the real new hondas, the engine bays are wiiide open. wanna see crammed? try a work van with a small block sitting under the dashboard. CHANGE THOSE SPARKPLUGS LMAO!

I'd say do it. And yea those bitches are tight! I was changing the oil on one and the little turbos were pretty though :D
I don't even think you could touch them from the topside.

There's just something I like working on honda's about. When I tried out Nissan (b13 SE-R to be exact)I just didn't like it at all. How things were setup, maybe I'm just so used to honda platforms but everything was just a pain in the ass to work on. I'm a "H"er foo life sucka! Hell I've seen those z32 engine bays and those are nightmares unless your arms are made of rubber and pencil thin. Best of luck with your choice.

pretty powerfull cars. Good that your going with the TT instead of the base v6. Its pointless to try to turbo the v6 models. My buddy raced a TT 300zx and that fucker was fast. Blew past buy us in 2 gear and he had one extra person in his car. There pretty heavy though. Good luck on upgrading a turbo though :-X

i dont understand that jimwolf tuned ecu, how does he tune it if its not actually your car, i wonder if they ahve something comparable to uberdata, like the tuning maps and what not.
