Oh come on guys, ya its a kia but I will finally be able to show my boss that I can more than just modifing honda ----. The 1.8l E1 makes 124whp/119tq, which is 3hp less than a d16z6, but has more torque. I think it will work out pretty well. A freindly compression ratio, closed deck cast block, huge *** rods, probably twice the size of a honda. The head flows really well. The main problem will be fighting the stock ecu.

are you getting paid for this (working on it on company time) or just have $2k to do this car for the dealership on your own time?

SMIC ?? WTF, did I hear you right. You can't run a SMIC on that thing.You need the Front mount so people will know what its packin. Call or Email and I will hook you up with a FMIC for a realy good deal. I can maybe throw in some piping also for a little free advertising when you get this thing done.

I have a regular customer that does Hyundi kits but I don't think I know anyone that has done a Kia yet.
