so in summary dont go out and buy a B17, its not worth it, but if it lands in your lap cool.
also: a T25 is too small for anything but a ATV or something. its too small for the DSM they came off of and every other car above 1.3L....

They make tons of parts for the B17, inlinefour.com has everything for those that it does for all other B motors. I think it would be cool to turbo such a rare motor, and as I showed you, there definitely are parts for it.
low 14's aint that fast...may cars are sold off the showroom floor that can do that....

Low 14's on a DX Motor in a 2500lb Civic with heavy *** Chrome 17's, full interior and beat is plenty fast homie... that's with a $400 turbo kit and half-descent tuning... Show me a car that runs low 14's that cost under $28,000 off the "showroom floor" speedy

And I don't live up north somewhere where its nice cold *** dense air and everybody runs 14.9s and down... I run at FONTANA Speedway and anybody who has ever been there will tell you they get the shittiest times because of the fucked up track, high elevation and hot temps... I gaurantee that Transam wouldn't run a 12.9 here... and definately not on street tires... I watch them all day...

You will most likely not pay 25k for a car now and beat me in it's stock condition...
