read forums, look at articles, read a couple key books or web pages, etc. Doesnt take long to learn everything, just a couple years maybe, which isnt much given the pure volume of information

 

lol!!!!! JK! I get it.

 

Absolutely... The internet is the single greatest recourse for information on the planet but you just have to be careful of what you read and take as truth.

I think the biggest problem is that people look at a motor and think it is impossibly complex and a total mystery. Start slow, and read good resources and always look at it with an open mind. I know I don't know a fraction of what many people know. What I know has been gathered over years of ripping down and rebuilding dirtbikes and reading everything I can get my dirty little fingers on. Dirtbikes are cheap, simple, and basically have all the same components as any car engine. If necessity is the mother of invention then dirtbikes = mommie.

 

<< snow day working from home

 

im not sure if its changed but the highest powered lsj puts out more than the highest powered lnf. their injectors hold them back but alot of people are in the process of solving this (secondary injectors) once thats figured out im pretty sure the lnf will match or beat the lsj output

noth are great motors those

 

But the LSJs you are speaking of are turbo swapped, running E85, or race fuel and methanol/water injection. Plus they swapped injectors. The power they make is super high in the RPM range.

 

yes and all the lnfs making big numbers are also turbo swapped

both with a turbo swap(including all necassary supporting mods) and no internal work whatsoever can support past 400 hp and have very similar curves
both have forged internals cept for pistons lsj-port injected lnf direct, lsj compression 9.5-1 lnf 9-1 (may be remembering these numbers wrong) both DOHC lnf has VVT
the differences arent huge but stock for stock theyre pretty comparible with the lnf being slightly better

 

point being
my bank account = $
cost of gaining such power = $$$
justifying spending that much money on this car.....?

 

set aside a certain amount each pay check to go towards your car
might take a while to go fast but oh well at least you wont leave yourself broke like most do

 

Yep the advantage the LSJ has are the magical swapping injectors.

 

yupp but once thats resolved for you guys i expect to see some big power lnfs coming out

 

$300 every two weeks.. isnt enough for me to save for camera, car, food, & clothes
i told mike $1,000 is all i will ever spend on this car.. maybe a bit more.. but thats it

 

you live at home so food shouldnt be on that list. i used to only get clothes for my bday and xmas haha cause i was too cheap to buy my own

600 a month isnt much but youre only 18 so you cant expect to make too much
1000 hmmm time to start buying all used stuff

 

i just put all my car mods on my credit card and then pay it off $300-400 a month plus i get points to buy shell gas cards with haha

 

Debit Card>Credit Card haha
I hate credit cards. Its borrowed money.
Which at the moment, your credit line is not what you have in your pockets. lol

 

It is a good first step to building credit tho. And some people actually do that. Put a purchase on credit card and pay it off in a good amount of chunk payments. I did that with a couple of things on my car to start building credit

 

Same here put as much as I can on the credit card and pay it off every month

 

Just use your credit card for gas, I think almost anyone could pay that off every month lol.

 

i used to have credit cards, now if i dont have the $ it means i just cant buy it >_<

 

I need to reorganize my life by this simple piece of wisdom

 

sell me ur coilovers

 

yo no intiende americano
