I got into Honda's in 99 and had a pretty mild car for two years. Did a sohc vtec swap in my CRX...then put some juice on it (75 shot). Car ran well but I wanted more...and I wanted the speed all the time. So I tore out my motor and I built the D. I got 152whp or so out of it and it was great right. Well I have some friends and the one guy has like 430whp in his fwd DSM. I mean his car hauls ass right so I start thinking about going turbo. Then I get caught up and build an Ls/vtec...all motor again..its fast and my friends are impressed...I am still thinking about turbo. Well the LS ended up bending a rod right under the pin, so I make it B20vtec....N/A again...start thinkin about turbo. Well then a few deals went by and I decided to put the b20 in a hatch I had...sold it and built an H22 hatch mild (didn't have much loot). So I sell it and I am thinking turbo for sure...my lust for the Kseries starts here. So I am thinking turbo the Kseries for damn sure! Then I start to see all this all motor potential and now I'm fu**ed again! I am never going to own a freaking 350+hp freakin Honda in my damn life because I am stupid over all motor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For all the money I am spending making my CRX with a K20a happen I could have a 600hp bseries in this thing....what the hell is wrong with me. Is this happening to anyone else? I feel like my life in Honda's is being held back because of my sickness for all motor. I absolutely love the simplicity and the sound...the natural beast. No opportunity for someone I spank on to say "well yeah you won...your turbo'd...or yeah you won..why dont' you run me off the juice". For real...should I force myself to put an end to this...has this happened to anyone else? I mean some of you who have been in this for a while and have had several different setups...did you go big on a motor or stick with all motor?

Stick all motor...Its an addiction. That instant throttle response from the open header and lightweight flywheel.. The rpms screaming to 9500 rpm. The sound of a 7000 rpm launch on open header brotha their aint nothin better...The load sound of the raw Vtec activation while the cams scream loud enough to blow your ear drums. Oh well sold that car now doin something new. I raced and beat a 10 second Turbo integra In my built B20VTEC Crx. was not impressed..The catch is I made him run street tire to street tire and well putting 625 hp to the ground on street tires aint easy..But a freeway race I would have been killed...Allmotor is just straight up fun for the street and track. Stay all motor Ive ran slicked out turbo cars and still one. I have nothing against turbo cars just see the amount of money put into them and then come around with a car worth about 6000 including price paid for the car and still winning. I admit at the track with that integra on slicks I would have been dead...But you cant drive on slicks everywhere.. or can you??????????? Just my bored two cents... :D Give in to the allmotor curse....
