I'm trying to build a street legal track car. I've looked into several plans/builds of it and i'll probably be doing the physical building in a year. But that should be the easy part. I'm going to make a CAD model of it and run stress analysis to make sure i get a stong and light structure.



I'll be sure to post all the good stuff once it gets going but i'm stuck already. I want a reliable, high revving, and potent engine. I don't mind slightly building the engine but i would like 200whp NA. I might slap on a turbo later so that's a possibility also. The engine MUST be FWD. This should simplify the build.

Wants:
High Revs
200whp NA
Fairly Compact
A lot of aftermarket support
Reliable
under $5k with transmission (preferably 6spd)

I don't mind it having no torque, that would be perfect.




The s2k engine sounds perfect for this, but I can't find too much info on how to connect the RSX engine to the engine. I thought about the k20 and it is one of my top choices right now. I just think it's kind of pricey.
Anyways, what do you think?
Can I also have a pull of what you are smoking?! Please? untill you build your cad model to the required specs for you to run any sort of decent test on it you will grow gray hair on your balls. Stop it with the theory, start building something.

What's wrong with using CAD? It really can save time and money.
