Knowing you've got almost 20k+ into a car your still paying off - priceless.

Actually all said and done the motor and turbo and engine build together came to $28,000 canadian ... and the turbo alone is $1300 ;) ...

And as for still paying off , the car is paid for and in storage stay tune for 1st place show winner next year !!! Wait for more body mods , more power and more stereo ;) those other accords wont have a chance, I'm sorry but BAGS are for WOMEN lol ....

28k canadian is around 24-25k...a given to reach that amount of hp on a 4 banger NA motor.

That seems a bit rediculous. I can pretty much garrentee that you could build a motor for a fraction of that. The only reason i would garrentee it is that i haven't done it. I do have friends with built 4g63s and various b series motors and it's not different enough to times the price by 4x or more. I'm still a bit suspicious of this car though.

$25k total engine build? At that price it better be prepped for full race or drag. Hell, it shouldnt even cost you more than $10k unless your counting in the price of the engine as well.
