I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

a REAL engine builder (as you put it) knows that long stroke long rod motors ARE NOT ment to rev high, they are ment to make power in the low to mid range and not the top end.....
and our cars were MEANT to be econo-boxes. it doesnt mean they cant be made to do shit they werent meant to do.

very biased write up.....and a few flaws too. to say an ls/vtec does not make more torque than a b18c is rediculous.with an 89 mm stroke as aposed to the gsr 87.2mm stroke, how can you possibly say that the torque is not there? if it isnt there, someone is tuning your motors horibly. as far as not b...
