    Yeah, I am reading they came as either UHF or VHF. 45 watt I think. Doesn't look like they are available new any more.

    You are using 4 VHF ones?

    Yea the VHF ones. Technically they aren't even supposed to operate at the APRS freq. you have to hack them with a computer. Not hard though. Just a simple trick.

    Need a computer to use them anyways as you preprogram the channels in it to certain freq.

    Sure. Motor for that.

    Then need a r154 bellhousing to mate to my tranny

    custom drive shafts

    custom motor mounts

    custom wiring harness

    makes it about 4400 right there.

    AND thats assuming you get a good motor that needs no mods.

    Then you have to do custom intercooler stuff too.

    Last time i did it it was about a 5-6k deal. But worth it. that included a USDM twin turbo swap as they are better then the JDM ones.

    Still an investment.

    An inch or what? If it's just an inch i would probably do it personally. Just have to rework the bumpers to look proper

    Think 1-2''. Its the steering and exhaust headers that make things a bitch. Sometimes the coil tower too.

    I just don't want to do that.

    I think it would be a good fit. High revs and loud screaming turbo sounds. Already like that minus turbo...and power :anonymous: haha

    yea im pretty disappointed in the whole blower ordeal. Kinda regret doing it in more then one way. Not even sure I wanna try swapping it to Igor.

    Don't really know another credible source to ask so I guess I'll ask here lol So my strut is blown and since money is really tight right now I guess I gotta go 5100s... Was wondering if the eibachs or OME 881s are better? Any help is greatly appreciated
