ok i was wondering if its possible to build a 4cyl motor like either a b16, 1.8ls v-tech or even a h22 with 500hp for $3000. is it possible??? just in the motor alone... not the car or the standalone.
it can be turbo, nitrous, supercharged or whatever.
input is welcome... i am just throwing this out there to see if its possible.

Possible. Sure. Especially if it wasn't expected to live very long.

sure it can be built for $3000. Get a HIGH mileage LS motor, 8.0:1 Arias pistons, crower rods, arp rod bolts and head bolts...piece together your own turbo. A T3/T4 COULD net you 500hp...or a GT35r can get you there also.
I think mos def it would have to be a turbo motor. I have a cousin with a turbo B20 (CRV motor). Pretty much same set up: 8.0:1 pistons, good rods, arp hardware, head work, some custom fab work manifold, exhaust cutout. It scoots with just a DSM 18G- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

It depends on how much you can get the motor itself for and how reliable of a setup you want. You could easily make 500hp for $3,000 in the motor but your definitely not going to have everything I would have in my 500hp motor.
