22 years old, nowhere near as robust as the JZ series, I've yet to see one that didn't need a complete rebuild (unless it just had one), cast internals, air flow isn't horrible, but not great, expensive parts, oiling issues.

Enough? I've got more.

EDIT: Sorry, 24 years old.


EDIT 2:
I wasn't being crass when asking about the "Juice Box" you mentioned... do you mean MegaSquirt or is something else using the JB name out there? The BMW one isn't even a full EMS, just a piggyback.

Also, I'm not saying that 900RWHP isn't doable, it is, but not for the price ticket you've got in mind... not by a long shot. You'll spend that much replacing the stock components if you actually want to see this build last.
