Default Need some engine suggestions

I'm trying to build a street legal track car. I've looked into several plans/builds of it and i'll probably be doing the physical building in a year. But that should be the easy part. I'm going to make a CAD model of it and run stress analysis to make sure i get a stong and light structure.



I'll be sure to post all the good stuff once it gets going but i'm stuck already. I want a reliable, high revving, and potent engine. I don't mind slightly building the engine but i would like 200whp NA. I might slap on a turbo later so that's a possibility also. The engine MUST be FWD. This should simplify the build.

Wants:
High Revs
200whp NA
Fairly Compact
A lot of aftermarket support
Reliable
under $5k with transmission (preferably 6spd)

I don't mind it having no torque, that would be perfect.




The s2k engine sounds perfect for this, but I can't find too much info on how to connect the RSX engine to the engine. I thought about the k20 and it is one of my top choices right now. I just think it's kind of pricey.
Anyways, what do you think?

I was thinking of doing the same exact thing. I have no welding experience other than what I know about the theory of it.

What about the K24? They might be a little easier to get that 200 HP out of.

k24a1 or k24a2. but, since you said you prefer it to have NO tq (which i dont know why), a k20 would be right for you.
