I'm still considering going back to a Honda platform running a modified D16Z6 engine with ultra lean burn capability.
The next one I would like to build would have around 14:1 compression with a turbocharger. It would run pump premium on the street with very low boost and a H2O/meth kit or I'm even considering a boost referenced propane enrichment kit.
Then for the track I would run e98 ethanol.
I'm still looking for a 1st generation Honda Insight that has a bad engine and battery to install this engine package into.
