RE: price... okay na yung 57,000 kung 20v yan at may warranty. Especially since it's closer. Most of the small, niggles with engine-swaps (mostly electrical) show up in the first few months, anyway.

RE: Takumi's engine... race-built 4AGE... parang yung legendary Formula Atlantic motor. Mahal nga lang ang motor... costs as much as a car! But some people rebuild plain old 4AGEs with Atlantic parts.

RE: Silver/Black-Top. The Black top makes a little more power, but it's not that big a difference, personally, for the price. The black cover is more impressive, though, if people know what it is.

Against the SR16VE, hard to say. Wala masyadong naka SR16 sa atin, as it's so rare. The regular SR16VE is just about a match for this motor, but the SR16VE N1 is a lot more powerful... and even rarer.

Kaya lang, sobrang high strung na yung N1. I prefer the SR20VE, which has more useable midrange torque, and nearly as much top-end power... or the SR20DET. (Super-Off-Topic).
