High compression, non-cooled boost, I would think making that happen would steer the car away from streetability with the tuning, suspension and fuel you'd need to use.
I don't think it would be possible to run 11s w/our tall 4th gear.

If you have a mechanic/shop that you trust there is no reason this couldn't be done. (and the $$$)

Does anyone know if Rick Case Acura still offers this upgrade? I mean, someone there must know how to do the swap. They were offered with a warranty..

Anyone know what happened to Doug? Since someone has to work on it if anything goes wrong, you'd think that someone there would be able to perform the upgrade?
