Engine Build-Up
I have been working on all the match involved with an engine-rebuild and it appears the following is possible:
3.7L motor capable of holding about 800hp
Ross Pistons
Pauter Rods
Forged crank
New Sleeves with a closed-deck configuration
I am looking into pricing and assembly costs etc.
What do ya'll think of a 3.7L turbo

with 800hp you are gonna need serious drivetrain modifications to put it to the ground.
I mean you already have serious issues with 500hp...
It's gonna be cool though.

I won't convert it to an auto! Plus, I won't use slicks either.... so on stock tires even 800hp is fine to drive around.
Most likely it will be about 600hp on pump gas and upto 800-1000hp on race-gas. I think my turbo will crap out at around 700'ish hp.
It's all just an idea... I'll have to wait and see on feasibility, but I think it can be done.
TypeR... get ready to ship that block out!

Oh my... 
In any case, it will have new sleeves, new crank, new rods and new pistons.

DO you plan on putting in a roll cage? I'm pretty sure the times you'd be able to pull, most tracks would kick you out without one, assuming you can put down all that power.
PLus I wouldn't trust me not to kill myself with all that power.

800-1000 maybe a little wishful thinking, but who knows till the product is done. the head gaskets will have a little problem with that much boost to acheive that much hp, although it can be done once or twice. I'm looking for around 600-650 crank hp when i'm finished, my turbo and IC is good to 700.
anyone on this board have an extra pair of valve covers laying around for the j series? pm me if so.

Yes on monsterous slicks, with a chasis that weighs about 1500lbs with the driver. Not the case with a CL-S.

someone is going to say slicks. But they have obvisoly never driven a car /w cheater or real slicks. you go no-where when it's wet. And you pickup every rock ont he road and throw it at your wheel well... Slicks on a CLS=ghetto anyway... (with the wheels sticking out of the wheel wells)
Props to the 800hp...
someone make a CRV-4 mod to convert these high HP cars to 4wd...
Allmotor, turing a near luxury car into a 7 second beast would make it a POS. Might as well use a different car.
