Good plan. Build something you can get your money back out of one day.

93egSLEEPER

^^^thats the goal. If/when I find a roller chassis I want I may sell this car to put money towards it. It wont be anytime soon, but I don't want 15k invested in a car I will only be able to sell for 6-7k. Right now I can just about break even.

blackeg

**** then fml my hope is out the window thats about exactly where i stand....

what chassis are you going to try and find for that big block?

93egSLEEPER

Haha my old car was that way, but got stolen. I had 12-15k in it easy over the 5-6 years I had it and all the different motors and setup I ran through. This car gets the B20V and that's where i'm staying lol.

I'd like to find a small body car if possible, but they are hard to find and usually more expensive.

Chevy II
Vega
70-72 split bumper camaro
66 or 70-72 chevelle
Mid-late 70's malibu has been a thought too

I have found some decent vegas for good deals...I just am not too sure about the short wheel base. That are a handful on the big end.

My dads buddy offered me his chevy luv w/ a 488 olds that runs 9.75-10 to race for him (he can't get a 9 sec license due to medical issues) but I hate racing someones build, especially if it breaks. I really wanna drive his buddies blown alcohol hemi 56 chevy pro mod that runs 6.50's haha

MainManKeegan

Need the worlds lightest bubble vx cut the fck up lol!

93egSLEEPER

LOL to run what time? 10's? I don;t think I will ever be into that w/ a NA B...like I said...all a dream haha.

I think I could get a 12 flat out of this setup with some more work, and getting more and more seat time. Nothing major. Again, 12.5 has been my goal since I got the car and started the build so anything faster than that I see as a bonus.

The last time the car was out it was running 12.8's @ 105-106 consistently w/ 1.7 60's. At that time the car was running rich and not ato its full potential. If I had to put a number on it I'd say it was running about 85% with AFRs in the high 10's and low 11's

I love the internetz

I wouldn't doubt it tho NY is crazy lol. And K swaps are a dime a dozen out here.....I just crossed over to the darkside lol

AllMtrRex

There have been a few guys running very low 11's and even high 10's with your power. But like he said, the car has to be 17xx pounds with driver, aka cut to the gills!

93egSLEEPER

I'll continue to say it, 12.50 is my overall goal. IF I can go faster great. Crack 11's...ecstatic. I don't want to hack the car as it is still a comfortable reliable street car should I want to sell it.

bauergold

I vote for a 100 shot! Car would be an easy 11 second car with that. Maybe even crack into the 10s depending on the weight.

TracerAcer2.2L

This page is funny lol

93egSLEEPER

I'm sure with a 100 shot I could drop well into the 11's...but then I'm in a whole new world of potential issues. If there were more index races out here I would try to make it a competitive 11.50 index car, but there isn't The import scene, frankly, sucks out here. Really all we have is Tests and Tune and IFO once a year unless I were to travel to IFO woodburn in Oregon, then all the way down to CA for events (which is not in the budget or plans)

So at this point, the car is a Test N Tune runner and whatever other "honda days" we have on very rare occasion. That is one of the main reasons I want to get into a domestic, there are weekly races for them.

93egSLEEPER

To port, or not to port. That is my current dilemma.

I can get a hand port job done by a local shop my buddy works for at a VERY deep discount (the guy will do it off the clock) which he will put up against a "generic" CNC port any day of the week. The guy builds circle track (4-8 cylinder) and domestic drag motors and has been voted "Best in WA-port work" time and time again. My buddy currently is running his port job on his 1100+whp k24 turbo and it looks great. He used to do work for speedfactory I was told before they were sponsored.

I may throw a set of ferrea flat faced valves in a bump the compression a touch for good measure, just trying to see if I can justify the money/work it will take. I'm hoping to break the 250whp mark on the dyno dynamics.

The setup would remain the same, just have a hand ported head and the compression would jump .3 points (should put me right around 13:1) If I can find a deal on pro 3's I might even consider throwing the intake cam in and running the 2/3 combo.

scottcraft

If at a later point you would be able to get a cnc port job like 4piston on your head still if you want more and you're confident the guy won't make your head worse and the price is good I say go for it.

TracerAcer2.2L

For a steep discount on known good work, do it

93egSLEEPER

If I ever want to do a 4P head or something of that nature I'll probably just buy one directly from them, I doubt I'll ever get to that point with this build though lol. My goal is to build a back half pro street domestic as soon as I get the funds and resources.

TracerAcer2.2L

Since when is turbohatch banned lol

What's a "back half" pro street domestic?

Bently_Coop

93eg- who does the porting locally? DG Machine?

93egSLEEPER

Tube chassis front w/ stock chassis firewall back. Ideally a 66-72 chevelle

Google image "pro street chevelle" and you'll get the idea

Johnsons Machine in Lacey. I have heard MANY different stories about the guy who does their port work. Mainly he bounced around a couple shops and landed at Johnson's. I was told he did port work at DG awhile ago but didn't like working for Dale, then went to heads up, and now Johnson's. Rich @ Rich tuned ran his head on his SFWD build years back and made good power, a couple other local guys I know have vouched for him as well. I don;t know if the speedfactory claims are true or not, but they did used to run all their work through DG. I personally won't do business with DG, bad experience and he screwed my old man over.

bauergold

It's the other way around.
That's why they call it a back half because the back half is tubed.

That'd be a fun car, hope you do it.

93egSLEEPER

LOL...wow. My brain was off. It would be a tube front and stock chassis back most likely. 9" ford, 4 link rear end though.

It's in my list of things to do, just need to find a donor chassis to work with. If I find the right one I'll sell the honda to give the project a kick start

TracerAcer2.2L

Will that really pass inspection for a "street" car or is it just called that?

Bently_Coop

Washington doesn't do inspections, only emissions testing.
