Default ***Wade's next project: 96' Civic, GT42 powered, JJ Callos front end coupe***

Welp, starting from scratch here guys. As funds are hard to come by. I need another project after being out of the scene lately. I got this car for 600 dollars with a blown SOHC. It will get body work once it runs and be painted satin black with Flystars all the way around.

Here is what the car will have once completed:
84mm Darton Sleeved GSR block
9.1:1 CP Pistons, Manley Rods.
Entire bottom end balanced.
B16a head, ported, polished, ITR cams, supertech valve train, oversized SS valves.
Victor X intake manifold
GSR tranny, Spool Differential
Omni Drag suspension
Exedy Twin Disk
GT42 Turbo
(2) TiAL 44mm gates.
Circuit Worx Axles/hubs
WadeFab topmount manifold, and 4 inch DP w/ 4inch Aluminum exhaust, 3" charge piping all made by myself.
Garrett 20x3.5x11 intercooler core, back door entry/outlet.
sumped tank, aeromotive fuel system.
Autronic SMC EMS, 1600cc injectors. Coil on Plug, distributor less setup.
10pt cage w/chute mount/window net.

Aiming for 800hp and some 9 sec passes after some work

For Street driven days I will run a 0-offset sportmax front 15" wheels with 26.2" tall DR's. They fit perfectly flush with the widened fiberglass fenders.

Here begin the pics of the sloooow build...Sorry for how rough it looks, but give it some time.












More pics further down on page

New pics as of Feb 03 09

Dont mind the wire mess, itll be fixxed as well as a massive cleanup.
Endtank construction started today. Wastegates arrive this week. Almost there. Hope it holds up.























Again, I am no photo guy, sorry. Again, don't worry about the clutterness and wires.

Here it is so far.... just need to get the wastegates mounted to manifold, clean up wiring, do a few odds and end, and itll be ready to run on 14psi until I get my NLR boost controller. Hopefully it'll hold for a while. Gotta get it insured/licensed soon (more money out my butt for insurance)

Update:


Got an autronic SMC wire in unit, with MSD DIS-4 box, with a COIL ON PLUG ignition setup.
Exedy Twin disk clutch
Omni DRAG suspension
STR scatter shield
New GSR tranny with SPOOL differential
Circuit WORX 900HP axles, spool, larger hubs, and brakes.
B16 head, milled, ported-polished, 5 angle valve job, feria OS SS valves, supertech dual valve springs and titanium retainers.
Edlebock Victor-X intake manifold.
Hoosier 26.5x9x15" QuickTIme Pro drag radials. (for when i street it.)


Need to get/fabricate still:
10pt cage, chute, turbo IC piping, manifold, IC entanks, wastegates, gt42, buy Manley rods/pistons, assemble engine, build/buy fuel system and itll be damn near ready

nothing new has changed on the chassis though until the suspension is installed and drag wheels come in. so no need for pics yet

Being laid off, work is slow on the car. Once I get the solid mounts ordered, it goes in with a oem header for now and stock fuel system just to see if she runs and stuff.

Working on the wire harness a little, got a while to go.

here is what I got complete today...





Once the harness is finished, it will be all loomed up and pretty!

Update: Got the car wired. Turns/Cranks over. All lights and gauges are fully wired and in working order. Just waiting on the fuel system to arrive, get it fitted/installed and then get it stated n/a to see how she drives and runs. Then on to the turbo kit fab!
