Im checking back in...been out of it for a while . Last car I had was a 92 eg cx that had a b18b1 swap, si transmission , 450cc injectors, chipped p75 on 10psi. Was a fun car but eventually sold it to a friend of mine. I just recently picked up a 93 hatch shell from my brother. It needs a heater core and the dash put back in and interior pieces found and put back in. Has no motor, trans, mounts, engine harness etc so all of this has to be gotten. It needs a lot of work but ive got a good jump on it so far. Ive already got a d16z6 block that ive already got srp pistons, eagle rods, golden eagle head studs, cometic hg, act clutch already. A friend had all this in his garage and hadn't decided want he wanted to do so I bought it all from him. Next im ordering new acl race bearings, new rings, new oil pump, new timing belt and water pump set, and a gasket set. Debating on replacing the valve stem seals, and the springs and retainers in the head for brian crower while im at it. Going to be doing a 57 trim turbo on this as well before it hits the road just gotta decide how im going to run the setup and what injectors, FMIC, etc. Its a start I guess but its nice to have another hatch and cant wait to finish it.
Wow I can't believe someone finally posted here lol. Nice to see some better weather coming back for a change. I got spring fever now and ready to turn some wrenches.
lol yea im glad the weather is starting to change for the better. I worked on the car a little this weekend putting a new heater core in it. Running wire harness back through the firewall on the passenger side, and putting the blower motor and such back in so I could reinstall the dash. Still a long ways to go with it but its moving atleast.
Maybe I can get something/anything done if I can get rid of a headache I've had for nearly a week! The changing of seasons along with the barometric pressure doing a roller coaster ride from day to day is annoying but what do you expect from stupid Alabama weather?!
Update on the car as ive been busy and such so ive been going slowly at it and hardly working on it right now.
as stated Ive already got a d16z6 block that ive already got srp pistons , eagle rods, golden eagle head studs, cometic hg, act clutch already. Block has been notched for rods, head and block going to machine shop next week to be finished, new oil pump, new timing set, new water pump, complete gasket set, ex transmission, new radiator, new rod and main bearings, complete full exhaust ::new:: , and a few other odds and ends.
ok another update on my 93 hatch with the d16z6 im building.
build is as follows at the moment...d16z6 bored to 75.25, srp 9.5:1 PM6 pistons ::comes out to 10.6:1 CR::, eagle rods, block notched for rods, block decked .010, milled .010, new stock valves, comp cams 012-16 valve springs, brian crower chromoly steel retainers, eagle head studs, 4 puck act clutch and pressure plate....and of course all new gaskets and bearings throughout....
Picture of the hatch I am working on....Put the rotas on to see where the wheels would set since it has a 30mm offset and a 225/45 on them right now...ill probably go to a 205/50 soon
update on the car...As of Saturday it is running and no issues at all other than losing the stupid linkage pin and having to get another. Hoping Friday when im off work I can put it in and actually having time to drive it around for a bit and get to enjoy it.
