QFT carfreak. When I bought this shell and started this build I just graduated HS, was working a full time job while I took a semester off(which turned into a full year but whatever) and couldn't understand the whole I'm a broke student line. I deff see it now haha. I have to save weeks for a part instead of getting a few things every week or two. I'm still sticking to my original plans even tho its gonna take a little longer.

JdmBones I think u must not have read all the way thru lol. The original owner wanted to do a b series swap but was undecided. I'm doing a Z6 turbo build.

Rease3

nice project coming along quite well. what turbo setup are you going with/

boarding2008

A garrett t3/to4e. Forgot the trim size tho.

markspan6243

hey bud nice project. i live up in dayton, its nice to see someone else in ohio that works on cars.

alex_b

i dig it! GL with the build.

Rease3

post pics of said setup

boarding2008

Haven't bought the kit yet. I'm buying a real garrett turbo within a kit on ebay. Ill be switching out the wastegate and other things slowly with higher quality stuff over time. One of the first things will be the manifold. Ill post a link next time I'm on my desktop. I got cut on my cornea so I'm just resting it trying not to use my phone and not watching tv to much, which is difficult itself lol.

Rease3

the money ur gonna spend on a ebay kit u can piece a kit better and around the same price imo. buy once and wont have to replace again. cheap reliable fast choose 2

boarding2008

Here is a link to the kit I was considering. If u wouldn't mind helping me piece together one, I'm cool with you throwing me a PM or email.

CLEAN project man

Bump for you

Rease3

i would go with a custom kit for less than that. i personally like go-autoworks. i would pm him on what u want hp wise and what type of kit you want. manifold mostly. log,ramhorn,mini ram, or cast, or get the cast top mount.

goodluck

clean goodluck

Yeah I decided to piece one together. I found a mini-log manifold and a Garrett t3to4e 50 trim for a great price.

Rease3

def got lost for a moment forgot who the op was.

Rease3

best way to build piece it together will come out cheap if u look for the right deals

boarding2008

Lol. Yeah the op sold the car to me and I continued it. I didnt feel like saving the original pics then making a new thread and everything.

boarding2008

me and my friend (fv8s aka nick) put some things on the engine today and sprayed it so it would stop oxidizing from the bead blasting. i got the new oil pump, water pump, water pipe, thermostat, timing belt, tensionor, spring, timing set (still need to do the sequence to tighten it. sprayed the block an aluminum color so it still looks like the bare metal, then cleared it, sprayed the vtec selonoid with some black paint that was laying around, put my spark plugs in, oil filter sandwhich plate, oil filter on. i think thats it. i tried replacing the cap and rotor but snapped a bolt that holds the cap on and then the rotor screw wouldn't unscrew so i cleaned up and called it quits. now to pics in someone of an order.





(in case some one uses the search on here or just stumbles across this)the timing marks on the cam sprocket at 3 and 9 are NOT supposed to be level with the head on a 1.6. those are for the 1.5! the mark around seven points to the rear upper cover(which i almost lost) it looks like this

there are two arrows up top on the plastic that will point where the 3 and 9 line up(not pictured)

boarding2008

so i have gotten a good amount of stuff done to my engine. i sprayed the intake mani, cleaned up my altenator brackets, installed the altenator and belt, put the intake and exhaust manifold on, took apart my transmission, had my friend take it to school to clean it. i still have to buy the seals and then put it back together. i think thats it.

fv8s

i actually really like how the intake and exhaust manifold turned out. we will have the trans finished and rebuilt in no time. in the mean time try to figure out gear ratio/size in your Si trans compared to mine
