I'm sitting in Des Moines, Iowa and I'm getting really antsy for Spring time. . . my winter project is coming along swimmingly (ported head/sleeved block/internals/valvetrain/new fuel mgmt/nx direct port)

I am curious to hear about some of your projects. . . what does everyone have in store for Spring?

 

Just your basic turbo kit on a stock B18B block... Nothing spectacular but I CANT WAIT FOR SPRING!

 

My "winter project" started back in May and I havent driven my car since. It should be rather nasty when all is said and done

 

we got winter all year here man....

 

mines almost done...b21a1 block, 83mm bore, JE coated pistons, crower rods, knifed crank, countersunk oil journals, ported head, bigger valves, should be done by the middle of feb. also looking for Type R LSD diff.

 

i got my s200b for the winter (florida) and haven't been able to get that bitch started.. and i heard its going to get warm in a couple days...ahh ****.. i miss her..it finally gets cold and i can't even drive..

 

Actually, I'm driving my winter projects now.

It's good living in Miami

 

My winter project is comming along great.. I just finished building my motor and im redoing the wiring harnesses in the car now..

I just love sitting outside soldering wires with a 1 pc suit on in 20 degree temps..

I guess laying on a frozen yard is better then laying in the mud.. But im in the same boat, when the snow melts im gonna have fun with my car..

 

got my motor back from benson's , it's at the machine shop now getting assembled.

hopefully i wil have her running again within a month.

platinum.

 

AHHHHHH! I feel all you guy's pain!!! I haven't driven my car for 3 months. I took it apart to build the motor b/c 8 psi wasn't enough. . . I'd settle for 8 right now, lol!

It makes me feel good to see all of you in the same boat - just think, when all the snow melts and the engine is back together and tuned. . . it's time to represent - in a much bigger way!

I will post links to my setup when the car finally emerges from the garage after it's 6 month vacation.

Ran a best 12.812 last year spiking 8 lbs - hoping that 30 PSI and a slew of other things will allow me to take things to the next level.

Went with 60-1 on a benson sleeved stock bore b18b1, and p200 for fuel mgmt, rc 880's. . . a big upgrade from the entry level turbo I put together last year.

I'm stoked!!! Good to hear from all of you, gets me even more pumped!

 

Getting my motor rebuilt, PRI + Holidays is stopping the machine shop from a timely return of the motor

 

i just bought my ls block and Gsr head, now gotta get some cash together to get it sleeved and get building for 500hp......lol

That was my plan. . . spending all my $$ on suspension now. . . realizing that with 500+ I will be standing still unless I do something drastic.

I'm just happy the holidays are over and I can start spending my money on the person I like most again. . . me, lol.

I just bought my first house at the beginning of winter, so that has been sucking up a good deal of my expendable cash too - well that and my girlfriend. But it's time for greed and selfishness until the blue beast runs again.

We have some pretty large get togethers out here - I'll post info if something goes down worth showing up to. Let me know if any of you Mid-West guys have anything big going down - I'd love an excuse to meet some of you and talk about cars for a weekend.

 

My project is on pause until I sell the car in my sig. *hint hint*

 

My winter project started the summer before last, at the begining of June. Car's been sitting ever since. But it does have a new built motor in it with a turbo strapped to the front of it. Too bad Wiring &gt; Me.

Hopefully soon I can figure it out.

My winter project sucks and now has become my spring/summer project. Need to save up for a standalone fuel system for my rx7. Oh well. Been looking forward to doing it for like 2 years, I can wait a couple more months.

 

Ohhhh, RWD, and turbo - fun!

I have never driven a fast RWD - I probably will avoid it b/c I don't want to fall out of love with my car. . . too much time/$$$ invested.

Standalone as in an AEM EMS..

 

Mine is basically what kowalski is doing also.

Just a basic setup on a stock b18b. Will be my first setup, and I can't wait to feel boosted. I'm itching. Hopefully I will have it all together by the summer.

 

Basic Setup on a b16a in a 99si.

Bailhatch Manifold, Tial 38mm Wastegate, SFP Intercooler piping, Drag3 Intercooler, Custom dumptube, Custom 3" Open Downpipe. Dsm450's, Chipped p28 running Uberdata. T3/T04E 57 Trim, .63A/R Stage 3 wheel. Blitz DD BOV.

This is my first setup so i'm just happy to be boosted. I'm going to run Uberdata until I can get an Autronic PnP. By the end of the year the block will be built, sleeves, rods, pistons, headwork, etc. Shooting for 300whp on a stock block for now.

 

um...ive been working on my winter project for 2 years now . im happy to say its almost done though fully built 98 B18C5 , turbonetics BB T68 , FAST system . theres a shitload more but i dont feel like typin a list . good luck to everybody this up coming year

 

Mine is going ok. Going to get it moving a little faster after New Years. I have togo through all the wiring in my chassis this Sunday
