Default need some help and recommendations please 60-1 settup

heres a brief rundown on parts i have to rebuild and redo my motor again, or sell some parts and use the money and relative parts on my 92 awd laser rs

2 ls blocks
ls pauter rods
knifeedged ls crank
je 9:1 coated pistons 81.5"mm
2000 b16 head
2001 itr cams
stock b16 valvetrain
kooks turbo manifold
t4 turbonetics 60-1 bb
720 accel injectors
all necessary fuel lines
i had an aeromotive fuel system (a1000) but that was stolen by 2 members of this board
i had an aem but that too was stolen by the same 2 members of this board
tial 46mm wastegate with .9 bar spring
apex'i gtr intercooler
blitz dd blow-off valve
all necessary cooler piping
msd 6al
ls tranny with quaife lsd
dss stage 3 axles
skunk2 intake manifold
rc eng bored t-body
prodrive oil pump gear
mezziere water pump
z10 eng block girdle
fluidyne radiator

im sure i left out some minor things, but what do you guys think, should i pick up a new standalone and fuel system and get my block sleeved and put it together or do i sell off the parts and have one fast dsm?

the car ran hard when the car was first done but has been nothing but headaches and ripoffs by NUMEROUS shops and people.

im assuming i could hypothetically run the settup on the street, but what about 4-5 days use in an ek hatch? anyway, any help is greatly appreciated

what is ur question again? i dont understand what your asking.. from the list of parts you'vve got a serious race set up their though i didnt see anything about upgraded valve springs and retainers.

those are great parts, i would get the block sleeve and put them together.

that mentioned setup would be a great daily driver or race set up. get a good stand alone ECU like Electromotive TEC3 or DTA, those work well. then you can have setups for pump gas and race gas and have a killer 20psi daily driven car. you already have most of the parts, might as well...

its all up to u, which would u enjoy more?????? an integra with your built motor and a tec3 or dta would be a great daily driver. with that big turbo you would also have a great highway runner.

my problem is ive lost faith in the honda name although i love the power to weight ratio we have when our cars are highly boosted. 3 seperate shops who all post on here did me very very wrong, i'd love to put my motor back together, problem is who is going to do it, i really need someone in the industry to trust, the tri-state area, especially long island and queens is a shady place. anyone know a good reputable and honest shop around. i.e one that wont tune your car on the ragged edge to blow up just so they can do the rebuild again, one that wont deny me customer service and a good turnaround time, and to the last shop, ******* who dont steal your ems and fuel system and drop your car off in front of your house when they know you were away at school. sorry to vent, just tired of being abused financially by scammers and pretenders in this industry, my .02 cents. and to the shops who knoe me and touched my car **** YOU, i hope you go bankrupt

that's an awfully one-sided version of the story, but since you're not naming names, i'll leave it at that.

so the parts about them rebuilding your motor, and then you dissapearing when it was time to pay, and never returing phone calls, and letting your car sit there for weeks at the shop, all the work unpaid for...that's all untrue?

and yes they are my friends, and have not done one single thing wrong by me...have really helped me out a lot and even saved me from gettgin screwed a few times by other people.

but i will let them know "you are coming." heh
