not sure if this will get locked (if so please let me know or mve it to 92+ civics), but I wanted to show you guys what i'm doing this winter. if it wasnt for all you on honda-tech, i would probably have never turboed my car in the first place, and then ripped out that perfectly good set-up for a more powerful one So thanks to all you out there. And a big thanks to friends for helping me out / doing evertything , espacially Mike and Fu (pics below).
Got the name snowball, cause we are painting it white and its SO f'n cold out and did you every here of the "Snowball Effect". Starts out with something small and easy - well so did this

here is the low down on the car.
95 dx coupe
built d16z6 on its way
t3/to4e 60 trim
720cc injecotors
Uberdata (need to get new version and 3bar)
techedge wideband for tuning
custom 3in downpipe and exhaust - exhaust cutout will exit one side of bumper and the dumptube on the other side
8pt rollbar
traction bars, etc.
repainting everthing championship white
looking for high 10's -11's
gonna be a drag car, but used to scare people on the street

What it began as - late last spring

eewww


As of a 1.5 months ago -


turbo b18b - ran mid 12's


friends who do all the work


t3/t04e dwarfing the kitten


before the painting began


Inside all gutted. everything is taped and ready to spray


Two coats of base on the base - gonna clear it today


Dad is bringing up the rollbar today, should get it welded in this week and do the inside next weekend. I am shaving the moldings on the side and painting the mirrors, handles, etc. Gonna put some pearl on the exterior and do some subtle ghost flames on the front/sides to make it look nice and pretty. i wont finish the exterior until spring when it warms up a bit.
Comments, questions, and advise are welcome!
Thanks everyone for all the help!!! I couldnt do this without you guys. and look for more posts, i'll be putting up pics here as i get more accomplished.

i wouldn't be suprized if they lock your thread, they locked mine just because it was just another sohc turbo project.

good luck with the project, gotta love this shitty ohio weather.

whats the specs on the d16z6?

 

nice ride bmcc72!

its a JG long block, rods, pistons, blockgaurd, crower turbo cam, p&p, 3 angle, oversized valves, cam gear, this and that.
im looking to get about 400whp. whatever it takes to atleast hit low-mid 11's.

and mods - if you lock it, please move it so i dont have to add all the pics, etc, when i go to repost. thanks!

 

Cant wait to see how it turns out. Good luck, SOHC powa

 

looks nice, leave the moldings.

 

thanks for the props. i have always hated the moldings, matched them on my old teal car and looked a million times better. but i got the time so they are GONE!
