lookin good for my presentation at school woooo got a 17/20 on my senior project pressentation two months ago

and got a workin progress project car for 1300 bucks not counting the cost of the drags

bought a GSR head about a week ago and gonna do an LS vtec on the lil 4door got some 81.25 ctr style dome pistons but kinda wonderin if they gonna hit with the gsr head and the ls blocks stroke??????? but for now im just gona do the ls vtec without droppin in the pistons

 

midnightef-4: love the work. car looks good. any suspension plans?

sc34dc4: sucks to hear man! my turbo was in LA i live in SJ 5 hours different. took almost 2 weeks to get here. somehow it went to frisco before it came to me.

b16b coupe: loving to pix man keep em coming! is the car complete or is there still work to come?

as for me. looking to pick up a half size today so i can really start mocking everything up. then with my next check i should be able to buy the rest of the stuff i need to finish the turbo setup

 

Built 2.0 lsvtec, sleeved, built head,victor x, big turbo...blah blah

I didnt have my catch can in for this pic but you get the idea lol

 

hey bro quick question. how did you run your intercooler piping on the driver side?

 

During

now

 

nice! any mods or future plans?

 

MOD list added

 

[QUOTE=91sedan_kid;43172389]midnightef-4: love the work. car looks good. any suspension plans?



at the moment im planning on getting the GSR head on there but yeah ofcourse lol im planning on getting some tokiko blue coil overs and springs nothing to special but what evas i aint gonna be runin circuit just the 1/4 strip, and ocasional back road grudge match hehehe

but before that im gonna send the head off to get a mild head work get some stage 2 pro 2 cams from skunk2 and dual valve springs and retainers and the three angle valve job, lol i wanna rev up to 10,000 RPM and still make power all the way through

but like i said i got some 81.25 ctr style dome pistons for the block and ofcourse get some ARP rod bolts so i could push the engine to the fullest and they wont break on me, but im not sure i think i might just get some 82mm ITR dome pistons for the block


my goal is to put down 220 WHP and im gonna get there some way or another haha i dont care about looks im more of the power hungry type of dude after im pushing the power i want down then ill worry about the suspension and all the cosmetics

 

nice list of mods.

midnightef-4: i know what you mean. i like a little of both!

 

I have a full-race backdoor intercooler...best investment i ever made...before i had that on old turbo setup it sucked...ran around up threw by window wash fluid then had a big u bend and went to turbo...kinda hard to explain...i dont seem to have any pics sorry

 

You do realize 220whp out of a naturally aspirated B series is going to be really expensive. You'd make more power on stock motor with boost and price wise it'd be close. My friend spent 4,600 on his and made 210whp.
Forged rods and forged high compression pistons. Head fully built ect ect. It's an expensive road to make power N/A.

 

220hp N/A is completely different from 220hp boost. either way which ever pass you choose, keep us updated!

some pic of what i got today..

half size radiator.



old full size.



new installed

 

with all that mess under the hood, i almost didnt see the engine! LOL.

i think imma do shave bay =X

 

it does look like a small city in that bay but shaved bays are to personal prefrence...to much to maintain ...now a clean unshaved bay is whats up...

 

clean unshaved?!

 

Yes I know the difference between n/a and forced induction power.
What I'm trying to say is it's not worth it.

A built all motor 12.1 comp. built head with springs,retainers,cams and revs to 10 grand. It makes 220whp and hardly any torque plus cost around 4-5K

A stock gsr running a t3/t4 .57 trim turbo on 12psi makes around 330whp and torque plus only cost around 3-4k

In the end you have 100+ more hp and torque plus anywhere up to a grand left in your pocket.

To each his own really but after seeing first hand how much Jordan spent on his motor and what the dyno results where in the end. It just isn't worth it.

 

stock lsvtec turbo in my sedan and maybe semi built b20vtec in my daily sedan. when im done with what im doing..i'll see what my pocket can get me and what deals are floating around in the market..

 

Oh yeah my nuts are blue...

 

N/A drives so much better <3 so much more hardcore!

 

haha that's awesome.. VROEMM VROEMM.. oh yeah? hmm RTOOTOTOTOTOTOTTTOOOOTT!!!!

 

Sc34dc4: I've done the math when I wanted to build my motor and it was already pricey for the head. My turbo setup is cheaper than my built setup I had planned. Buy yea to each his own. Also the nuts match really well!

My_efsedan/qwk_db8: I know I need a wire tuck but haven't figured how i want to run the wires yet. Now that my ac is gone I can really get down on the tuck. well see it's a plan I have for the car.

 

Bump for guys that stick with it. Ive never stuck with one car, why? TOO ****ING EXPENSIVE.

 

yeah thanks for your point of view buddy but well see what happens im still going with my 82mm lsvtec build, ill post up my dyno graph once im done so you guys can check it out

 

Looking forward to it!

 

I'm really diggin' this thread. I've got a 1990 DA9 GS that I'm building right now. Got it bone stock with over 300k on the clock. Its receiving a B18C1 swap, PeakBoost kit with 3076R, Neptune P72, and a few other goodies. I'll def post pics of the progress as I get em'.

Nice cars guys! Its amazing what alittle TLC can do.
