im at a avg of that after my motor is done.

 

doing that whole conversion just to run an ls trans is a waste, a b16 or gsr trans would make a world of difference on that setup, ls transmissions suck

 

Really!? I'll see i don't know if I want to be on the freeway at about 80 mph and at roughly 5,000rpms...i want my build to last and be reliable...this is my daily driver..

 

alot of us have daily driven with a b16 trans, its not going to make it unreliable, just kills a little more gas, the response you're going to get from your set up vs. with an ls trans is definitely worth it, if youre really worried about gas mileage going b20vtec probably isnt the best way to go, you could always get a b16 trans with a ls 5th

 

No I'm not worried about gas mileage, I'll look into pricing on b16 tranny or GSR tranny and I'll see how much that will tag onto what i need to come up with..I am gonna guess maybe an extra $200-$300 +/-

 

300-400, it will be the best 300-400 you're going to spend on that setup

 

FTW!

 

I know it's not much, but you should've seen it before. Cluttered with wires. And the strut needs to be attached like that or else the hood would bow up because it's sitting on the strut. Trust me. I even made a custom bracket that slid into the slot above where it's bolted in to secure it down and it looked like crap closed.

 

What? lol

 

he was asking me if i wanted to go buy chicken at this place in our area called smoke eaters, which we refer to as clucks because it used to be called Cluck U

 

ahhhh 250 for some Hx's??? White?

 

wat would be better for ls vtec turbo b16 or gsr bottom is a b18b1 that has je pistons h beam rods arp head studs

 

go research in the forced induction section

 

cleaning up my drivers side splash shield, the one that's always is full of old power steering fluid, I looked everywhere for it, and it was under the back end of the car all this time, I need to form a fiberglass piece off of the front of it, once I do that, it attaches with riv nuts and machine screws and the underside of it gets cut out for access to the spin on power steering filter. few screws and the panel comes right off.

 

wanna make me some splash sheilds that my wheels wont rip out? lol

 

if you had a way to hold them exactly in position, they are easy to replicate out of fiberglass, the trick is genuine duct tape, fiberglass doesn't stick to it, duct tape everything, lay out the glass, soak it in resin, when it cures trim the edges and finish the surface, and cut any holes needed.

 

you, sir, just explained to me how i'm going to make my front lip.

 

yep,thats what i'm going to do, I made all the panels inside of my hatch area this way look at my site, www.losts86hatch.tripod.com and look under the video game project tab it was a few years ago, but it's the same idea

 

what should i use to make the basic shape to make a mold out of though? wood?

 

ok let me fix that http://losts86hatch.tripod.com/ it's the tab that says something about the video game project

 

yep wood, anything that will work,it's just a mold

 

i was just wondering what would be easier to shape compared to wood.

 

wood works pretty good, it's easy to use a sander to shape the corners, it's been used since fiberglass was invented to make molds

 

so a guy is coming to buy my engine.

 

ok. i'll just get a plank of some soft stuff then. i could prolly just use a 2x4 huh?

good looks!
