hahaha thanks gsilnc, im going to start putting some more money into it, redo the paint and parts of the body, then onto the b20 vtec

 

man my peak boost mani is cracked, AGAIN! good thing it has a lifetime warranty, so my car will be down again until it comes in.

also, I want to build the bottom end in my jdm gsr, what all will I need for the block? what do you guys think I should go with pistons/rods wise?

 

Dang that stinks Ive had my neukin ramhorn forever and bought it used never had an issue...

I would go with either cp/je/wesico along those lines and some eagle rods...thats just a quick idea..your power goals would be a good help

If anyone is interested I have 3 Je 84mm pistons I have the 4th but it has detnation marks on it..im selling for $150 for 3..and you could buy the 4th and have a set of je's for a good price...pm me if interested

 

I was thinking wiseco, thats what I had in my ls-vtec, with eagle rods. I know I would need piston rings, anything else? how much is it to sleeve a block?

 

Well since you making like 300 now I'd assume you want to make about 500 or so....
Send the block out somewhere like AEBS, go 84mm, throw some CP 10:1's on Turbo Tuff rods.
Then redo the head to match, Pro 1's, matching VT, Victor X mani and 70mm TB. That will roll!

 

MIR was a blast today, I must say I was super excited to see such a great turn out for people supporting the sport again.

Big props to the All motor cars, NAH2B went 10.35!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The turbo cars are cracking into the 8's and a lot of the domestic cars were running 7.xx's around 180+.

Also met up with Andy, great guy!

 

I typed fast and misspelled wiseco LOL...but a sleeved block from golden eagle or somthing along those lines are around $1000 I bought mine barley used off a friend for $700..

IMO turbo tuff rods are kinda pricey matt...My friend craig and couple other friends have made 655whp and higher on eagle h beams drive and race all the time and never broke a rod lol.. theres like a $400 price difference

 

yea I think between 400-500 hp would be good, do you think I need to have a sleeved block for that hp goal? I know it would be more reliable so I might have to get it done.

 

np man, ill be watching. my car's getting painted at tax time... then onto a b16

 

You def don't need a sleeved block to make that power anymore.
As for the reliable part, that's up in the air. I'd say if you worried about it just get it sleeved then.

And JJ you are right turbo tuff rods are pricey, I was just throwing out a great build. Im running H beams in my motor!

 

dude you should've come! i drove 2.5 hours so 3 hours is nothing. next year, no excuses, you're goin! lol

def. was a great day and i must say, the best weather i've seen for that event yet. usually as soon as the sun goes down its ice cold out, but last night was not bad at all.

and damn, that clutch masters chick can f'n drive! she won her class over all. i will try to throw some pics and possibly some vids up later, but they're nothing special, just a simple $100 digital cam. i'm no photographer lol

 

Yea, everyone missed a show, cars trapping @ 193 and higher!

 

and quite a few of them at that. not to mention the green fox body mustang with the biggest blower in the world pushing 2500-3000HP and no, thats not a typo!

 

LoL yea and the other Fox Body(Go Figure) that was bouncing all the way down the track on his like 7.90 @ 19X

 

haha yeah, the one that pulled 3 wheel stands in one run! lol that guy had some ***** and could drive!

 

just got my cluster from wellington



now where did i put that b16

 

How much do JDM clusters run for now?

I got my USDM GSR cluster off ebay about 4 years ago for like $150.

 

ive never tried, but i heard cluster replacement on a da is a bitch

 

yep, sure is! and only because of the speedo cable. but i found that if you unplug it from the tranny and push it back in through the fire wall and then plug it into the cluster, then put the cluster back in place (also pushing the cable back out the fire wall) it seems to be a bit easier

 

i think even when i go b20v ill still leave my stock cluster, i think it would be cool to see the rpm ripping past the redline

 

new wheel for the DA
