So just you give you guy's a little update, I just ended up getting a citylight socket from PWJDM, luckily my contact/sponsor was willing to just hand it over to me with also their last SIR-S 1pc wing. I guess jdm EG part's are getting harder and harder to come by...

 

Updates:

Im having no luck @ all with my swap. The studs broken in the engine block arent showing any signs of weakness. Ive tried titanium drill bits on them and they still arent showing any wear. Im scared to see what else is gonna happen with this.

 

damm...that sucks about the swap. You try using a stronger drill + some oil?

 

Some prefer jelly, but I prefer syrup :-p lol

 

I did. I got in contact with a guy @ a machine shop. He told me to use a left handed drill bit (I thought he was lying but they do have ones that drill in the opposite direction). He said to hit it with a low speed and use oil.

I know. I love that sweet sticky love.

 

lol.......yeah..

 

I tried what the machinist told me but my previous attempts had the holes off centered so I got down into one of the holes but the other cracked in half. The stud that was broken in there looks like it had welded itself in there. Now I have to find a place to weld the broken piece back on and weld the holes shut in hopes of redrilling them. I hope all this effort is worth it. Im going for broke on this build.

 

dang dude that sucks. so im home now and about to upload some pics!

 

oh man, effing drool worthy. nice!

 

whats up gangsters?

 

I had the best machine shop in the state look at my mangled gsr block. They considered it useless. The cost for me to repair the damage I might as well go lsvtec. So Im at a crossroads. Either quit and just get a daily for school or finish. And this time Im seriously debating it. Probably save my money and invest in some stocks.

 

LSVTEC!

 

i have a autometer fuel pressure gauge minus the sending unit

squad worthy/

 

if thats the case...time to just junk the block then & start w/ a new one.

 

I dont have the time to truely dedicate myself to building a new block. This is my last year of undergrad so I have to give 100% with my education since this is my make or break time to determine if Im graduate school material. Plus if I build a block I always wanted to build a 2.0 GSR. Ill save that for after I graduate. So for now I am just gonna amp up my B16 with all the mods I had for my GSR. Its for the best since I can retain the reliability. Since Im well into the build Im gonna try to break 180whp on my stock B16. This car is just for fun and drivability. I am going to post a FS thread soon with all my extra parts.

 

well atleast ur not leaving the honda scene. still sucks about the block dude. But whats important first.

 

Am i squad worthy?.

 

What is that like a flat color gold?

 

jeff i think that is what will be best for you right now man. i dug around but you would have to sleeve the block my boy has. so its not worth it.

 

charlie if your selling your car let me trade you lug nuts with you! lol let me know

 

Its a jeep commander green with no clear coat.

 

I agree.

 

????????? or real?

 

Hahaha dude they're only like $100 my price. Or I can get you the more baller ones for like $150.

 

That is what I am wanting to do. Im hoping to sell some of my extra parts and fund a minor lsvtec build (Stock block B18A, semi built head). I can get a running block for stupid cheap ($100), I just need to come up with the funds for the golden eagle kit and a valve job.
