Default Del Sol S - Build Thread

Hey guys, im new to the forum, and im unsure if im in the correct place for this post, but I digress. Now on to the build.

I bought the car shortly before I joined the military and it had a bone stock d15b7 with a shortram intake, under glow, steelies, and rougly 325k on the odometer.

Since then I decided I would blow all of my money on building a d16z6 because everyone in my hometown was running a super low compression, turbo b series.

specs on the motor from top to bottom.

-level 3 NA bisimoto camshaft
-bisimoto valvesprings, and retainers
-ferrea valves cut at 42 degrees
-cp pistons (10.5:1)
-Eagle rods
-aem fuel rail and fpr
-skunk 2 cat back
-tuned on hondata s300

Im sitting on some 14' oz meshes that look like ls meshes, and im lowered around 2.5 inches with 2.3 degrees camber all the way around.
pics will be up soon.

My future plans are to boost it and see what happens, im looking at a dna short ram, rc 550's, gt2860rs, and an aem meth kit, but im still up in the air on all of that if I can figure out what kind of spool lag I will get, and I know im leaving a lot of stuff out, thatll all be updated once I think about it.

I will have pics up soon,
Thanks for checking out my thread, and let me know if you want any other information on my build. Its not much, but its mine. :D

Sounds like a lot of money spent to go slow. Just to be different?

Not just to be different, I had access to copious amounts of d series blocks and heads so if I blow one, I have another. and this is my daily so that's important to me. but, I respect your opinion.

Long story short, Im going through some legal stuff, and almost deployed so my car was thrown on the backburner, and im still trying to decide what I want to do as far as sizing and horsepower goals. It should start coming together this spring.

OMG could you keep your personal business out of the thread? When you start airing out your dirty laundry it never ends up well. This is a tech forum, not Dear Abby.

As for what I can see, there is absolutely no build going on here.
