Well this is my plan..

Since I live in cali i will be building the engine with Honda OEM parts and putting in forged pistons and rods at 9:1 compression and hopefully from research and suggestions i should be able to pass the sniffer test at the referee station.

After that i plan on boosting the car and getting the ecu tuned either with uberdata or other chip.. or go standalone. Well here are the pics of most of the stuff i have bought..


I drove down to afterburners house in Vegas on Sat Night at 9:00pm and got there after traffic around 1:00am and started to go through all the stuff and loaded my car with all the parts


This is Afterburners NSX



and this is my Scion TC i drove down to load all the stuff with.. i had to put tape and the car bra on because of all the rocks and debree, i didn't want my cf hood to get chipped.


This is the drop for a Scion TC with a h22a and turbo kit in the back and no people inside








daymit because of the drive my rear lip kit got melted






and this is everything in the car.. i also had 2 people in the car..






this is the drop after i removed all the stuff lol




and here is all the stuff i got -
























and here is the beautiful block






















this is how the block used to be



Turbo and manifold










this is how it used to be on afterburners lude






intake and head








PRI axles



Well thats it for now.. right now i'm trying to figure out how to figure out which main bearings to order as well as rod bearings..

Wow man, quite a setup you have planned. 9k is a lot of money, i hope it works for you man. Good luck with it all.

Oh, and props to the h22 bling

 

h ly ****....good luck with your build.

how did your rear lip melt? i've done the vegas->L.A.->back drive 3 times with no problems with the WWRS rear lip.

 

looks good, not how i would store my crank , but should be a very expensive but very powerful motor

 

thx u guys.. yeah i didn't kno that storing the crank that way was really bad... but yeah the lip melted because the exhaust wasn't mounted low enough.. still a long build and a lot more money.

 

yoooo buddy....its ToXXicluder90 from pp.com

I never even saw your plans nor did i know you were doing this.

but **** mang.... looks like your headstrong into the build.

Mad props to you for actually doing it.


im keeping this bookmarked for sure...i'll be back to see how things go.

 

goodluck

 

interesting project!!! GL with it man... oh yea... thats a lotta nice crap you brought home!

 

Thats awesome. I can't wait to see the finished product.

 

thx u guys.. still in the process of purchasing my 9:1 cp pistons from "specie" and getting some eagle rods.. i kno crowers are better but a lot more expensive but i can't decide if i should go that route.. also this is my first build so if u guys have any tips that i should be aware of pls feel free to let me kno.. one thing that i had no clue that, the proper way to store the crank is standing up and not on its side, stuff like that.

Last night my crank fell over to the ground.. but there isn't any noticable marks on it.. should i be worried ? and should i get it balanced and checked out? the ground was the cement floor in my garage.

 

ehhh looks alright....

jk nice jay jay!!

 

hahahaha


hey Danny

JDM_=_tehgayness

 

how fast is this setup going to go in the 1/4?

 

faster than yo mama.


its hard to know for sure cuz its not done.... but some turbo'd 3rd gens run 13's with stock motors....which is a huge improvment over the stocks running 16's & 17's average in the 1/4.

his will be pretty built though as opposed to most of the others so his if built right and tuned great...will prolly be faster.

 

Well i finally got my Pistons and Rods

They are 9:1 CP Pistons at 87mm Bore = $375 and Eagle H Rods =$290







The problem is that the pistons i got were originally owned by someone else but were never used, the problem is that the guy doesn't have the the paper work on the proper installation of the rings and also he already put them on and appeared to have placed on wrong.





Some were upside down and i don't really kno the proper order since for some reason there is one extra ring and one extra groove on the piston for the extra ring..

From my searches on honda-tech most of the information on the installation of the rings didn't describe an extra ring.





which order do the rings go in.. and do i need to gap all rings


also this ring is different from the rest..


also i've been trying to find a place locally to buy a ring gapper/filer/grinder... and no luck.. is online the only place i can get them at?

does anybody kno the calculations for the h22a proper gapping? like the proper formula for it?

PLEASE HELP!

 

good stuff

 

Looks like total seal rings.

The small extra ring interlock with the second ring.

 

yup i just found that out from CP Pistons that there not the original ones from CP and there total seal gapless rings.. grrr.. this sucks i've been hearing so much crap about total seal rings.. and i don't think i should risk my build by using them.
