i thought i would share my project and see what other owners think about it.
a lil about the car. i picked it up 2-3 weeks ago, with the swap. 2 days(thursday) later i spun a conn rod bearing in cylinder 1 and the work began. i had plans to rebuild the bottom but not this soon or well....

chassis is a 95' primer black GSR, it need a LOT of work!!.







The motor















Modified by GSR-C5 at 5:57 AM 8/10/2007

 

good stuff, keep us updated on the progress

 

should be fun, good luck

 

wow. maybe a sleeper...

 

the plan is to get the body back to stock with some goodies CF hood, USDM type R fenders with side marker, Type R rear lip, Type R rear spoiler, JDM type R seats and black carpet. maybe some 15" Rota slip steam painted gold.

future plans for the motor is turbo( don't know what size yet) JE 9:0 pistons, Eagle rods, APR head studs. the head will stock for now until i figure everything out with teh turbo. still in the reseaching stage of it. but the goal will be 400whp-450whp as a summer DD.

it going to be a long project and plans for it to be done in summer 08'.

LMK what you guys think, all comments are welcome.

thanks, will try to add to this and keep it updated as i can, but the work will be long.

i'm still having a lil issue about what part/color conn rod bearings to order. when i have all of that, the motor(block and head) is going to the shop to be cleaned,pepped and reassy then leak test(compession tested)

 

jsuted order all of the parts need for rebuild.

Peakboost?

 

10-12psi will be max that i will run w/o sleeves.

 

well after taking the motor apart and down to the shop i find out that my head is F**Ked from the oil lag and metal shaving from the bearing. i will post pic of the head. so i'm in a quest to find a used P73 head if i can't find one i will go with new with all JUN internals.

 

damn dudue that sucks about the head but good luck finding another one

 

thanks dude. GL on your prject too. boost the LS not the D

 

good luck man, keep us posted. put up lots of pictures.

 

damn that sux. had same thing happen on my teg a few yrs back but i just sold the car. g/l with the build.

 

How much for the FD??? nice car

 

the FD is not for sale. you're the first to notice it.lol

 

this what happen when you over rev and have metal shavings, dirty *** oil and oil lag does to your head.

 

i was told by 3 shops that the head is unrepairable, due to the fact that no one makes over sizes cam for a p73 head well hondas.

so let me know if you have a p73 head F/S.
i'm get all new JUN internal and will be running either Shunk2 cams or something along that line. mostly after teh C5 is done i will use the parts and build the LS bottom end and get a p72(gsr) head and use the internals from the p73 head and go N/A since i have all of the parts already.

then i will have 2 nicely built motor. N/A for autoX and boosted for the 1/4 track and race night.

 

i can't seem to find a PR3 head from either a b16 or b18. found a few around me bout the guy was alil on the shady size.

found one guy with one, i hope it work out.

didn't pick the B18b motor the yard either. it in real shity shape.

will be in SC(greenville) area this weekend if anyone has or know someone with a PR3 head. let me know was up before Thursday.

 

well it been long and hard to find any decent motor around me. **** it took me 2-3 months just to find this one. still didn't get the head yet.

the motor is just to get me around for the winter, as the C5 is getting built. hopefully by the spring the paint and body work is done and the motor will also be ready.

the motor i got is a B18A1. it's in a really dirty, i mean dirty. i have never since a motor so dirty. but what can you do. going to be droping it in wed, but i have a few ?? if it's going to work or not. but gonna give it a shot and go from there.

on to the pics.



spayed down with a whole can of carb cleaner and what ever cleaner i found...


look at the dirt


shity red paint value cover.

 

so i have a lot of work a head of me to get this this clean and in the car before teh upstate NY shity weather comes around.

i have a few ?? to ask.

1. i picked up a dizzy off of a 92' or 93' 4 door auto from the yard today and the plugs are def from my OBD1 harness. did they make ODB0 that year? or i should be looking for a 94'- 95' dizzy? or they do have OBD1 93'-94' dizzy and i just didn't get the right one?..

TIA for the anwser.

 

can u say sleeper

 

car looks pretty tosted

 

yeah, the body isn't that good. but it's going to be my DD and winter beater.
i just want a fast DD. nothing wrong with a boosted teg for your DD.

 

i like the 7
always wanted to get one. good luck on ur project
