Im new the the appearance forum. Actually i think ive been here about 5 times or so since ive joined HT. And in browsing the threads i dont recognize hardly any of the usernames here. So i decided to share my car with you folks that dont frequent the FI forum. Anyhoo. here goes nothing i guess. Any comments, or criticism are welcome, dont go too overboard. Im 18. Here goes nothing i guess.

Well to start off i purchased the car for $3000.00 when i was 16 years old. It looked like this when i purchased it






Then for a few months later. Back to stock, GSR swap, Rota C8s...few other odds and ends.






That wasnt fast enough. So i decided to do an H2B swap with a jdm h22 and a B16 tranny. Had that the longest which would be ehhh. id say about a year and a half or so. The car had 67 trips down the 1/4 mile with this setup with a best of 13.58@103 on street tires.






And finally, I decided to sell my bike and invest a little more money in my car. I purchased a car with some of the turbo things already on it, some werent. I basically got that car just for the built longblock...etc. The rest of the pictures are what ive done in the past 2-3 months or so. The car is awaiting a catch can which should be arriving monday (Thanks T1). And my valve covers bungs should be welded on tomorrow. The car made 461whp on 13lbs. Its an 84mm GSR with a t67...and alot more crap i dont feel like naming at the moment.

















Just finished this up the other day. Its 4'' Aluminum. its purpose is pretty much to keep the exhaust gasses from coming through my shifter hole.




And this. This is what 300.00 will buy you from Summit. lol




Ill get some pics of the catchcan up on monday. Hopefully by then my valve cover will be done also.

 

I dont think i mentioned this. Im 18 years old and i did all the work myself, minus the paint. I did help prep the car for paint though. My best friend paints cars for a living among other things.

 

nice car.....good work for your age.

 

SWeet hatch nice work!

 

Well done.

 

thanks for the kind words guys. my valve cover still isnt done. so i cant put pictures of that up. but hopefully my catch can arrives tomorrow.

 

Nice build!

 

Very nice build!

 

thanks guys. i still want to do alot more to the car. clean some more things up here and there. i want to buy these replica bride seats from a sponsor on here. the lowmax. i want to get a set of those. but i honestly cant bring myself to spend money for something like that. im more into function over form. but who knows.

 

Damn nice.

 

thanks for all the support fellas. but heres what i got done tonight....undecided if im gonna sand the letters on the VC yet or not.

 

damn, nice work. Way to bring it back from the dead.

 

x2, good work and I'm definitely glad u brought it back from the dead. The first pictures are hideous.

Only thing I'd do different is get rid of the "DOHC" sticker but thats just my opinion. Out here in CA "stickers get you stolen."

Good work!!!

 

excellent, love the whole thing

 

Awesome numbers @ 13lbs. Vids or ban;

 

Did you use a plastic push-on/pushlock fitting on teh gate?

I have metal ones for my tial.

Car is put together very nicely. I wish I knew what I know now back when I was 16. I wasted so much money building the 3 cars before this one.

 

Very nice car and great work man.I definitely need to step my game up

 

yeah all of my fittings are plastic. they have a brass base. but i never really got a chance to waste any money. most of my good friends all drive hondas and i was always pointed in the correct direction. i never was into the whole rice thing...

 

btw thanks alot guys. glad you like the car.

 

Looking really good Adam.

 

man great work, wat a way to get into the game..keep it up!!

 

now i just need to scrape up the money to get the car tuned...which is gonna be hard now that im laid off. i really hope obama actually does something about this crap......

 

dyno tuning tomorrow at 1pm. will post results when i get home. only for pump gas until i get a better clutch. so dont get too excited

 

well. my boost controller decided to be homosexual today. and it kinda yeah. didnt work at all. we ran into a few small issues on the dyno but got everything worked out. on the .9bar (13lbs) wastegate spring it made 403whp and 271tq. was expecting a little more, but the car runs great so im not gonna complain. going back soon to try out the neptune controlled pwm boost solenoid and boost by gear. hopefully i have some better number results to post of that. the car was tuned by John Kerr of Innovative MotorWerks in Carlisle PA. Id go scan the graphs, but im tired as *****. Ill do it tomorrow.

 

have john or derek post em on here, or it might be on there site already

very nice car, my cousin is going to get tuned by john tomorrow and idk how many times that fool has tuned my car

btw why not just buy the whole kit from t1 instead of just the cans, id imagine it would have been about the same price if not cheaper
