This is my very first build that I just finished up in August of '10. To make a long story short, I found this car in Kissimme (sp?) Florida using Craigslist. The very next day, my girlfriend and I were on a plane flying down from Indy to buy it. The reason I wanted this particular one was because it was a rust free car even though it was Milano Pink. When I brought the car home, I drove it for a few months and then it went under the knife in late Feb of '10. Before I bought the car I had it already set in my mind that I wanted it to have a turbo B18c1 and I wanted to do it from the ground up. I tried to keep a tight budget on the project but as many of you know, it doesnt quite happen that way.. lol. After spending months working on it for a few hours here and there each night, I finally finished the car in late August of '10 with some help from some friends. This being my first build I was really happy with the results. On 93 octane the car made 400whp@16 psi. on an unfinished tune due to a broken pressure ACT pressure plate. The car was later street tuned on E85 and made roughly 450ish@16 psi (stock sleeves). I currently have the block stripped down and ready to get AEBS sleeves, Manley I-beams, CP 84mm 9.7:1 pistons, PTE Billet BB 6765, and a Fathouse Fabrications topmount manifold. Heres a very vauge picture timeline:































Thanks for looking guys!

 

looks good man what injectors are you on i dont remember seeing them listed

this build is similar to mine

 

nice build reminds me of my eg....what kinda numbers are u trying to shoot for with the new setup??

 

Thanks man! Im running ID1000's.

 

Im not really set on a HP number but im thinkin 650ish?? My goal is to trap 142 lol.

 

650/410 is what i made at 26pri on e85 man

38mm gate/50mm blow off with a precision pt67 70/82

 

i trapped 144 and ran a shitty 10.8 lol my short track is not the best at all

 

Thats pretty solid! What compression were you running? also what is the weight of your car?

 

Sell me that valve cover!!

GL with the build

 

2240 is the weight, and comp is arounr 10:1

we never did get the showrt track right before the rod let go lol

 

nice setup....its great to see someone spend the money and do things right from the start.

 

Haha alot of people really like the VC! Which is surprising considering all the unique ones you see at like Import Alliance.

Thats a shame man. is the car back up and running now?

Thanks man! I appreciate it. I didnt plan on getting this in-depth wiht the build but once you do one mod, its like 3 others directly follow. haha.

 

If anyone is looking for Wiseco pistons and Eagle Hbeam gsr rods let me know!!

 

nah its in the garage stripped down man

i have a b16/rs sleeved/84.5mm/ waiting for me to take a trip and get it lol

im going to go with a bigger cooler this year/id2000's and hope for 750ish on e85

 

nice! any issues with your trans?
