I know i am missing more stuff to list. this is just a basic run down for now. i will updating the thread soon and adding pics.

currently shooting for 450-510whp with this set up. looking to finish by end of august, but things always go wrong so that may not be the real time ill finish.

feel free to leave comments and opinions.


The hatch being washed one last time before the teardown began.







the teardown












some free time at work so i cleaned the block and washed before taking it to the machine shop.








wrapped up and ready to go for machining


internals came in, and off to the machine shop it all went for bore to 81.5mm, hone, block guard install, and decking the block.






LS crank



while motor was at the machine shop, some more parts came in and i acquired a new daily driver. great grab for carrying parts, towing my hatch later on and for the snow of course:
RLD FAB FTW!!!






my daily





set-up an ecu with moates hulog and ostrich to make my own chips with base maps or even street tune to make extra money after work.



block came back from the machine shop and i also scored a b16 head in good condition for a great price.

 

it should make that no problem... i made 440whp on a stock gsr head....built bottem end on a t70 turbo on 15psi

 

dont get the ati race dumper my ***** get the street one if you going to drive the car on the street this artie i will tell you why when i see u

 

sorry for the delay on pics and updates everyone. its been a hectic past couple of days. from moving to a new bigger garage to settling in to my new job with delta airlines to waiting for parts. i will try my best to have pictures moved in to here asap. my valvetrain just came in last night so ill be taking pics of that also. as for now just check out my photo album on my facebook group page.

damn so many views and so little comments? guess ill start uploading the pics right now since i have some free time in my hands finally...

 

finally took some time to add pics. more pics will come soon. my supertech valvetrain just came in, and i just got some SiR bumpers for my bitch. also going to the garage soon to remove all the vents inside and all brake line, brake booster and master cylinder and fuel tank.... stay tuned.

 

Looks like an awesome build! I'm putting together a setup very similar to yours also in a hatch that should be done in the next week or two. Definitely subscribed. Love the manifold

 

thanks. im still gathering my parts and have so much stuff to do. i hope to be finish by august god willing.

 

These threads make me happy

 

im a big fan of these type of threads. now i finally get to do my own. im very excited about this build. 1 its my biggest build to date, and 2 because im an upcoming aspiring builder and tuner who is still learning, but has decided to venture to building his own motor as well as tuning it. im always bugging some of the bigger named guys such as chris from xenocron and brandon from low budget tuning. they are great help and very supportive.

 

I can totally agree with this statement

 

Subscribed! Good thread, keep it up and keep us posted!

 

Looks great man!!!

 

Havent been able to do much work in the hatch these last 2 weeks, but I got some goodies in. ill be posting more pics tonight. On another note, I cant seem to decide whether to get a 70mm or a 72mm throttle body. What do you guys think? Keep in mind this car will become a true street car next year. I will be doing a bigger sleeved set up once the season is over and winter comes back.

 

hey anyone here ever purchased and used micrometers or dial bore gauge from harbor freight tools? ive purchased other tools from there before and were good quality. im just unsure abut presicion tools like these. im trying to start assemblig my bottom end and i dont have a huge budget to go buy snap on precision tools this week. someone help please. thanks.

 

how fast u trying to go when ur car is done, sleeved motor and all

 

Come on man get this donee!! haha

 

I dont know about HF tooling but I'm sure they'll be fine in the short term. Its when you want the mic to be perfectly accurate over extended usage when you'll have wear issues witht he cheap stuff.... that is assuming the HF stuff is made to some sort of standard and is accurate in the first place.

As for snapon, Mitutoyo is where its at for measuring accuracy and highest quality.

Anyway nice build, steam clean cabinet looks handy for the block. Is that block painted too?

what turbo are you running?

Liked your FB page. checkout mine and like back too

really dont even know im just focusing on the stock sleeve set up right now maybe run low 11's ill be happy. when i sleeve and upgrade to the bigger set up over the winter i just hope to be competitive enough in the sfwd or true street class.

 

ill be running a precision 6262 ball bearing .82ar turbo

 

lol im trying my hardest to finish as soon as possible. my goal all along has been august and debut in e-town honda day if all goes well. lol

 

what about you? what are your future goals for your set up?

 

excuse the delay on the updates. been very busy with work. will try to add pics of the valvetrain that came in, the polished victor-x, and the jdm gsr with lsd tranny i acquired. other then that i spoke to a few of the older guys at work who have experience building engines. i was told as long as i only plan on using the cheaper micrometers for this one build only i should be ok. its when people tend to re-use them that they have false readings because of internal parts wearing out. that being said im ordering a set of micrometers this weekend and beginning to assemble my botom end. by the way who is attending spring nationals at raceway park enlgish town may 1st? my team has 1 car for sure going, possibly 2 if we get the other one done in time.

 

need to get my boost solenoid to work so it stops spinning 2nd to see how really fast it is. 140 is a nice mph

 

yeah your car is running real good for the first time out. i know there always little bugs to work out, and there is only room for improvement. you plan on putting a cage in anytime soon? i wanted to put a cage in and paint my car and everything but i kinda want to get it out first and if anything do all that later when i take the motor out to sleeve it.
