Default GarageBuilt EF hatch build thread

Just figured id post this from another forum...

posting this from another forum im on to share with yall


Okay so I figured with all the changes and back n forth it was time to get it set in stone. Since then I have been busting my butt to work and do work to the car. This will be a thread full of WIN AND SEX! SFW tho lol. Over the last few months in hiding I have picked up a great sponsor, AFI Turbo. A lot of people know their stuff is some of the greatest high quality parts available in our market. I have worked with Brad setting up the right combination to get the times we are ultimately shooting for. Heres a run down of the setup:

Chasis:
1989 EF civic Hatch DX
converted to Si chasis harness

Suspension:
Ksport coilovers
Ksport LCA
Ksport camber kit
Russell SS brake line kit
Sitting on Konig Candy 15x7.5 +30

Motor:
B16A
ARP flywheel bolts
Fidanza flywheel
ARP pressure plate bolts
Competition clutch Stage 5
Clevite bearings
Brian Crower rods w/ ARP2000 rod bolts
CP 10.5:1 81.5mm pistons
Golden eagle OEM bored head gasket 81.5mm
Arp Head studs
GSR cams
Bisi cam gears
Gates Water pump
Gates high temp timing belt
Hondata Intake manifold gasket

Turbo setup:
AFI custom forward facing manifold T4 single 44mm vband
AFI B-series aluminum Intake manifold
Precision 6266 T4 .70A/R intake side .96A/R exhaust
Turbosmart Hypergate 45mm WG
Turbosmart 52mm Raceport BOV
Injector dynamics 1000cc

Much more will be added to this shortly. I am currently working on shaving the bay and respraying it so it will really shine my new parts. I also have to wait for my cam gears to get here since 1. I have been trying to get ahold of bisi for over 2 months now and finally contacted evolution industries who manufactures the cam gears and order through them. I hope to have this thing done by feb 2012. now on with the pics:

This is the last time I posted the car so we will go from here:

I am redoing the harness due to how unsatisfied I am by the way it is. Will most likely redo the chasis harness also.

beginning the shaving process and cutting to make room for the turbo:
