Hello HT. I've been working on this build for waaay too long but it's been making some head way lately. I bought this eg bone stock and have only done little things here and there, since it was my daily for so long (4 years). I was able to buy another vehicle to dd, so "good" work has been started. This is my first turbo build so please be gentle. Questions, comments, advise welcome. Enjoi.

Some beginning shots of the build.






Some parts I have been collecting.

R-Crew Exhaust


Turbo kit I picked up from the PFC Hatch guys in Colorado. Check em out on you tube. Bad ***!








CTR Cams






Rebuilt GSR Trans and beed blasted case.




Some install shots...













New/used suspension. Can't wait to see how these feel.





Some vital watchers..



More parts...



Home made catch can.









More install shots. These are of the tuck. After looking at these I think I can def tighten it up a bit.





She's almost run ready right here. Just waiting on some lines, hardware and radiator. Also need to install the rail, injectors and catch can.

 

Looks good man! I always love a good hatch build!

 

Sexy *** hatch, can't wait to see the progress build up! Awesome.

 

Thank you kind sirs. More to come soon.

 

Great build! Keep us update!

 

simple yet serious, dope.

 

Liking where this is going!

 

very nice very nice!

 

Thanks everyone. I'm def trying to go with "function over fashion" at the moment. I'll have a couple teasers comin up next week. New wheels, some fittings and lines and boost solenoid. Also started tearing down the interior. Pics soon.

 

Your thread title made me not want to check it out....your such a tease lol... looks very good sir...keep us updated please

 

Small update of a couple odds and ends...



Bigger update! wheels came in but i dont know how i feel about the offset. They're +25. with the right tires they'll be hella flush lol. I wanted to run 225/45 tires on these but i dont think thats gonna happen.

 

dang! cant wait to get started what u doing for interior

 

.....

 

Started on the interior. Basically a strip and repaint gunmetal. Soon to come, two buckets checkerd sports parts and eventually a cage...

X2^

those pfc guys have a nasty hatch

 

So finally some new updates. The last few days I've been going through the motor an all accessories making sure everything is perfect. There is sooo much to do but a lot done. I installed a much needed radiator and fan. My down pipe is a lil large and in charge so i had to move the radiator over. This required me to drill out the bottom mounts, re tapping in new locations and fabing my own top rad. stay. Not great but it works for now. Next, was onto getting the fuel system installed, cutting, re pinning and soddering the new clips and wires. Also, installed the boost solenoid and vacuum lines, just need to wire it up. ENJOI

 

Great parts spotted here! In for more!

 

Specs on your motor? What hp goals are you going for? Looks great so far

 

^^^^B18c1, slightly milled head, ctr cams, arp head studs, otherwise internally stock....for now. Shootin for 14-15 lbs using e85 fuel and hopefully 430-460 whp. Def will still be a work in progress for a long time.

 

The bov, i was all ways under the impression you wanted it closest to the TB. correctly if I am wrong, does this keep more pressure in your manifold or what? Clean build never the less. Any plans of welding up the holes in the core support and the bay?

 

^^^^from the research I've done, placing the bov before the Intercooler will eliminate unwanted heat from soaking into the intercooler during daily driving or situations where you would be cycling your bov heavily. This location helps prevent hot air going through your cooler for no reason.

As far as shaving the bay, I like the look on a lot of cars on here and wherever but for me and my setup, I like just the tucked look.

 

Super clean build.
And I love those rims, my friend used to have a set on his eg that weren't hellaflushed

 

Exhaust setup looks so legit how much was it? awesome build by the way!
