... i was wondering what everyone had planned for winter projects?!?

... here is what i have planned so far: cometic head gasket and arp head studs... (looking for suggestions) anything else i should do while i have the head off (valvetrain, mill, cams)?... i am also planning on upgrading my stock shocks... maybe konis, tokico, or kyb... any other ideas/suggestions for my winter project?... right now i am only boosting 5.5 psi, but i think i can go up to 7 psi and still be safe (putting the diy-wb on soon so i will know for sure)... my goal for after the winter is 10-15 psi, 275-300 whp, mid to low 13's... my winter budget is about $1500-$2000... is this goal possible?... what do i need to do to get there by next spring?...

any/all suggestion are appreciated... lemme know... thanks...

turbo set up with my custom fabricated intercooler from http://tjn115.tripod.com/icweb.htm. Probably do some block and head work, if I can find some parts for my d15b2.

 

Buy all the parts for my homemade 14b project and hopefully be able to put it together by spring.

 

upgrade to a hondata 4b and get a DIY wideband and learn to tune my own car. play with the motor in the car right now and try out some stuff, maybe a lil more boost, maybe some race gas, maybe blow it up hehe all for fun and the experience. Then in the mean time Im gonna re-ring and clean up my spare LS block and drop that in when i blow up my current one. then save up and do I FULL build up on my original block, more like winter/spring/summer/fall project haha. And in the middle of all that I gotta find time to put the car down for a few weeks while I rebiuld the tranny and install a quaffe, maybe a new clutch too but the current one is still holding up really good. glad im working again but it should fun and I should learn alot. our winters in texas are more like cold/rainy summers we can pretty much race year around but the winter is actually the peak of the racing season cause of the cold weather. haha.

Save money!!!...for my 24.5x8x13" slicks and lenso's or bogarts, Quafie(sp)limited slip, 550's so I can run 11's in the spring! Never ending story...

 

my project is just to finish my damn civic. December 1st marks 2 years of owning the car...

 

I don’t have any big projects planed this winter (i have working in the cold). To complete my setup all i need is to decide between Hondata and AEM then tune and i'm all done with the power plant.
Then i plan on putting it in the body shop to shave the moldings and handles (call me a ricer all you want but i like the look + i'm able to hand 95% if not more of the Hondas around here) and get a nice paint job. Install my Z10 and i'm ready for summer cursing.

 

FINISH the first stages of my build up(= getting my custom kit on) ive owned my car for 2 1/2 years and all I can show for it really is an exhaust and springs (well i have other **** but i never did any BIG mods)

 

Finish All-Motor Setup
Repaint Car Stock Color
Re-doing Suspension

Trying to be finished by Springtime.

Suprdave

 

Not quite winter yet, but depending on how low the machine shop has my block....

Currently, i'm waiting for the machine shop to install my darton's, balance the rotating mass, and partialy assemble the bottom-end for me.

Darton's
Wiseco 84.5mm
Eagle rods
ACL's
ARP head studs

I still need a better fuel setup to realize more than 10psi of boost...Hopefully I can have it all done before winter actually gets here, that way i can driveit a bit.

Oh yeah, 1.8T_EG I think the best mod you could do for your setup would be to swap out to a T3/T4 setup. That super 60 is prolly good foir early spool and daily drving, but it doens't flow quite enough for your high revving B18C.

oh man, in Minnesota, so many people get a lot done over winter. The muscle car guys especially. When ever I can sell my teg to finance my turbo civic I'll start working on that around fall hopefully. I plan on getting a hold of a vtec sohc and throwing in some LS rods and maybee better pistons if money permitts. then swap that w/stock. Goal is strong reliable boost

 

turbo install over spring break
not winter... but close

 

Well ****...I was hoping to finish this **** before winter, but it doesnt look like it. I gotta pick up the block from the machine shop on friday, when the cometic comes in today or tomorrow assemble the motor. I still can't get the damn transmission casing back on, so I also need to do that. After all that is complete, I can finish my turbo setup.........Gonna buy
Delphi 75lb/hr
MaxRev manifold/dp(3')
Blow off vavle
Tuning by VaporTrail...

God why cant money just come faster......it kills me looking at this damn 60-1 everyday I wake up in my room....

free bump for me

 

Plans....in order

- Stripe the interior of my CRX. install rear strut bar. Redo sub setup. basically just get rid of the peices that are not functional.

-Build up my spare ZC motor for 400HP.

-Build my PT60 turbo setup.

-Build my aeromotive fuel system setup utilizing the stock tank.

-Build my custom Propane injection setup.

-Dyno, Dyno, Dyno.....

-Suspension rebuild. New Struts, bushings, swaybars, crossmember.

all in all....my plans are to spend about $8,000......

 

-Pull the b16 out of the black g2

-Take the vtec head and assemble
the built bottom end

-Pull the LS out of the white g2

-Swap that LS onto the black g2

-Swap all suspension, electronics
interior, etc., from the black g2 -> white g2

-Get the white g2 painted

Hopefully I can be back boosting by next year

 

Finish up piecing my turbo kit together...

Well right now I plan to finish my custom turbo kit that I bought. Most of the piping doesn't fit and I dont even have all the parts. Hopefully this wont take me to winter or even that much of the fall.

 

Take the sohc vtec slammer out again.

Clutch masters clutch
LS rods and block guard
ARP head studs + stock HG
VAFC/SAFC or SMC with 450's
coil overs and shocks
brakes (replace stock for now)

 

Rebuild Transmission in CRX
Install Quaife LSD in it
Strip it to the bone

Install 5 pt harness
GC Coilovers
Koni Yellows


if needed rebuild engine with stock compression forged internal in anticipation of a home made turbo setup to be done next winter.


assuming I keep the car of course.
