So, new to this forum thing but always loved cars and probably gone through a million of them by now but I think I've figured out what I finally wanna build. Came from WRXs, 240sx, Miatas, motorcycles, Toyota rock crawlers and currently still own my C5 Z06 but always loved Hondas and my buddies are into it so here it goes!


I had an EK hatch with a B16 and traded a buddy for this EG with a BARd GSR and supposedly rebuilt motor(but who knows).




And the guy who built this bad *** is going to be helping me with my build


My goals are for a daily 500hp to the wheels for street and occasional drag strip.
Hopefully get it going before our local CMI in a couple weeks!

 

Currently got bodywork and paint done, good for now with a hook up price so can't complain. This is it before bodywork and paint. Sorry about all the pics but I know everyone wants to get straight to the pics!




Tight time frame so had to work with what I got before paint!

 

Can't wait to see more of this

 

First couple coats, using different paint brand than usual. Candy Apple Red Metallic

 

Excited to see where this goes. Not a fan on Miatas but I do have a taste for that one.

 

 

1.6 or 1.8 in the Miata? Im stoked to see this build!

 

Yea, I wasn't a big fan myself but just dove in to try it out. It was definitely a fun little car and I liked how I had mine setup.

And it was a 1.6 but all bolt ons, wasn't bad but the 1.8 is definitely a lot faster and the Torsen is a lot better also.

 

Also picked up a couple things, almost ready to be put together but missing little nick-nacs and upgrade small thing here and there

 

Can only imagine how great this is going to turn out...

Goodluck with the build and excited to see more.

 

Digg the paint at least you got it all done under the hood as well.

 

Time to go fast!

 

Looks great so far!! Im shooting for 450whp this year in my street/strip car build.

 

That's a really nice color

 

Thanks, I grown into the color, definitely something different and wanted it to look dark at night. So we did a little bit of tearing apart on the block but not much. Getting ready to tear down the block and send it to machine shop to get the crank micro polished and balanced!

 

So pretty much, here's the list for the block-
LS crank in the GSR block
SRP piston
Crower rods
Block guard

 

This build looks promising. I'm loving the color choice.

 

Uhh oohhhh! This can't be good!




Off to the machine shop it's gonna have to go!

 

You're going to hit 500whp on stock sleeves?

 

Yea that's what I'm shooting for. I know stock sleeves are not good but hopefully with a good tune it'll hold until I get my spare block sleeved. $1200 for the sleeve just isn't gonna be happening right this moment.

 

500whp on stock sleeves generally lasts 10-30 passes, from what Google tells me. That's 2.5-7.5 miles of WOT driving. That doesn't even sound like enough time to get it properly tuned, let alone even remotely call it a DD/street car. Cracking a sleeve risks taking parts of the rotating assembly with it.

Just throwing the information out there for you. I wouldn't want to risk destroying expensive hardware. When you have the financials, what sleeves are you looking at?

 

Hope it turns out awesome. Good luck with the cracked sleeve

 

Yea, there's a few around here doing a little over 500 and is running for now but my buddy has golden eagle sleeves and wants me to go that route.

 

GE isn't bad. I'm personally a fan of AEBS, but any of the three major players works (GE, AEBS, Darton).
