Got home from Afghanistan and started my turbo build that I've been getting together since I deployed. I will be running a garret 60 trim with tial wastegate running 15lbs. I will also be running 1000cc injectors from five-0 motorsports and 340lph intank fuel pump running on E85 gas. I'm looking to get around 350-400hp with this setup. I will be posting pics here later once my Internet starts working since I'm posting this from my iPhone. I'm open to comments and constructive criticism from all members.

 

 

Let me know how the Five-O injectors are. I need to order mine.

 

No worries man car should be up an running in about a week depending how long it takes to do my wire tuck and abs removal. Like I said I will post progress pics as I go once my Internet quits being gay.

 

I will post more pics as I go with this build

 

I have an ugly yellow valve cover just like that, it's not going on my car -_-

 

How long were you in Afghanistan for ? Will you be going back out or was that your last deployment ? Sorry, I know it's not related to your build. I'm just curious

 

yea that valve cover isn't going back on the motor I have a Mugen valve cover to put on it.

hopefully that was my last deployment I don't ever wanna go back to that **** hole of a country. it was worse than Iraq. I was there for 6 months thank god it was a short deployment. I came home cuz my wife is pregnant and about to give birth.

 

Ha, I have a red one in place but the yellow one I have will get sand blasted and maybe hydro dipped or powder coated a candy blue or anodized looking blue, whatever you wanna call it. What outfit are you from? I know a few people who were over there but they were in the Navy so it's not like they had a rough time.

 

Im in the army stationed at Ft Lewis with 2nd Infantry Division.

 

My dad said the same thing as you LOL, except he was in the Corps. Welcome back.

In for more of the build!!

 

I bet you are. It must feel like escaping from hell.

Good luck with the build anyway.

 

Thanks guys I got more pics to post when my mother in law gets off the computer. I actually have a question for you guys.... A lot of people are telling me that I need to stretch my ARP head studs....how do I do that? I'm currently at that point in the build where I'm installing them and need to know how to stretch them before complete installation.

 

You don't. Just follow ARP's instructions and you won't go wrong. Just make sure all the studs bottom-out and are at the same level. Put a ruler across them to be sure if you wish.

 

Ok thanks rich

 

You can tighten the studs up in the block if you wish. Make sure you don't go too mad though 10-15ft/lb is enough.

 

here's some pics I took last night after I got the head off





ill post more pics tonight once I get the the ARP head studs in and the head back on with the new cam gears and the new clutch and flywheel.

as you can see I don't have a lot of room to work in my garage which sucks but im making work.

 

Make sure you keep everything as clean as clean can be. I've recently had to pull my engine apart due to oil contamination which could of been avoided. If you're unsure, then strip the lot down and blast it all down with a power wash and degreaser. It's better to be safe now, than sorry later...

 

oh yea I know rich.....that's the last thing I want is some **** to happen once its all back together.....im cleaning everything of every inch of this motor. especially since im not doing a full motor build till next winter/spring.

 

Make sure you put everything in plastic Zip lock baggies and LABEL THEM!

 

This.

It makes everything so much easier when putting it all back together.

Good luck with the build

 

did that with all the engine bolts and parts already. the rest of the car like suspension bolts I just threw all in a couple bags cuz I know where each one goes. but I did label all the engine bolts like the cam bolts and what not. Thanks a lot guys. I will post more pics later once I get the head studs all in and the motor back together.

 

good stuff sir! love seeing integras getting rebuilt using its original motor!

 

thanks man....got the head on late last night so I got get the timing belt, the valve cover, sandwich plate, and the oil lines on today before I put the motor back in the car. I will post pics once all that is done today.

 

ok so I got the head all back together got it timed and put the timing belt, valve cover, sandwich plate, and flywheel on. I had to stop though, the wife was bitching about me spending too much time in the garage since ive been back from aghanistan but here are some pics of the progress.
