hi guys my name is mike I been in the hobby about ten years now. Ive had this car since around 2006 and it was my second honda. So it started off an ls vtec with about 200whp in 2006-2008. In 2008 the timing belt snapped on me and I bent a couple valves and I had just lost my license so it had to sit. Two weeks before that happened I just got new wheels, drilled and slotted rotors, pads, coilovers, lcas, traction bars, balljoints , tie rods, and wheel bearings. Its sat until now lol but its getting closer to getting back on the road. She is a 1992 cx hatchback it is red with black roof, hood and hatch right now but will be painted shortly probably black cherry metallic and I might stick with the old theme and do the roof and stuff black, not sure on that yet tho.

more pics some of car in its current state..
eventually im gonna need to get a cage, mayb a chute and deffinately getting a 3 pc front end shortly after we get it done.

 

will be putting up pics of bottom end tomorrow and head whenever its done at the machine shop.. probably next week. it would've been done today but yesterday when he was trying to put in the guides he realized I ended up receiving d series intake guides by accident but theyre taking care of that so as soon as I get the b series ones hell prolly finish it the next day or so.

 

I will be running hondata s300 with boost by gear and running e85 for fuel. power goal im hoping to hit is 650-700 whp on around 27 psi and hoping to net a mid to low 10 second et! may be changing to a 60mm wastegate or add another 44 depending if it creeps or not. also by the time it gets finished my fuel pump situation could change and I might b adding kseries coilpacks.

 

went and got some dei titanium header wrap today and started but they only had 15ft rolls and it was only enough for half lol

 

Thumbs up from me, looks good so far. Any goals in terms of 1/4mile ETs once its all running?

 

Thanks man..Well if all goes well im hoping to get real comfortable with the et streets n hoping to hit a 10 with them if I can.. But my goal with slicks is a low 10 et at around 140.. On another note I will b adding an ATI race damper n a 4.2 final in case I need some more mph outta 4th gear.

 

got the head back today. got it put back together for the most part.. tomorrow ill get to the shop n throw the springs in n shell b ready to go on the motor

 

Forgot to mention that I will b running a bwr catch can which I have yet to buy n a odyssey battery that will b mounted somewhere hidden not sure where yet tho.

 

interested to see how and where you mount your battery

 

ballistic speedfactory makes the mount that I will most likely use will be mounted either in the fender or behind the bumper probably..
got the springs in today so hopefully this weekend I can get the motor ready to go in!

 

got the manifold wrapped up a lil better today.. waiting for another roll to come in the mail n ill finish it. got a couple color options for the car also.. what do u guys think?

 

got a little bit done today.. got my interior cleaned up a little and put in the car. stills need some armorall also snapped a pic of the bottom end which has 1000 miles on it.

 

keep up the good work

 

thanks

 

Get rid of the hose clamps and get stainless steel zip ties, much cleaner looking. They even have them in black.

 

I was at the auto parts and that was the only thing they had that would work.. where can u get the steel zip ties

 

I got mine off of Ebay. They hold up well in high heat areas. I have been using them on my cars for 10 years.

 

thanks man ill have to check that out I was looking at the auto parts for a better way but the hose clamps were the only thing they had that I seen would work.

 

got my new tank today! was gonna throw it in but decided to prime and paint it before I do since it was bare metal. also got my fittings for my pump hanger since im reusing my old feed as my return im gonna get rid of the old return and put an 8an to 3/8 npt 90 degree fitting in the hanger and put a nut with an oring and using a female 3/8 barb fitting to connect the hose to the pump.. hoping this will work.. I was trying to get some insight from someone who has done it but no one replied and I couldn't find any info so ill be the guinea pig I guess lol also im gonna get rid of the old wiring that comes threw the hanger and run 8 gauge straight to the pump and seal it around the wire.. curious what I should seal it with? if any one sees this and has ideas let me know.

 

Have you considered some type of undercoating for the bottom of the fuel tank, for durability?

Also glad to see someone else is taking the time to document their build, looking good so far

 

thanks man... Yea I was debating it but I had some gloss black laying around so I just used that. I may later on tho if it starts to get chipped up

 

got the tank in today! also ordered my wiring to wire my fuel pump, still need to get a relay and figure out how to wire that up.. will post up some pics when I get it done. also got some 6an fittings to finish my return.

 

Wow, extensive work, im dign it! But i do have 1 question...can u share ur budget w me so i can finish my eh3 hahaha jk. Keep up the awesome work, things gna b SICK
