I hope this is the right forrum for this but I am getting an ej9 shell hopefully this weekend and I want to make my first build thread.
The shell I am getting is rolling and complete I wil post pictures once I get it.

My parts/to do list
Well first strip it out
B16 swap as I already have the engine
s4c box with LSD
Teg type r ecu
Bit of wiring for vtec
Buddyclub v-con vtec controller
Apex coilovers
Advan Racing lightweight alloys
Jdm Tow hook for rear (incase i come off track so they dont pick the car up
Tow strap for front
Bucket seats
Then Harness
FIA approved cage
5 Point harness
safety features like cut offs and fire extuishers
and then fix any problems i come into and I will post everything i do into the thread with a lot of pictures please watch I will post again once i get the car with a lot of pictures of before and after and my work thanks for looking

 

by the way the shell is a 97 with uprated front discs and to add to the to do list ek9 or else dc2 huba and discs all round

 

Why do you need a itr ecu and a buddyclub vtec controller? Do you know what you are doing?

 

the engine has itr cam and itr dual valve springs and intake and tb and i like the ecu because the rev range is higher and vtec controller because on the itr ecu vtec kicks at 55 i like it around 5800 the cut off is 9000

 

You can alternatively buy a tuneable ECU. That'd kill 2 birds with one ECU wouldn't it?

Besides throwing ECU's at birds, consider a 23mm rear sway bar with a subframe brace, stiffer rear springs than front springs, amd 225/45/15 tyres...atleast up front.

Gotta get this motha to rotate.

 

that's still my conclusion after seeing that list lol






s300 FTMFW

32 hollow doe bcuz track car, i'm running a ASR 32mm hollow at .120 wall thickness, AMR coil overs are decent can pick rates into the 16K's. And I HIGHLY recommend spherical bearings.



OP this sounds more like a weekend car not a full on time attack car.

 

He has a hatchbox. Not sure how well a 32mm bar would work on such a short wheel base and light weight.

Weekend driver or not; the right combination can make it faster than trailered cars. I passed plenty of shoeboxes on the track with my full street mode ITR.

 

I did take that into consideration (kinda) but with the .095 wall thickness on it's lowest setting it's the equivalent to a 25mm solid but at just 1/3rd of the weight. With the right driver that's 100% true I've never done a HPDE/Road race just time attack in which we race the times posted buy others, so no distractions. Tons of fun tho and if you're good enough you can go to buttonwillow raceway in November for the Global Time Attack super lap battle. R-division(local Toronto team) and their ITR were less then a second behind the sport car motion integra at last years GTA:SLB! I raced in the same class at the beginning of last season with him too which was neat.. he's a cool guy.

 

It is just for track days and I had first planned to build it with a coupe but i prefer the hatch s handling characteristics and its a budget build for now thats why I am working with what I have atm and then I plan to upgrade to a b18cR eventually and start racing in the ITCC

 

And I will eventually go obd1 with a chipped ecu when I have a track day or 2 under my belt

 

I'm not sure why you'd want a chipped ECU over a tuneable one. And I'm not sure why you want to buy an ITR ECU and VTEC controller now....but wait for a couple track days to buy the ECU you should have bought in the first place.

Don't say cost. Because that makes the least sense.

 

I have taken part in a few local time attacks and autocrosses as well as millions of HPDE's. I think Redline and GTA made their way thru here and my friend won the one at Road Atlanta. It sucks I missed Redline
