Hey HT, I figured its time to start a build thread. The shell is going to be a 1990 dx hatch that I got from a friend. I would like to have it finished by Import vs. Domestic. I'd like to run in true street. Shooting for 9s

Spec or Clutch Master clutch...not sure yet

I acquired D2s along the way and will be using them.

Still need a lot

I'm a tech at Toyota and daily a 8th gen.


The shell had a terrible wiring problem. I picked a fresh cabin harness and bought the Rywire budget harness. As it sits...



All the interior is gone. I picked a fresh black crx dash and teg leathers. More updates to come

 

Why even have a dash? haha. Just bolt a tunerview to the firewall on a piece of aluminum or something.

Good luck with it though. Definitely interested in seeing it. I've heard good things about the CSS.

 

Def. want a tunerview but I want to run SFWD next summer. Thought about cutting it...Just trying to keep it clean.
Thank you!


Haha Before


This arrived today



C.S.S.





B18c1 ...Machine shop fucked up the other GSR crank if anybody is looking for one, it's very fresh .30 needs to be milled to .50
I just didn't want to work with it





Everything used in this build was new



More to come...

 

That wiring... Looks like a nightmare.

 

I know what SFWD stands for, but no familiar with the specific rules.

That wiring looks god awful.

 

The rules are on OGS1320.com

DD










GSR, F23, LS












Not sure who on here is from VA, but this head is from Screecho?






Still Need-
Traction Bar
Stabilizer Bars
Energy Suspension Bushings
Cage
Kirkley
Fuel Setup
Turbo Setup
Fuel Cell
3 Piece Front End

I want paint...but it can wait. Spot welding the bay started a little bit ago. Pics if there are any...

Someone throw me parts and I'll put your sticker on my EF haha

MITFTW x GATObuilt
Cheers. More to come

 

GSR Insides






Manley/JE






Sneaky Preview of the Q45
Purchased via eBay

 

I like where this is going!!!

 

So clean!





CRX dash mock up
Quick rant
The hatch is pretty clean; minor rust (will be fixed)
OEM paint... Plans to repaint it the same color, but spice up the bay a little.
Hatch already has rear disk. Stopping power = Blanks with EBC pads and steel braided lines. Will be on 13x8 Diamond Racing Steelies with 24"s and skinnies.
FCS triple core for cooling unless funding supports a tucked radiator. Jegs 10 gallon fuel cell. FTW fuel will be used.

 

 

i like your si, but do advertise that you got hondata installed in the vehicle, ummmm, idk about that. Espec your dd.

 

INTERIOR:

Complete interior, including dashboard, door panels, headliner, etc. mandatory. Rear seat may be removed. Two front seats mandatory. Aftermarket seats permitted, but must be fully upholstered.

Found it, thanks. These are the rules I am familiar with, just never looked at the interior rules very much! LoL.

I'm still trying to decipher this myself.

 

Interesting, I'm on OGS' website right now and all it has is "ALL MOTOR" and "SWFD"... where are the rules for All Motor street?

I have a CSS block build going on right now as well. Jeff is a great guy to work with.

 

Never thought about that. The Hondata sticker has been on there 2 years? with no problems. Knock on wood! But Thank You.

It took me a sec. to get it as well. Hahaha
Wouldn't it be nice to just have a cluster and driver seat...

Always talking about CSS, I think it was a pretty good deal. I got the finishing work done by my local machine shop. It came decked already. Quick turn around time Not to familiar with rules...pretty much want a full race car with slight streetability. All motor street sounds like 10.5,11.5 index action. Which would be super fun...pretty sure you can be as light as you want WITH lexan and ****.

Block assembled!
Ring gap
Bearing clearances
Gato Built - MITFTW
















Head ready to be torqued down.
Block complete minus ATI damper!
More to come

 

1900lbs for B-series meng! Glass windshield and good to go.

 

Nice!







The wrinkly fender


Motor is pretty much done.
Turbo kit
Fuel
Cooling
Transmission
....sensors, s300, coil on plug (unless someone has an old motec setup they want to loan me)
With mock ups in between all of this of course.

 

Previous heart... B20vtec


Motor is done










Yes, it's a DX

 

Maybe tomorrow...bumper gets cut, take off the old exhaust, helicoil some fucked up bolt holes.
Turbo kit soon!

 

looks good man! I'm running the same intake setup, jg with the q45 and adapter. Def going to be a tight fit on the s372 and the top mount.

 

Thank you! Right now I'm actually looking more for a s366 if it'll meet my goals. I have to search more...
Any suggestions?

 

That was a turbo I was considering as well. hard to beat for the money. I don't think it will make 800 to the wheels, but more like 7-750hp. Still a lot of turbo for under $700. the fmw67 is another good choice, same power output as the s372 with a little better spool. same size though.
