Time for a new build thread. I picked up a bone stock 96 4 door gsr for a good deal. Bought it from an older lady who had it 9 years, she was the second owner. I'm pretty sure she never even engaged vtec in this thing lol. This car is the perfect base for this build. I was originally looking for a clean EK coupe to build and had a couple deals fall through. When I saw this db8 I jumped on it. Its so refreshing to see a car that hasn't been messed with by some ricer kid lol. Goals are just a fun street car with a good power band and traction. Only looking to make ~350whp on a stock jdm gsr with arp headstuds. IMO this is a good amount of power for a street car, but not so much that it's constantly breaking. This isn't exactly going to be a daily driver, but it will see a lot of street time. I already ordered a jdm gsr swap from hmotorsonline with low miles so I'm going to swap that one in with arp headstuds. The original gsr is coming out and will be getting build after I get bored and want more power.

I will update as parts start showing up...

 

**** yea, get it son. One question, i cant remember what happen to the hatch. Did hou pop it or will that be racecar status

 

subbed!

 

Thanks man. Sold the hatch to a guy from Cali. It's still going strong and he drag races it on the weekends.

 

Wow, you came back quick haha
Aww yea integra time

 

Welcome back,
Looking forward to another no frills quality build!

 

Thanks guys. Updates coming soon.

Super clean sleeper chassis you've got there. Can't wait for updates

 

subbed

 

Nice car! I love the four door sleeper concept!

 

Thanks guys!

Some more parts showed up today. Vibrant 3" muffler, b-series k tuned shifter with IPG solid bushing, and plug & play adapters for my id1000cc injectors.

 

Motor is out. My engine hoist has a leaky cylinder so I had to drop the motor out the bottom. I've never done it this way before, it was kind of a pain as I had to do it alone lol.

Next I'm gonna pressure wash the engine bay and prep it for paint.

 

I always do it this way but I take the head and transmission off replace clutch, headgasket and arps anyway

 

Got the engine bay cleaned up and painted, also painted the underside of the hood. Next is the door jams. The whole car is going satin black (not flat), with super dark window tint.

 

Mac was nice enough send me send me pics of my hunter turbo before he shipped it out. Thanks again Mac! This turbo is going to be perfect for this build, I'm especially excited about the dual ball bearing part ;-)

 

What are the specs on this one?

 

sweet jesus thats a clean platform to start with.

 

These are the option we picked for the turbo. Basically it's good for the 300whp-460whp range.

-dual ball bearing chra
-.63ar t3 turbine housing
-to4e compressor cover
-high temp black coating

Mac would need to chime in for wheel measurements and details.

 

Nothing like starting with a clean slate!! Ready to see this come together!

 

More parts rolling in. I have a lot of work to do! Updates soon...

 

Baller

 

This thing looks even better in person



Oil feed line, oil restricter, and inline oil filter to protect that hunter turbo.



Skunk2 pro series in black



Front lower control arm bushings in



Ended up with skunk2 pro s2 full coilovers for a really good deal.




Painted my wheels black and mounted the new rubber. Toyo r888 in 225/50-15 up front and neogens out back.




And got the engine bay almost all the way back together.

 

Dang!
