Well I have the flu, or something like it, so I decided to take a bunch of pictures. Starting with the motor, I'm not going to post like 200 angles of it like everyone else does, we all know what they look like, this is just to let you guys see what lies ahead for me, unless I die..... of waiting for the WTDR site, its sooo sloooow tonite

88mm GE sleeves/o-ring H23 (bead blasted, bored, and line bored by GE also) thats my C&R radiator hiding in the back

Every factory gasket ever needed, and rod bearings

Venom 550cc injectors, and BTW there's 8 of them, not 4...... you figure it out

Heres the moroso oil pan with my giant *** return line, had it before it blew up the 1st time.

And the Pistons/Rods...... JE pistons(wish I went with CP, didn't know they had any for the H23 at the time), Pauter Rods

ARP bolts and ACL mains- remeber these if you get align bored, I sure didn't and went and bought honda ones, which obviously won't work

Heres what its all going into..... what was once a perfectly fine gen 4 prelude, turned igloo

As for the turbo/manifold, I'm using a simple log one until I finish my other one, and the turbo is being made from a few different turbos, basically its a custom spec t66, not sure exactly, turbo john is still too busy to think it up, but it;ll be done soon......

And here's why I have 8 550's, not sure if I'm using it yet thou, I'm not that good at tuning this thing yet (other than SAE cars)


And here's my new parts truck/ daily driver

And lastly- here's the dog... 6months old


I'd like to thank Rob at GE for his help, and Mike at Motormatrix.com, --and myself, for spending all the money... finals end friday, so I should be able to get started on it this weekend, should be in the car.......god knows when

Well there you go, sickness and boredom at its best

 

damn, looks good. Are u gonna do anything to the head? Also where did u get your pistons and your arp studs from and how much?

 

Thanks for the compliment, the head is being ported and polished by turbo johns nephew, my best friend since kindergarten, also its getting new factory springs with heat treatment, and new factory retainers, the stock valves have been recut and swil polished...... the studs I got from lightning motor sports for 115$ and the pistons I got from Golden Eagle for 500$.... i reccommend just buying pistons from GE, if they are sleeving your block, they can get whatever brand you want, and they'll use them to bore your block

You my friend are a real **********

It looks like you did your homework, good job

 

O me I

 

Looks great! Hope you feel better

 

did you find a gasket somewhere or did you buy it in pieces and how much was it

 

Anthony- Thank you Thank you-- I'll be here all week HA!, seriously thou, as much as I have to learn with that thing, I doubt i'll make a better MAP than a hondata for some time........

Noble4ws:: The gaskets I got right from the dealer, the bottom end was fairly cheap, like 90 bucks........ the top end however, that was like 250$ its well worth it thou, there's so many gaskets you may forget one, so grabbing the kits is easier

 

nice setup

 

Nice...good to see another h23 boostin it up. I just came home from my finals......so nice to drive my baby again

Too bad the roads here suck too.......damn snow.

 

Nice set up man good luck with it! Cool dog by the way too, labs are the best, I used to have a black one.

 

Nice setup! Those Pauters look sweet...

What made you go w/ an o-ringed block?

 

Planning on serious boost with a big turbo..... o-rings were recommended by turbo john and several others, even thou john wants me to run with and without? So we'll see, i personally just want to leave them on, otherwise i need a copper HG and all that other mess........ mainly I o-ringed because I'm worried about the HG at high boost levels

 

nice setup, did golden eagle get you the pauter rods also?

 

cute dog
