Tell the world a little bit about your vehicle
I bought this car from the original owners as a daily driver in 2006. It came with a banged up passenger fender, and picked up a bashed in hood about 2 years later. It was filthy and the paint was faded. But the original D15B7 was well taken care of, which accounted for the 280,000 miles on the clock when I did the motor swap. That motor, in fact, is still alive and well running in an EG 4-door Sedan.
A replacement fender and hood, plus a lot of spit and polish really brought the exterior back to life.
Engine/Drivetrain Modifications:
Block:
- BAR'd 1994 GSR B18C1 engine, bored and stroked to 89x84.5 w/ Golden Eagle sleeves and an LS crank.
- Crower rods
Head:
- ported and polished GSR head by JG Engine Dynamics, later redone by DNR in Hayward, CA.
- Supertech valves, dual valve springs, and titanium retainers.
- Skunk2 Pro 1 cams
- Skunk2 adjustable cam gears
- Skunk2 Pro intake manifold, port matched to head and to BBK 70 ml throttle body
- DTR 4-2-1 header w/o cat routed through a custom 3" mandrel bent exhaust
- Comptech air intake and Icebox
Misc:
- Walbro 255lph fuel pump

I kept the A/C.
Transmission:

Running no cat, it made 217 WHP/153 TQ on a Dynapak 4000. Going back for a re-tune later soon.
