heres what i started with. cracked block...basically garbage, got dirt cheap










I decided to get the kteller 3" mandrel bent catback w/ resonator. It was either this or thermal, and i fuigured that the S.S version of the kteller was the same thing minus paying 4 the thermal name.

pwr civic radiator to help keep things cool


garrett t3/04e 57 trim turbo


Almost complete s.s custom manifold.

Let me know what you guys think PEACE!!!

 

[GREENLANTERN]

Here some of the before and after body work.
I marked the entire b***h down on all the dings i could find, just to make sure that the b/s wouldnt




heres a after pic. They did a good job but missed a small ding on the drivers door lower left. You cant see it but i can. and its killing me slowly inside. Naw i cant complain 700 bux body and paint work


















almost there...


Heres a pic of my ride and my boys 290 whp cemented turbo sohc del sol w/ aem ems. Top mount intercooler, custom subaru top mount vent in hood carbon fiber hood. Its crazy..



damn this block could use some "head" hehe






Test fitting the crome w/ clear powder coated valve cover. I want the under hood theme to be clean. Like something out of the factory.

 

[GREENLANTERN]

To start off i removed my whole front clip so as to not risk scratching the paint. My mom loved the fact that for months the garage and basement turned into a honda/import shop warehouse.lol


Ahh the old d16y8 sohc custom turbo kit. you served me well and i learned alot building it


disconnected the harness and labled all the plugs for easier install.


UP YA GO!!!!






cleaning the single off...courtesy for the next owner. Hey you can see my 1st gen integra in the background in that pic!!! 200 bux u cant beat that.

[Shiznit]

sweet. good luck with teh build. what are your goals in terms of power?

 

[GREENLANTERN]

oh and i relocated the battery to the trunk...
mind you, besides the machining and balance of the block, and port work and spring assembly of the head i assembled everything on the engine myself. Including the swap. Low and behold...ALOT of forum reading, and Honda service manual purchases, countless hours after work and on the weekend of knuckle scrapping dirt under the nails work. (GOTTA LOVE IT) the "b'serious" project is in and running strong awaiting BOOOOOOOST, and track time.

very very nice numbers

 

[GREENLANTERN]

Car looks really good, I don't really like the eyelids though

funny u say that, some people feel the same way. But i like them...lol obviously. More or lees for the reasons that they sharpen the headlamps up a bit. w/o them they look to wide and round to me.
thanks for the replys though..keep them comin

 

[xdr3amx]

[Jezek]

[Vtec is O_O]

looking Gewd

 

[Destroy]

Awsome thread, yeah the eyelids are hurting the look but def got a nice setup going for the car. Click the link on my sig and keep us updated on the numbers

 

[joe7987]

very...very....very nice. I love it. I can't even say anything to you about those eyelids after all the work you put into that car.

Question: Approx how much did you spend on this whole project?

wow...the eyelids are a point deductor huh? lol I guess it could be worse. I havent really totaled it all up b/c it would make me feel bad and un responsible. But it dosent seem that expensive b/c i have been building it for alittle over a year now so every month i'd get a few key things till i just had 90% of eveything. right now the only thing i am missing is my chipped (w/ neptune) ECU, larger injectors (i have 580cc and meant to get 680cc) and weld the BOV flange onto my charge pipes, drain plug onto my oil pan, and construt my DP (3").

i can say that back in May when i bough the pistons, rods headgasket, headstuds ect for like 1500 and then got the block sleeve for 950 it hurt my wallet pretty bad.

good damn hearing myself do that small portion of math right there just hurt me...hope i dont blow it up.

Looks so sweet man.
