any comments/complaints/help with my build would be greatly appreciated. I'm puttin ALL my other cars on hold to get this done. I'm currently on the saving stage but if anyone finds any good deals lemme know please.
couple pics
got the trunk stripped. I might leave it like that and spray it considering I probably won't be using it much.
took the wing off
:):):):):):):):)Got the motor torn apart and there was a HUGE glop of sludge dripping out of the pickup tube.... and I found out this motor's been rebuilt before with ACL bearings and ARP head studs... another thing this guy didn't tell me when I bought it. I found out why it wasn't getting compression though..
I've read on there that ring lands are the first thing to go on a stock turbo GSR build. Well I guess I've got proof. 3 out of the 4 pistons had broken ring lands.. Go figure. Do I see an Eagle/wiseco build coming???
picked up a B series T bracket & DOHC del Sol shift linkage ($160 shipped), and a 96 gsr transmission ($280)
a checklist for myself for what I still need/want:
clutch set
OBD1 VTEC gsr distributor
B series starter (not sure if they're all different)
axles and intermediate shaft
Hondata S300 with ecu with GSR basemap
B series Drop engineering motor mounts
and for the motor build:
Wiseco piston/eagle rod combo
ACL rod/main bearings
Block bored/honed/decked/cleaned/ and rotating assembly balanced
Head port & polished
Supertech valves and retainers
Cams (haven't decided what kind)
OEM full gasket set
Turbo kit
for the chassis
Chase bays master cylinder and prop valve relocation kit
OEM disc brake prop valve
body work and paint
rims
If anyone has good deals on any of these let me know and I'll budget for them. Thanks for lookin!!
