Don't think ive ever had a build thread on HMT, so here is the latest project. Hopefully it will be finished in a month or so.
Picked up an '88 DX hatch from a member on d-series 2 weekends ago, got a pretty good deal on it. Only real drag is the 8hrs round trip I had to make to get it, no biggie though. He threw in a obd0-obd1 mpfi conversion harness, so I couldnt pass up the deal. I paid $400 cash and a small trade for it.

As far as what motor is going into it...I'll be re-building my rod/piston a6 and transplanting it into the hatch along with the turbo kit from the CRX.
Motor is an a6 that I picked up locally. Guy said that it had a slight knock, and it turns out the #2 bearing was toast, but hadn't spun. rod was fine, and crank looked like it could be re-used no problem...but I'll be using the crank out of the last build just to be sure.
When I tore it down, still had crosshatch marks from the factory....with 250k on the clock

Today I got the bottom end assembled. Rings filed and all bearings plastigauged. New main bearings, but I'll be re-using the rod bearings because they still look perfect and I know the clearances are good.
All in all, I got the bottom end all assembled, rear main seal bolted on, water pump and oil pump bolted up, and oil pickup installed. Need to pull the engine out of the CRX so I can pull the head and oil pan and complete the assembly.
Plastigauging the mains

so whats the story for a turbo setup here?
-
lol, just got my brother's Cherokee out of my shop Thurs, so Ill be working on swappage this week and next weekend. This weekend I cleaned the shit out of the shop getting it ready.
Went to hand in all my paperwork for the title to the hatch Fri, so its finally registered in my name and title is on the way :noel:
plans for the hatch?
(all of this shit i have, just needs to be swapped out of the CRX and into the hatch)
a6 block
TT i-beams
SRP 75.5mm pistons
stock port a6 head
Delta 272
Blox IM
62mm TB
cable SI trans with OBX LSD and .702 5th gear
Competition Clutch stg4 6 puck sprung
JKMotorsports traction bar
my same old ghetto mini-ram if it will fit the new turbo
HX35 with 12cm exhaust
3" DP
3" exhaust
blah blah blah, same old HMT kit everyone has beyond that
obd1 conversion
chipped p06
Crome or ECtune, havent decided....probably Crome to start and then down the road switch
750cc injectors
3bar map in stock housing
CRX went 12.87 @ 109 with the same engine/trans setup but smaller turbo. boost wasnt stable(bounced from 16-21 the whole time), and i broke the 2-3 shift fork on my fastest run...so there was definitely more in it. with a bigger turbo and more boost, it should have even more yet
