today... i got pissed. 

but here is some pics...



stock intercooler setup is a fuckin joke. rediciously long chargepipes, large oil cooler...err small intercooler. ehh. but there sure is some room for a front mount in there.




 



little pic of how close shit is, and how i plan on doing this.

today was just a mockup to see wtf im doing. had to...."trim" some shit to get this intercooler to fit, even with its small size 


also was going to swap fuel pumps, but the fuckin line wont come off the sender. 


some other shit pissing me off too. but im sure its cuz i hadnt eaten all day. but whatever.
 
 

[ratcityrex]

Looks good nig.

[turbohf]

got some new shoes....






16x7 Konig Feather's... jew cheap, of course, from a kid at work that wrecked his Accord. really light wheels. not as light as the stock ones tho.

also

when i was ordering something for my CRX turbo from the dealer i had them cut me a new key. i had a shit ass sheetmetal stamped out key from a locksmith. was weakness. OEM one is just about the same, one above was some number posted on the GVR4 forum. you can also see the keyfob number plate i stuck to the back of my alarm remote lol.



installed the SupraTT/Denso fuel pump a while back, along with the 680s and MAF-Translator. still no intercooler installed. been lazy with mounting the intercooler and finishing the pipes...

[flat_black]

my buddy bill has one of these.. its white.. and its a pile of shit... but it ran 12's

[jdmhatchracer94]

Damn

[HiProfile]

If I lived any closer I'd get a key blank, file it down to match the pic, then borrow the beast for a day.

[CSaddict]

My buddy has one of these sitting in his back yard. Actually I think he has 2, one is a parts car. I always wanted to get one but then just said fuck it and bought my WRX. Cool daily non the less!

[turbohf]

first off, YES I STILL OWN THIS lol. fuck im lazy/ADD...

this weekend i finally put the intercooler on. yeah i test fit it and hacked the car up some to get shit to fit. but when the day was done i still didnt think it was gonna fit well. (it didnt)

there where many setbacks, lots of procrastination, and just buying of other shit. this car ran and drove, so ehh. but it could use some more drivablity and boost. everytime it would go into boost it would freak out. im assuming cuz there was a boost leak somewhere.


anyway. me babbling again... here is the car porn...

complete shit that was on the GVR4. not sure it was all GVR4, might be some other DSM/EVO8/X shit lol.
only thing i kept off of it was the stock BOV. rest is new.


this was the hardest part. stupid ass AC lines and other shit all in the way. had to get creative. but its solid. turned out good.


was going to do one piece, but this seemed simpler to assemble. also the way i have seen others (ETS) do it.


oh yeah this thing. im running a MAF-Traslator 2.06 or something. uses a 3" GM MAF. and it works as a blow-thu setup.



should i be proud that im getting good with welding with the flux core? lol 


you can see the cold side pipe assembled. doesnt look like i took a test fit pic. the OEM BOV flange welded on.


i wanted to just chop that fucker off at the mounts. this was all ready pretty cut up when i got the car. was swapped from another GVR4...






oh yeah. this is all OEM....Honda. lol its a 151R battery. for Fit/Civic Hybrid's. its like a 51R, just 2-3in narrower. plus OEM Honda mounting shit....i work at Honda. also trimmed the battery tray. you can fit 2 of these batteries in the OEM try. this one tested out at 470cca when new. rated at like 340 or something.















money shot.


mean.


thats all 2.5-3" and flanges from Columbia Mandrel. Mishimoto/Innovative/Vibrant couplers, port matched 2g throttle elbow. stock GVR4/1gDSM BOV. K&N air filter. IndyRacecore/Spearco 2-216 intercooler (1g DSM 'race' short pipes intercooler).


think thats all....fuck off. 

[crxvtec91]

Fuck yea! I like what I see!

[turbohf]

BROKEN.

 

[Ntrain2k]

BROKEN.

 

Tranny?

[turbohf]

it has two dead holes.... appears to have burnt a couple valves?


buddy has a 2.4L motor (6bolt G4SC?) that he was building for one of his cars and has realized he doesnt need it lol. has offered it to me at cost, just needs assembled and then my head needs a couple valves....

he also knows of some 'HKS' 264/272 cams for deals along with an AEM...one of his buddies is parting a dsm, it might donate some 5lug....

still debating this. but think thats the plan right now....

I had a friend with a first gen 4wd talon, 2.4 stroker motor that could lay the back bumper on the ground from a stand still!

[turbohf]

yeah buddy put a 2.4 in his GF's car. it went 12.60s on tired ass 2.0 w/16g at lots of boost(28-30?). 12psi off the line(automatic), she said it felt slow. they put a heavy rod 2.4 in it. same 16g, like 16-17psi? NO LAUNCH, went 12.1 on the single shakedown pass lol.

he said its stupid fun. spins all 4 no problem. boost tappers off on top of course. says its kinda hard to handle with the 2.4 tq, and instant power delivery of the 16g.

hoping mine with the bigger turbo is more tame, but lays down more power.


anyway. gonna dig around, see what kinda money i have to spend. do my taxes with the quickness, and get this B18C build and swapped into my buddies car. then i can get started on 2.4 build and swap.


EKK24 is on hold until further notice.




 

[crxvtec91]

Having a few project cars is hard to fun at the same time.....

[turbohf]

well... yeah, but the EK got the push because i got the car. there really was no set plans to have it done anytime soon. i was gonna build the motor/tranny/turbokit and look for a chassis later. just happen to find the bulk of the shit asap lol.


the Galant....well it needed a 2.4L from the get go. along with real engine management. i think this is what killed the car. and what is killing it for me.

[turbohf]

B18C/EG runs great and is gone. made a couple more bucks to put towards the GVR4.

no real progress other than when i was looking for headstuds, i found a head lol. mild port, aftermarket springs/retainers (Si?) along with it being a known good working head, that mine isnt....and for pretty damn good deals. like less than what it would cost to come close to doing my head right lol. i personally would and still might just lap in some valves, replace seals, and call it a day.... this other way seems better cuz it has springs for cams later, and has "mild port"


i need to stay off the forums before i spend every paycheck for the next 6months.... 

[crxvtec91]

Do work!

[turbohf]

  FUCK  started snowing today... not gonna stick around. but got a tear from me. want the Galant on the road. shit the CRX in the heavy rain on the freeway isnt fun... 

trying to hustle some parts on CL. waiting for tax return (no kids) and getting paid... shooting for end of the month? or maybe mid Feb... shit that sounds like FOREVER....

I know the feeling im dieing to drive the crx!

[turbohf]

UPDATE.....fuckin nothing. dude is mia on the head. i need/want something to just slap on. i dont want downtime. cuz i have to leave the CRX outside, or push the fuckin all 3150lbs of the galant out of my driveway to get the CRX out.

oh, wait, i did get the special 94 Galant GS DOHC cam gears that line up right with the G4CS block with 4g63t head.
i bid on a boost controller on ebay. and sourced lots of the little shit i wanna buy. need to decided on a boost gauge and a wideband...


hate.

[turbohf]

ok this needs an update.... GVR4 is still sitting out on the street 


i got some parts rolling in tho...


i said something about needing different cam gears? well there they are. look like every other big ass mitsu cam gears... but these are for a 2.4 DOHC. so the timing marks are off by half a tooth each.
 


-Cometic MLS HG... .051"/1.3mm thick, 87mm bore.
-SS braided oil line kit. off the oil housings as they call it. this turbo, or high pressure turbos, whatever i guess like direct oil. suggested by DSM homie, and i think Forced performance the maker of my turbo.
-EGR blockoff. that apparently didnt come tagged with some shop name, cool.
-new timing belt. special one year only 94 Galant GS DOHC. jew closeout pricing..



think im jackin the TiAL 50mm bov that was for the EKK project...dont think its getting boost anymore...



i got some other parts coming still too.... like oh... a fuckin head?!?!



 

[turbohf]

ok so i got some more parts today 



head


dual springs


light porting


couple of ARP head studs


also im not sure how well this will picture...

but does that look like a rough surface? seems rougher than all the Honda shit i have ever done with a MLS headgasket...


thats all. might bring it to work tomorrow to clean up. might bring it to machine shop to get surfaced. want to get ahold of my buddy that suppose to be selling me the block, see whats up.
might do nothing...



 

[turbohf]

pics and shit...


balance shaft delete kit.



fresh surface for a MLS headgasket. my machine shop guy laughed, said the other finish wouldnt have worked at all.


rest of the head shit cleaned up


handful of gaskets/seals/orings. oil pump, oil fitler housing, water pump, egr (for my new blockoff plate), intake manifold gasket.


BRAND NEW oil pan. cuz mine has a fat ass dent. homo halfass fixed oil drain. and some Honda Ultra-FlangeII, its the shit we use at work for oil pans that dont use a gasket.


think thats it.


hope to pull the swap this weekend. get some of the parts over to my buddies place to put the rest of the bottom end together, and probably the head on it and shit. we will see...

no other pics really cuz i was working, now im tired and lazy... so i got the motor/swap out. not bad i guess for my first (only!) time doing this.
anyway. its out, and mostly torn down to longblock. i dont have an impact, so i cant get the crank gear or flywheel bolts out. so i cant get the pump off. might try a trick or two tomorrow. or bring the hole thing to my homies place and leave it there LOL.


looks like i need to order a clutch disc, and a couple of inner axle boots.   


might be picking up some ForcedPerformace FP2 cams (aka HKS 272/272s) tomorrow also?






 

[crxvtec91]

I hate working on those cars, more power to you!

[turbohf]

so there it is...
Hyundai G4CS 2.4L block. 86.5mm (6bolt)
Mitsu 100mm crank (6bolt)
Clevite77 bearings (all spec'ed)
Eagle rods (standard length)
Wiesco pistons (.045 P2W, dont remember rings, like .026 and .022... about 8.8:1CR)
 

left my new head there with gaskets. maybe he will throw it on. also gave him cash to get those FP2 cams.


got all the nasty DSM'ish goo covered everything in the back of the CRX to bring to work and tank/pressurewash/clean.
