Figured my car is almost done so its time to post a thread.

here is my budget build

Bought this car from a rip off little car lot. I rear ended someone and long story short i got it back for free.

Was a cruiser for a while then got the urge to be able to merge on the freeway better. So i put a simple kit on it still retaining the ps and ac




Car made 180hp on 8 psi.

put it on e85 and raised the boost to 16psi... with 190k on it the motor spun every bearing in the motor.

so started the tear down


Picked up some eagles and some vitara pistons. A vato assembled the bottom end, block and girdle notched for the rods.




all together


Sold the old set up and started on one i could grow into
450hp intercooler, tial 50mm getting mounted


Tial 44mm gate


Picked up the big ugly holset he351


Modified the housing quite a bit to get it to work.

Here is how she is today almost done just need the downpipe made tomorrow and ill be back on the road






Bumper still fits


hoping for 400-450 on the stock head.
dont mind the dirty bay, will be cleaned when i bring it home

Daniel at boost junkyz did an amazing job with what I gave him.

Nice work..............















Where is the pr0n?

Fuck thats solid! Is that a twin scroll manifold?

[Rx7toCivic]

No just open.

Wanted to go with a t4 framed setup but this is what I could find for the money I wanted to spend.

[Dirty_Mech_Style]

ho-ly fuck.  its... everything that is awesome. 

[NoPistons!]

Shit's proper all sorts of bad ass!

Questions:

What are you going to do for oil drainage?  Pump of sorts?

What caused your bearing failure?  Bolts let go?  Shitty neglected oil?   Oil pump having trouble getting it up?

[Rx7toCivic]

Pump was old. Just good old lack of oil pressure.

The drain is fine, turbo is still above the top of the pan, it's about the angle of a handicap ramp.


All done for now. Need to clean out the bay, swap the 660's for 1000's when I grab a resistor box then make a dyno appointment.

A friend of mine that got his car dyno'ed at the same time i did the fail-boat, has a similar set-up. he has Z6 with eagles and wisecos, everything else being stock, with a he351cw on a log made over 400 at 21lb? on pump gas. you should be able to hit the bottom side of your goal easily, and I'm betting your set up with the manifold and front face will be far more efficient than his.

Looks good, post vids!

Yea I think it shouldn't be too hard. Just will take more than 21 psi. Retarded low compression with the vitaras and the z6 head.

What fuel? if you run e85 or race fuel it shouldn't be hard to at all.... just keep cranking the boost!

e85
and thats the plan

[NoPistons!]

I agree with more psi.  Stupid low compression means moar knock resistance. Rock the anti lag and gives no fucks.

Sweet up-pipe.

Was worried about spinning bearings in the same way you did.  Oil pump not being up to par.   Haven't heard any ill effects about shimming the pressure relief valve.  Might do that to mine on top of a swing door pan.   Every little bit helps.

[crxvtec91]

How much do you have into the manifold?

Is a non shimmed D oil pump sub-par and need shimmed for performance application?

port the pump leave the shim alone 

[Rx7toCivic]

Not so much as port as it is to radius the corners.

Ok, ill relay the message, I was asked not long ago...

I'd embed but on my phone.

Damn she moving good!

[Teg2boo]

It's sad that you stayed 3 seconds at 70, it would have been fast

[Rx7toCivic]

It's called wheel spin, are you one of those guys that shifts when the tires break loose then bog the next gear? Or don't know what it's like?

I'm more the kind of guy that have good tires and is gradual on the power I put on the wheel so I move forward and not standstill.

[bigdaddyvtec]

Tegtocnadianeh: Youre more lik the guy that has no idea what making enough power to need a real tiree is like, and then,, after getting a real tire still have the problem, because the fucker still makes too much power.


NOPisstons. Nice.

It's Rx7toCivic btw.

And I wasn't very serious in my post. I just replied to someone that didn't get my joke.

Your french is showing.

Dyno tomorrow. Boosting it till it passes 400

Well?

[Rx7toCivic]

367/300 then the intercooler cracked at 27 psi. fail
