so i will start off by saying that im sorry if some of this doent make sence im going to be cut and pasteing it from another forum to save me some time.
it's now boosted
well i have almost all my parts for a turbo build so i figured i'd start a build thread. i have a new computer so i dont have to many older pics but i'll try to start at the begining.
in nov. 07 i bought a cx hatchie with a wonderful d15b8 in it, soon after purchase i started noticing the temp going up and some funny idol problems. i had a spare b7 head lying around so i figured i do a head swap and get 30 extra ponies. well turns out there are three snapped head bolts, to top it off the easy out snapped off in the block doing the last hole. thats when that block got stripped down for spare parts and went to the trash can.
so i took my perfectly good 4dr and ripped its heart out
^^^^^my buddy matt has helped me out alot w/ this project.
then put it in the hatch
some goodies for the new motor
also at autozone i noticed that the code for d16z6 and d15b7 valves were the same. so in place of the old worn out ones in the d15 got a skunk2 upgrade(exhaust side fit intake didnt, so all new oem's went on the intake side or it may have been the other way around not sure)
