I wear stretchy pants
well you know what they say... going all motor is the expensive way to go slow
Now now, boost is only a turbo kit & piston sway away... These cams are supposidly amazing for boost. And yes, these are from ebay.

yeah but there is no feeling like all motor.
Yup, got them on ebay. Best price I could find.
$30 bucks or so
More updates! I have most of the needed parts and started assembling the motor. Whale dick intake:
Cleaned all of the bearing surfaces of the crank & block with brake cleaner and a lint free rag.
Dropped in new OEM main bearings and cleaned oil jets
Carefully setting the crank into place:
Got the main caps & block stiffener torqued to spec. The crank spins nicely. Clearances seem to be good.

And I started installing the rings. The nice thing about buying OEM is that no gapping is required I checked the gap for shits and it's perfect.
Aaaannnd I would have the bottom end completely assembled if it wasn't for a ring breaking I'm currently waiting on a new set to be dropped off at my desk

Sorry for bumping in late!! Great pics and looks like your build is coming along great!! I am doing a 5 lug CTR swap. I have a teg 1" master cylinder am I going to run into the same problem as you did with the line? BTW I got a 99 dx Hatch. I also went the route of upgrading discs w/ powerslots and I went with hawk pads and also new braided lines. Thanks. Great inspiration on the build!!

Looks excellent man. Really makes me want to take the time to do a tear down and rebuild, if only for the learning experience.
It's definitely a learning experience. I read through the FSM several times before getting into it & I still manage to fuck up. Today I ruined the last rod bearing I was installing. Now I get to wait another 2 days to get this thing together.
Which teg 1" master cyl is it? Mine is from an ABS gsr sedan. I had to custom bend 2 lines and do some flaring. One of the flared joints has a tiny tiny seep in it. The intention is to re-do that entire line while the engine is out.
