NIce set up. How deep are you into this car?
Thanks bro.
By the time I'm done with the car with everything I've already spent and with what I'm about to spend. I will have approximately $30k in it after the interior is restored and the car is painted and all the motor/mechanical upgrades and changes are completed.
You have to be very dedicated to do a project like this.
This is 7 years in the making.
It all started with a D16Y8 long block from a junkyard with a junkyard turbo.
Once I felt boost from a car that I owned even if it was only 8lbs on a stock block with a ripped street tune I couldn't stop until I figured out the perfect setup I wanted.
After owning the B20Vtec I loved the torque it made. But the cylinder walls are so thin and couldn't put up with the abuse, heat, and the somewhat aggressive tune that was on it.
So from both those prior experiences led me to build a 2.0 liter GSR/B16 high flowing head. So I've got the sleeved gsr block for longevity and strength, manely turbo tuff rods and 10:1 cp pistons, polished gsr crank, and upgraded everything so that I can make almost as much power as I want on the street and not have to worry about it. I kept the B16 head because it has a bigger combustion chamber, once its fully built with a 5 angle valve job, ss ferrera competition plus valves, lma's and pro 1 cams and ect it will flow a lot of air. I'm also buying a skunk2 ultra race 5.5L intake manifold, plenum spacer, throttle body spacer and 90mm throttle body which is going to be cnc pnp and cnc port matched to my B16 head.
2 main reasons for why I built it this way. 1 so I can beat on it and have fun without much stress and 2 because with the way I am building it I will be able to make more power on less boost which will put less stress overall on the motor. I wanted to build it right and build it once.
Victory is going to cnc the block, line hone the mains, put arp main studs in, arp head studs in, cnc pnp the head.
Its going to be a lot of fun once its done. I believe the 6266 ballbearing turbo which I am ceramic coating and chroming the inlet side will be a great match for my setup and for the street.
Btw I am also buying a competition clutch twin disc setup as well. I've read a lot of good reviews on it.
However I'm wondering if I should buy a carbon carbon but who knows.
Can't wait to post some pics and videos once it's complete.
Honda's are a great platform and have a lot of support and are relatively reasonable in price to build but to do it right it still isn't cheap.
But man am I excited.
