My names Josh, i'm 19, and here is my story. I've deleted all the previous stuff for the viewers to make it easier to see. This is my Turbo build. 1996 VSM EK Hatch, 99-00 Front & Rear Conversion. B18C powered.
This is how i got the car.
It then went under a long process of the JDM B18C Swap, and a built head.
Well that setup spun a rod and this is where we are now. This is copied from another forum
I've bought some stuff for the car while its been down. Spoon replica mirrors/duckbill, CTR replica headlights, Beaks tie bar, A new steering wheel since my had broke,and ITR replica seats. Yes i know i should have gotten the real ****, when i really dont care as all of my money has gone into the important part.
Well i've gotten all the stuff for the entire long block assembly. The transmission was hurt with alot of grinding, esp in second gear. So i took it to pls5525. I had him replace second gear, install Synchrotech carbon synchros, MFactory LSD, 4.2 Final Drive, and all new bearings/seals.
I decided this would be a damn near drag car more than anything, that will still be DD'd. For the clutch i went with the Competition twin disc. I kept my GSR bottom end, and replaced the crank with an LS crank. I'm running Manley I-beam rods, CP 9.8:1 pistons, ARP main bolts, Darton sleeves, ACL race bearings, and a Cometic 81.5mm headgasket. The head remained the same valvetrain wise, instead i'm running Blox Type B's, and a OEM Vtec Killer setup. Head also is getting fully ported along with a Victor X intake manifold, and Omni 70mm throttle body, and all the other bells and whistles.
OEM Vtec Killer Setup
Blocks done from the machine shop!
Now we are all up to date. Clutch had been on back order all month, but should be here soon. Motor will be finished next week. Now i need some more funds for Mounts, Injectors, Fuel pump, and my Go autoworks TM 62mm Kit!!
