Hey everyone,

I decided I should be polite and sociable and post an official hello thread.

I moved back to MN in August after being in Colorado for college for 4 years. Found out about this board I think from MNSC.

I bought a 95 talon TSi FWD back in like october or november, it then proceeded to immediately crankwalk. It is now Jet's problem :D

I bought a 92 Talon TSi AWD in mid december. Great car, loving it and all of its problems and issues. I'm smart enough to have this car as my daily driver.

My project car is a 96 civic coupe. Its turbo'ed with a t3/t04e and is soon getting a partially filled block with forged internals, and many other goodies. Hoping to crack the 500hp mark with the ghetto reinforced block. We'll see, should be fun.

Ive met 2 people on the board so far, Jet and GSTauni. Seems like a cool group here, i'm definitely up for meeting people and seeing your sweet fast cool broken DSMs this summer :)

I'll try to get some pictures up tonight when I get home.

Like it says I am Tim. My Laser is no longer broken but it is slow, still 100% stock aside from the clutch. Hopefully make it a little quicker when taxes come and then when summer comes.

What are you using to reinforce the block? They make block guards that slide in there with holes pre-drilled for coolant passages.

Maybe I should turbo the CRV. That would be a hell of a headturner on the highway!!!!

your crv has a B20... not really known to be able to hold much boost unfortunately.

I'm filling it with either moroso block filler or devcon epoxy, havent decided yet. Proven to be much easier and mroe effective than block guards. I just drill my own coolant holes.

I know it has a B20. If I did it, I would go B16 head with kinda the same deal you're doing with the partial fill.

I also thought about a JR supercharger with the B16 head. But more than likely this one won't get any modifications. I might buy a project car this summer and go wild. Not sure yet. Build an insane rallycross car.
