The new project begins.
I haven't posted much on this forum before, but here's to some new beginnings.
So a bit on the background before we head straight into everything:
Bought the car last Friday (9-11-09) from a guy who's on the forum.
There's quite some done to it right now, and the engine upgrades aren't going to go too much further other than internal work and machining.
And now I'll get one with it:
ACT 2600 clutch with street disc
255 LPH fuel pump
Small 16G
550s
Greddy Type S
3" exhaust
2G MAF
DSMLink
KYB GR2 struts
Lowering springs (don't know brand)
New tie rod ends
New front brakes
New front axles
Redline fluid in transmission
solid shifter bushings
emissions removed
2G injector clips
new coolant hoses
2G TB elbow
new plug wires
Auto Meter Phantom boost gauge
There's an FMIC kit that he tossed in as well that needs to be put in. Going to wait on that until I actually get some time to do it.
I'll be picking up a wideband soon enough to get some tuning on it and get some more potential horsepower.
I'll post some pictures up later of the body and the engine (512 MB RAM, 1.2 GHz Pent. 3. FAIL)
The goals I have for it, not shooting for a horsepower goal or a 1/4 goal, just shooting for a good build that I'm happy with.
Engine:
Forged pistons
P&P head
1MM valves
Dual springs
Titanium retainers
Cams (though not sure on what I'd like to go with 264/264 maybe?)
Lightweight pulleys
Wire tuck
Drivetrain:
Lighter flywheel (any recommendations?)
4 bolt rear end
Shep/TRE rebuild kit with taller 5th
Brakes:
Slotted rotors front and rear
3/S calipers
Body (here's where the money comes in):
Paint job to stock
Rust taken care of (not too much actually)
Rear wing clips
Passenger side fender
Front bumper
So, that's the basis of the build.
Not too much engine work to be done at all. Sticking with the small 16G, though I might later on upgrade to a Big 16G, but depending on the lag, an EVO 3 16G might take the B16G's place.
