Goodhart's budget beater 1g

[goodhart]

Mods the shell came with:

Shaved/tucked engine bay (w/ fuse box relocated to stock SMIC location)
Hypercoil AWD lowering springs on stock struts
2g AWD dual piston front brakes
Rewired Walbro 255hp fuel pump

Ahh, I can see all the firewall holes are welded up. That's one of my winter projects as well.

[turbotalon1g]

dat shell!!!

I'm sad he got rid of it, I was hoping he would be making a comeback sometime soon

[goodhart]

He's got a stock red 2g now and still has that white 1g awd that got passed around a bit after Bryan Rabe got it from some dude in Carolina off NABR. The 1g has all the old parts from this thing in it.

Looks good! Sorry I wasn't able to help out

Those 2g wheels have some fuzion tires or something?

[turbotalon1g]

Oh yeah, I forgot about that shell.
Well congrats to you!

[mdost03]

Curious, pm me about wheels?

[goodhart]

They do brad! Still good tread too! They are off your 2g aren't they?

[Halon]

Nice shell.

[goodhart]

Small update. Picked up a few things for it last week. 2g head, has a couple casting flaws I think, I'll have to see what the machine shop thinks, it's straight as an arrow, comes out flat to .002" so It's a great candidate.

Also got some Evo VIII valve springs and retainers from an NTEC guy down by Kracka. And a perrin air filter from EvoTuna

[turbotalon1g]

This thing gonna roll this spring?

[goodhart]

idk, engine is making slow process, the harness is not. I'll either need a turbo engine harness or use my unhacked n/t one and add a knock sensor and resistor pack. Then mod it so it works with the relocated fuse box. Going to be a lot of work.

Update 1/20/14:


Shell came with a socketed Eprom. I found a chip with a stock tune minus fuel cut on it I got from SleepyDSM like 2 years ago. Popped that in there.



Brought in my head to a guy my brother knows, he gave me a killer deal for some good work. Did the oil port mod before I brought it in.



Picked up some Evo 8 valve springs.


Back from the machine shop, bling bling!


He even cleaned up the runners for me without even asking for no charge.


Put in my 3g lifters


Put in my new valve seals I got from JNZ on sale back in October


Putting the valvetrain together



Whoops, hand tools was too slow, electric impact was dead and the air tools were too much!


Installed my new fp hardware as well



Budget for the complete head including, machine work and parts: $195

Total for complete fresh goodhart stage 0 longblock from valve cover to oil pan including gaskets: $617

[asshanson]

Wow, hell of a steal on the build! Hope to see this thing running soon.
I love that FP stud kit, I had some threads nearly stripped and those things held awesome WAY better than the hardware store stuff I used for a couple years.

[evotuner]

Yeah goodhart its looking good. maybe with some luck it'll be on the spring cruise!

Nope, I'll be too busy with a new baby, SORT academy in May, and hopefully a new house. Lots going on this spring.

[turbotalon1g]

house ftw!

I am actually contemplating foregoing doing Evo stuff this spring and instead of using my bonus from work on that doing a lot of house stuff that I have been holding off on doing.

Car stuff is awesome, but house stuff is awesome too.

[goodhart]

Yea, there's a good chance this thing will get put on the back burner for a few months until we find/move in one. We are starting our search in March and hope to have one by the end of May.

[turbotalon1g]

I'm glad that I took a year off, but to be fair I wanted a house.
