come on down to portland and look! haha its not much to look at right now...but its coming along

 

Looks good Nick!

 

I'll be in Oregon this june i think

 

HeHe... I love the single cam lil' setup...

Me, with the DOHC 2.0 turbocharged JDM fun... Think I've found the car too... 500 bucks! (I'll have to start my own non-scion build thread) - Good Ol' Scionlife. I have to get my total post count up more! I need 5500!

 

scionlife is the BEST car forum around. honda-tech.com is full of haters and people who think they are better than everyone else. no on eis helpful and their search function is TERRIBLE.....

 

looking good man

 

mini-me = d series SOHC non v-tech block (in this case d15b7) + d series SOHC v-tech head (in this case d16z6). end result... higher compression and v-tech... why do this and not just buy a d series motor w/ v-tech??? frankly we are going to have a prime motor with a bunch of new parts for hundreds cheaper than if we bought a z6 out right. and we will see way better gains from boost... yay for compression. end compression is gonna be upwards of 11 to 1. so we are fortifying a few places in prep for the turbo before we put the motor in. and as far as running it on e85 is concerned. that will probably come with the turbo as e85 is equivalent to 105 octane unleaded gas as far as its resistance to detonation. so that is how we are going to counter the high compression and boost.

 

^ummm, what he said.

 

yay! he explained it haha. after i hear it 3 or 4 more times ill be able to explain it haha.

 

I so wanna go for a ride in this when done.......wish i had money and a garge to make a toy to play with.

 

Amen Brian! Having a garage is the best thing ever! I don't think I'll be able to live without one ever again, especially not married to this guy.

 

i wish i had my own garage too...instead im stuck using my parent garage...sigh

 

looking clean man.

 

looks great mani just read every page cant wait to see more

 

ordered new valves today... just stock replacements. Next on the list is a cam. not sure what i want to go with yet. i want something fairly agressive since i wont be doing too much street driving.

 

I had a '92 VX w/ the d15 block w/ the d16 head & chipped ecu. Was fun until it went off of 405...

 

well last night we got the whole motor tore apart. off to the machine shop goes the block n head...






bucket of pistons anyone?

 

wish i knew how to do that kind of work

 

me too! im in the learning process...I watched and "assisted" erik in the taking apart of the motor. right now im sitting on a broken thumb...in two places so im more or less useless when it omes to...well anything haha.
