nice new ride, what u have in store for it :) |
well in the short run, i'm looking for a jdm conversion then repaint it white or a magnesium gray. then probably tsx hid retrofit then long term build the gsr block then head with hondata s300 i'm shooting for 200whp - 240whp |
nice... my friends LX B18B w/ B16a head http://ser8.imgdump.net/images/01082...2c39969d13.jpg 15" slipstreams (Borrowed from EG) http://ser8.imgdump.net/images/01082...ff317447d8.jpg 17" 5zigen FN01R-C http://ser8.imgdump.net/images/01082...c4e8ed8d9a.jpg |
Funny that you sold your car to get a 10 year older car but I kinda want to do the same thing. If I could find a nice 98+ GSR with leather I'd prolly make the switch.. |
i traded in my 01 s10 for a 96 ls that i recently did a b20 swap in. only reason for the swap was a bad b18b. now that i have a spare i am starting to build it for boost. i am shooting for 500+whp. i want a 10 sec car, badly. so the vic gets paid off in april and then i double payments on the teg to get it paid. once both are paid (like a year) my wifes gets a new car and i take the vic for the DD and strip the teg for a cage and drop in the motor i am building with boost |
I had a 98" GSR that got stolen and stiped. I made $5000 on it so I wasnt to upset. |

Second, my gsr handles better stock then my 7th gen did with tein basics and rsx front and rear sway bars. I bought a car with both front and rear disk brakes, better handling and a faster engine for $5000. I did the math and i figured this was a better choice. Only thing i had left on my 7th gen was to do a kswap. I like building up cars anyways, i already swaped out the interior carpet with new carpet, rsx front leather seats and gsr rear leather. I still want to build my B. I would be happy at just 200whp. |

nice... my friends LX B18B w/ B16a head nice car, you probably mean LS. Integra's didn't have a lx, but yeah i heard ls vtec can be pretty nice. I hope your buddy doesn't rev that thing past 7500rpm though without building the block first. Did he get a b16 tranny too? |
hey did u get my PM temjin? |

Ya 200whp would keep me happy as well. I would love my 7thgen if only it were faster and GETTING faster didn't cost so much.. |

that was my whole reasoning in buying the teg as well. i had 2 slow cars and couldnt stand it anymore. i was originally looking for an EG hatch but couldnt find one at the price i wanted so i opted for a newer teg. with the b20 swap alone this thing will torch my vic. that was my deciding factor not to do anymore performance mods and to de-mod the vic and concentrate on the teg. yeah everyone wants a eg now. i remember a few yrs ago, no one wanted a hatch. Then again, the stripped eg with a b18 has be done a lot. I think the teg is a better all around car with the stiffer chassis. Whose doing the engine work for your teg? I'm probably going to start by building my block after i finish my jdm conversion. |
Nice, but u better have lo jack on that thing if youre gonna put all that stuff into it. I wanted to get a teggy but those things are just so easy to steal its not even worth to own one. It sucks that theres so many thieves out here!!! |
any car can be stolen.. all it takes is a flat bed. Lo jack is only good for finding your car after they stripped it. I did the basics though..alarm, cut off switch. |

I'm probably going to start by building my block after i finish my jdm conversion. i want to run you now though. i havent had a chance to line up with a gsr yet. i think i should be right with you if not a little behind in the top end. but bottome end grunt is my specialty. i embaressed a late 90's volvo turbo the other day. i was spinning through 1st and into 2nd and finally caught traction in the top on 2nd and left in the dust. i still want to install the LS cams but i dont know if i want to bother since i am building the LS block. i actually want to do a vtec head on the b20 then eventually after the LS is done swap the head over after some work and drop her in. i just know its going to be a while before the built motor is done and ready to drop in and i really want 200whp N/A lightly modded motor to play with as well |
Nice I like the paint |
tegs rule. i wasnt fortunate enough to pick one up in good shape. i think you saw my thread. its pretty sorry. i pulled the b18a the other day and sold the bottom end for 3 bills, turned around that afternoon and picked up a b18b with head minus rods and pistons for 150. im gonna sleeve it to 84mm so i can have a b20 stamped b18b. im doin a b16 head with turbo and nitrous. im shootin for well over 600whp. im havin a2z balance and assemble my bottom end and im shootin for excess of 9k revs. if i make 700whp ill be happy. i had a built gsr 2.0 go almost 800whp boosted with spray. |
pics?/ dyno sheets!! not sying i dont believe but they are rare to see that high of figures with out a few sponsors. its expensive to get them that high!! i say 500whp conservatively. i am doing the same build up--b18b sleeved to 84mm bore with stock cryo'd crank, pauter rods and cp pistons with built b16a head, cams, Im, the hole bit. but why list so many parts if i am not that close yet. |
Nice. I had a '00 LS Sedan. It was a sweet ride until I had to trade it in for my '01 Civic EX. I guess that's kind of downgrading even though the Civic was newer and a manual. |
yup. it is expensive. what else you gonna spend money on after the bills are paid? let it sit in a bank? dont think so. ive got good buddies at the machine shop so that helps a lot. i should be 700whp by the end of 2007. it took 2 years to save and build my 2.0 gsr to make almost 800. ive got a b20 layin in the garage i thought about building but i want my block stamped b18. i might build the b20 next year if it isnt locked up or i dont sell it for this build. im not going to spent 1 red cent on anything but the motor until its done. then ill start with my cage and interior. |

cant you hook up a laptop to that screen? |
i had 7 project cars and 2 trucks i was building last year. i started to redo my lawn which i never finished. i need to paint my house. sometimes i wish i was 17 or 18 again. im trying to get rid of all my previous projects and parts cars to fund this build. i dont want to put any "worked for" money in it. ive got motots out the ass and ive never going to use them. ive got a fresh b20 sittin in a totalled crv i was going to do an awd hatch with. one of those never finished deals. |
i'll run if you want. But my car has 163,000 miles on it, so its probably lost a lot of compression over the years. I debating whether i should use seafoam to raise the compression or not. I've heard good and bad about it. |
