Default Dasfincs 92 LS Powered CX Build thread

Figure I've really just been lurking, and selling stuff on here that I finally show what I have, and what I have in-store:

Some brief history:

Car was bought in 1992 brand new off the lot by my mother and father. Dad kept the car in their divorce in 97, He then got in trouble with IRS the IRS in 2006, and signed the car over to me so they wouldn't come after it, and because he 'promised' me the car when I was like 15 (well I'm turning 21 in a week, so he kinda took his time on that one since I already owned a 2007 ford focus, live on my own, and am engaged...)

Here she is when I first got it:



8 valves of Fury!


I then swapped to a D15B7 head, then I swapped to a D16Y8 head

D16Y8 goodness:



Got sick of having no torque, so I went and snagged this bad boy (1996 B18B1, $250 baby!):



In it goes!



Painted the intake tube black to be less ricey



Ditched the fart can:



and installed a cherry bomb turbo painted flat black



installed a GSR shift **** ontop of a B+M dual bend short shifter:



LX cluster with Tach



Here's mechanic kitty helping me and my friend drop the trans 2 weeks after the swap because the diff blew out:



some wider rubber/wheels:



and my fat-*** playing with a wire-wheel cleaning rust off of shift linkage:



Its been ALOTA fun, and I've ordered a few new goodies, so here's the mod list, and what is waiting to go on:

Mods:
1996 B18B1
1998 LS Trans
Hasport Motor mounts
Poly shifter bushings
tapped oil pan (blocked off for now )
B+M short shifter
B+M Fuel pressure regulator
Walbro 255lph Fuel Pump
Apexi VAFC1
AEM UEGO Wide-band O2
Cluster with Tach
Delsol seats (Best mod evar)

Turbo toys that have been ordered:
Intercooler
Intercooler piping
BOV
Turbo Mani

Car will be at the track for the first time NA on July 19th, I'll let everyone know how it does!

Pretty much

I'm aiming to get into the mid-high 15's since the car will be stripped out before hitting the track, i know its not a real screamer, but it ran an 18.5 with the D15B7 head so its worlds different.

I've cleaned it off since I took pics.

It had 3 headgasket failures and a radiator explode with the old D-series motors, made a HUGE mess each time.
