HOTREX RETURNS......STEP ONE OF THE 400WHP BUILD. finished block *UPDATED*
WELL WELL WELL after about 6 months of "taking a break" from turbo hondas, i got that damn itch again. i started stumbling on sick deals, and i had some loot and went for it. since the deals were so good. i decided to shoot for 400whp on a 1500 dollar setup inlcuding the built motor and turbo kit. so far i am way below budget.
here she is, the filled b16a block. just got done pouring it.
the goods needed to fill your block, total cost, 40 dollars. ( i get the devcon for a sick discount through work)
motor on stand, leveled to perfection, cleaned, sanded and ready for salt.
look at the precision leveling products., yup thats the haynes Xtreme civic manual...
thats about all its good for, that and a good laugh
the salt poured and meausred using my mad sicc hacksaw blade.
and last but not least, just about a full pound of devcon later, the finished product. tomorrow i will update with the coolant holes drilled and the salt flushed.
here she is, drilled my coolant passages and flushed out the salt. overall id say it came out mint.

Glad to hear you didn't bitch out on turbo ----.
Are you still with your girl? You're spending all this time making manifolds and preparing for your build, and I haven't heard you mention your girl in ages. What's the deal?

are you making a blockguard / closed deck? I havent seen anything like that, except from that guy on darksol.com a few years back that pured concrete(ms) into his block and said he was going to run methonol(ms). I never found out what happened to him.
are you gonna run with that setup daily?

this will be my weekend/track ripper.
this car is no longer my daily driver, with coolant holes drilled, it will not overheat, but i will be running 20-25 psi on her.
