I know this guy with an 89 hf rex with b16 swap and his best 1/4 mile is a 15.2... talk about slow... b16 hf rex should be low 14's common.....

The b16 just wants to breath.. maybe that's what it is.

btw, it looks good man.. the intercooler is sweet.

horray it runs. seems to run perfect.

my oil lines leaked but i got that squared away right for now it seems.

i did something extremely stupid. i forgot to put a oil filter on. so i started the car... about 10 seconds later. it puked all of the oil all over my driveway. stupid me

170 170 170 170 compression
the rings seem to have seated really good. just looks like regular exhaust comin out of the turbo no oil. plugs look good too.

right now the car sounds like *** coming out of the turbo. kinda like beaus race car... *** j/k bo
no o/2 sensor now so i get a cell.

i honed the cyclinders real good. its really slow right now. no 02 sensor and the exhaust is just coming out of the turbo. i'm kinda worried casue i ran it for a couple mins with all the oil drained out of it. cause i forgot to put a oil filter on and it all went out the hole onto the gorund and i didn't notice it for a couple mins. but i think its fine. it was 50 weight if thats make a diff :P
