sweet build.

i had a tb25 on my d16z6 from a pontiac sunbird gt, the turbo looked different than that but it had a .48 compressor housing and was a standard t25g flange (sr20)

the wastegate was set at 2.5 psi stock and with a boost controller my car would only make around 10 lbs of boost and drop off to 5 at higher rpms :(

i dont know how close the saab tb25 is but the sunbird one sucks balls.

this is what i had.

i would look for something like a 14b...larger yet still cheap and nice spool up.

Im hoping a few other people chime in as well with some ideas as to what turbo to use.. I don't want a lag monster , but I would like enough to go mid 12's...

A cheap eBay t3/t4 50 trim would be perfect for your budget.

This is pretty cool. When do you have to have the car complete by? Makes me wonder if i could actually do this... If you tune the car yourself do you create receipts for it? I know they prolly want receipts for the chip and zif socket.

What happens when people give you used parts for free?

I need to check out the rules and talk to some of my friends back home.

Has to be ready for Oct 23rd...

I want mine going for may 23rd our clubs lapping day so i can drive it for the season (lapping and autocross)

I am gonna tune t myself , I have a Lm1 wideband and some friends willing to lend a hand

U have to keep a reciept of everything you buy. Paint , supplies ect.

Im fortunate in that I paid a legit $100 for my car , then I sold the stereo in the car for $100.. YOu can recoup up to %100 of the car , up to $1004

Man i hate people who tear up si ef hatch's. I have wanted one for so long, and there are only two in the area around me and both want about 3 grand for theres, and they aren't even that good of condition. Please please please don't ---- that car up and be a fag.

Re: Grassroots-motorsports $2008 Civic Si Build 56K no way
 

how am i ""fag"" taking a car that would have been taken to the wreckers and dumping 2 grand in it to compete in a competition ?? How is the car fucked up?? I took out the interior which was eaten to rat ----..


the car has a ------ $200 paint job , the rockers have been replaced by some ------ tool who didn't know what the ---- he was doing the suspension was shot...

So if by being a fag you mean

Koni's
coilovers
Poly
d16Z6 turbo'd
new paint
rockers
Sparco seat
Roll bar
Integra brakes
vitara's
TT rods
hoosiers

Then yes I am a giant fag... If the dealer would have kept it the car would be in the wreckers right now with little rice a roni ---- tards picking it clean , or even better , maybe some kid would have bought it , put a giant wing on it and revved on everything in sight.. right now it's sitting in a garage with vettes and porsches ..geez... what a horrible fait.. someone who is compitent at building cars got ahold of it and did something that is in the true spirit of this forum..building a fast car on the cheap.

if you have NOTHING useful to contribute please stay the ---- outta the thread.

I don't care if you have wanted one since jesus was a cowboy. It's my ------ car and I will do with it what i please.. Like an 89 Civic is some sort of Jewel.. the canadian car market is smaller than that of Californias , so Im pretty sure if you opened your eyes you could find one..

I fyou are still kicking around the idea of what turbo to go with. Im gona say you should pick up a small 16g. You can push some good numbers out of them and the spool time is is pretty quick. you could easily push 20psi out of it.

Cam journal looks good to me.

Ask chris on here (hes a modarator) about port work, Ive heard hes the go-to guy when it comes to throttle bodys and porting intakes.

Re: Grassroots-motorsports $2008 Civic Si Build 56K no way
 

Some hoosiers... 13x10's... I have 4 of them , only need 2 if anyone is interested in picking some up cheap or wants to trade.
