Re:Current & Future project?
 
Well, currently I'm working on getting a Civic or CRX for a daily driver until college, at which point I will buy another car for daily driving, and take a CRX

http://crx2g.h-fans.cz/images/janice...ith_b18-01.jpg

and either build up a B or a D, not sure.. my mind changed daily. Boost is a must, but I want it to take the abuse of that, and I also want a nitrous kit (wet of course).

Also, I want to get a Nova, or a car of the like, and take a 350CI+ and supercharge it. I have access to most parts to do so, just don't have the car or the time.

Re:Current & Future project?
 
current is to just get all the ------- cars under my control to actually run right (a total of 3 volvos, 1 K5, 1 Tahoe, 1 Explorer, 1 GST, 1 Integra).. I think my main concern is to get the integra up and running and in good condition so I can sell the bitch to make head room for one of the other cars.

Future - I'm waiting for ultra megasquirt to get released so I can start converting my carb'd v8 projects to standalone fuel injection ;D

Current: Suzuki Vitara off road truck, G16B turbocharged with MegaSquirt'N'Spark. Currently doing some head repair but I hope to get it running again before the end of summer and see if I can't pull some 15 second runs on the drag strip.

Future: Undecided, it will just be RWD and turbocharged.

DA-MAX 08-19-2004 09:27 AM

much later future:
looking for an old school Chevelle or another classic Z(early 70s 240) for an SBC swap

OnYx 08-19-2004 10:39 AM

Re:Current & Future project?
 
there was a Z special edition or something like that at hte yard that was kinda interesting, was tempted toget it but nah

HondaTuner 08-19-2004 10:51 AM

Re:Current & Future project?
 
I saw a Z in Hot Rod magazine with a SBC.. It did really good 1/4 mile.. I think I'll go check to see what it did..

projekteg 08-19-2004 10:57 AM

Re:Current & Future project?
 
current project, boosted 00 si with stock b16
starting project, fully built b18 block for boosted ls/vtec in the above mentioned car (hope to have done by january)
future project, same car but want 10's and still street legal. (about 2 yrs.)

it's my daily driver now so i can't get too crazy, but once it's paid off, i'm buying a new truck and making this bitch a street legal trailer queen :-*

a black one right? yeah...thats thing is crazy, 700hp I think!!!! theres a vid where he loses traction in 3rd an starts fishtailing, thats power :o some of the guys over on hybridz.org have some SERIOUS V8 setups. I would have done the same, but the stock Nissan L28ET(which will be rebuilt) in this car has a lot of potential...and no V8 wiring nightmares!

juli0_bustamante 08-19-2004 12:14 PM

Re:Current & Future project?
 
current project:1990 civic 4 door...gotta get all the stupid cosmetic parts finished..turbo is done...

Re:Current & Future project?

ssl2k 08-19-2004 05:08 PM

Re:Current & Future project?
 
current: finish the bondo crx and ghetto paint it (real spray gun primer + rattle can basecoat + real spray gun clear coat) then finsih the turbo on it and run that and hopefully be low 14s on street tires + mid 13s on slicks.

future... 88 hf crx w/ d16z6 built...lookin for atleast 300whp with stock sleeves.

After/while that blows I'll build up either another d16 block or a ls/vtec to run atleast 25psi of boost.

Also, kind of a current project until I find another CRX is my 4dr civic that has the d15b2....going with the dpfi->mpfi swap + z6 head on it...prolly run it like that for a while then drop a small turbo kit on it.

should be lots of fun

Keeping the Eh2 running for a daily boosted work runner. Then finally install my GTIR SR20det into my 93 SE-R which has been sitting in my garage for the past 5 months. Then I wanna pick up a nice Festiva and drop a B6T(323 GTX) into it and mess around with that and further my car knowledge beyond Honda's. I want every car I own to be boosted! Oh yes... they will be boosted.

Re:Current & Future project?
 
damn you kevin #2, we have the same plans, built lsv. and we have the same current motor. I need to hurry and get my turbo on, then hurry and finish my LS block before you finish yours so I can be the winner.

customcoach 08-20-2004 02:48 PM

Re:Current & Future project?
 
91 Accord Turbo project.
91 Prelude Turbo project.
91 Civic hatch Turbo project.

I have accumulated a large colection of 91 model Hondas recently. I think I am going to do FMIC kits with piping for all of them and turbo manifolds that suport A/C. Look for them on the web site soon. I might do build ups on here.
