Got a new car, ready to boost the bitch 56k die
 

1998 Integra LS, black w/ tan interior. No Ac/Power steering. Skunk2 Drag coilovers. It's a Florida car, so no rust or anything. Got the bitch for 1500 bucks, complete car minus tranny and a blown engine. Also got a B16 head (no cam caps :-\) and a bunch of other ----.

Washed about 3 years worth of dirt/dust from it. it's been sitting since 2001

Fart can... Eh, it'll be gone in no time. What does a 2.5" Magnaflow exhaust sell for????

Attachment 34191

Decent interior

Here's the new motor, while the old one is being sleeved and rebuilt (yup, sleeves ;))

Attachment 34193

GSR tranny w/ about 63k miles on it

Cleaning the garage. Yes, an intercooler is a tool, and yes my garage is sponsered by Craftsman ;)

Attachment 34195

Should I use this .48/.42 T3?

Attachment 34196

How about this Holset H1C?

This is why the bitch blew up in the first place. SRP 12.5:1 compression pistons w/ a b16 head. He told me it ran mint on 87 octane ::)

That is all. Hopefully I'll get the title and have this bitch boost in a few weeks.

nice find

how bad did it blow?

Re: Got a new car, ready to boost the bitch 56k die
 

Just a headgasket, I guess. I checked the block/head for any physical damage and couldn't find any. Head and block are still square too, so I don't know what the hell was going on. The guy I bought it from was kinda a joke (lots of "Racer X Motorsports" stickers over the car, baby blue interior pieces).

sweet i/c. where'd you get it? ;D Still doing the motor on thursday?

Re: Got a new car, ready to boost the bitch 56k die
 

only if my clutch/flywheel get here. They ship out tomorrow, so hopefully it'll get here quick.

good find

Re: Got a new car, ready to boost the bitch 56k die
 

Not bad for 1500. Another Holset'er. I can't wait to get my Holset and get it on my Z. I'd say take those pistons and get the tops machined off and just use them over again.

Re: Got a new car, ready to boost the bitch 56k die
 

Hm... not a bad idea. I'd be down with like 9.5:1 compression, which wouldn't be that bad at all. They're SRP pistons though, so I don't know if I really want to run them..
