kevin. it costed about 1/3 the price to build this b16a. i got good deals, and i sold the gsr block to cover cost.

honestly, your opinion means ---- to me.
its THE LOW COST of all of this, thats the reason for everything i have here.

if i had to pay full price for any of it, i wouldnt even be doing another build. this build is mainly just to showcase all of my own work. the motor will be assembled by myself, as well as all the rest of the fab work, maniold intake manifold, traction bars, ect.

so far into this whole proposition, motor and turbo kit, including the longblock, i think im at about 1400.

all i need is a set of piston rings. and i have everything to get this motor together and turbo it.

THATS THE WHOLE POINT to make a run at 400whp for so damn cheap. most people couldnt even get a turbo kit together that cheap. with good components and a good snail.

it's a waste imo, stock sleeves have held over 650whp quite a few times, so 400-500 isn't ---- on stock sleeves. if the sleeve is going to crack, i guarantee the block filler will not stop it or even slow it down. all it will do is hender the flow of coolant if anything.

I can't wait till this is done....someone is going to be eating their words, I don't know who, but it's gonna get ugly when this is all done.

yeah, because a semi built b16 is the sickest thing on the planet >:D

Re: HOTREX b16a build parts sneek peek.... *pics
 

better than a stock block gsr.......

Re: HOTREX b16a build parts sneek peek.... *pics
 

For $1400 this is a dam good setup. I know that i don't have anything better for the cost.

Did you fill and drill out the block yourself with that aluminum block filler?

Re: HOTREX b16a build parts sneek peek.... *pics
