HOTREX RETURNS......STEP ONE OF THE 400WHP BUILD. finished block *UPDATED*
 

WELL WELL WELL after about 6 months of "taking a break" from turbo hondas, i got that damn itch again. i started stumbling on sick deals, and i had some loot and went for it. since the deals were so good. i decided to shoot for 400whp on a 1500 dollar setup inlcuding the built motor and turbo kit. so far i am way below budget.

here she is, the filled b16a block. just got done pouring it.
the goods needed to fill your block, total cost, 40 dollars. ( i get the devcon for a sick discount through work)

Glad to hear you didn't bitch out on turbo ----.

Are you still with your girl? You're spending all this time making manifolds and preparing for your build, and I haven't heard you mention your girl in ages. What's the deal?

Re: HOTREX RETURNS......STEP ONE OF THE 400WHP BUILD. *PICS*
 

yeah, at 66% throttle and 4psi before it blows up

Re: HOTREX RETURNS......STEP ONE OF THE 400WHP BUILD. *PICS*
 

are you making a blockguard / closed deck? I havent seen anything like that, except from that guy on darksol.com a few years back that pured concrete(ms) into his block and said he was going to run methonol(ms). I never found out what happened to him.

are you gonna run with that setup daily?

this will be my weekend/track ripper.

this car is no longer my daily driver, with coolant holes drilled, it will not overheat, but i will be running 20-25 psi on her.
