HomemadeTurbo - DIY Turbo Forum - The most rusted car (BLOWN MOTOR PICS IN FIRST POST)...

*UPDATED*
Instead of creating another thread I'll add onto this one. My isp blew up a fiber box so I was running at 28.8k for the past few days so I couldn't upload pics until today when they fixed it.

Here are some pics of the motor I blew up, more rust in the rear of my car, shots of the cutting and rewelding of my car and a pic of the world's largest rearview mirror...

My next set of pics will be of the motor in the hf, but that'll be in a week or two. I am taking my time with this swap.

Well it was time to retire my 86 crx.
I bought this car about 4 years ago for $100 from my cousin's boyfriend. I had no idea what I was buying. I had two 85 civic dx's but never a crx or something that was fuel injected. I bought the car and drove it home. I drove it for a week or two when a friend told me an 86 teg drivetrain drops right in.

I found an 86 teg for $300 and swapped the drivetrain in my crx. I had no idea what I was doing and it didnt' run right till a few weeks later when I realized i had to do some wiring changes. :-\

I bought another si for $50 and swapped some exterior parts over as you can see in this pic:

The motor developed a slight knock considering it had over 200k miles on it:

The d16a1 developed a slight knock and I wanted a zc so me and a friend hopped in my van on friday after work, headed up to Toronto and picked up a zc. We drove it home and installed in my car and had it running by Sunday night so I could drive it to work on Monday morning.

The zc just couldn't cut it for me so I put together a HMT kit. It lasted for a while when I got a little greedy with the boost at the track and blew some ringland in the zc. Then I decided to purchase a sleeved d16a1 and some rollerwaves and some eagle rods from a memeber on this site (B16destroyer). I had the lower end assembled and i did the rest with the zc head and all the rest. This is the same motor I have today.

Well as most everyone already knows my car has a 'little' rust problem. :P

A friend of mine was selling an hf already converted to FI and had a d16a1 in it with a bad rod knock. I took care of the rod knock when i drove it to my garage 55 miles ;)

Well, today I stripped down my 86 si to the bare shell because I am dropping the built d16a1 with zc head in my hf. FYI a crx can fit in dumpster :'( :
