Updates will be slow right now since there's not a lot of money finding it's way to my pockets but I figured I could go ahead and start getting some things ready and start a build thread.
The plan as of right now is to do a high comp d15b7 on e85 but we'll see I may end up changing my mind. Now this is pretty much the ultimate goal by the end of next years racing season but I'll have it on the track before everything on the list is done so I can learn and make adjustments to the list as needed.
90 civic std hatch
Engine: d15b7
- deck the block .03, .04 off the head
- NPR 76mm pg6 pistons, clean up machine edges if there is any on them
- y8 mls head gasket, according to zeal the static cr will be 11.97:1 with all that
- z6 intake manifold cut open and blended/cleaned up
- good radius valve seat job possibly, maybe just a 3 angle at first
- clean up intake and exhaust ports, no porting unless it needs anti reversion step with the z6 manifold
- clean up combustion chambers, remove edges etc.
- port match the main bearings to the girdle oil ports
- clean up flash off the girdle for oil return improvement
- shot peen rods
- arp head studs and rod bolts
- thinking maybe a colt cam of some sort or delta 272 though I've seen some bad talk about delta
- oem retainers, isky valve springs, bronze guides
- old aem cam gear the solid kind I already have I never used
- oem seals, bearings, timing belt, water pump and such
Exhaust
- eBay header
- 2.5" exhaust with a PVC axel back setup, I'm hoping that works as well as Larry says, if will save some weight
- no cat
Tuning, fuel
- probably going to do a grassroots obd0 with turboedit or bre
- hulog
- rom burner
- aem (Lego my) uego wideband
- walbro 255 fuel pump
- cbr1000 injectors, from what I understand they're ~300cc with a good spray and they can be had for ~$30 on eBay with the throttle bodies which I'll save for later
Transmission/drivetrain
- either put a si final in my dx case or find a so trans whichever turns up cheaper
- rebuild kit with brass synchros, seals etc.
- replace 4th gear with a 4 speed 3rd gear, maybe use the 4 speed 4th as 5th too
- fidanza 7lb flywheel
- Exedy oem replacement clutch
- steel dual bend short shifter with extension up closer to steering wheel
- fix up the shifter slop
Wheels and tires
- cheapest 15 wheels I can find that aren't steelies
- Bridgestone re71r 205/50/15 tires
Suspension, chassis, cooling, and aero/body bits
- qa1 450lb front 550lb rear springs with cheap coil height adjusters
- koni yellows
- st 22mm front and rear sway bars, may find some oem ones to run at first
- poly master bushing kit of sorts minus trailing arm bushing, not 100% on what I'm going to use probably oem
- home made strut bars with no hinge points
- home made front air dam, side skirts, functional wing
- brake ducts, don't think I'll be overheating but it can't hurt to have and should help extend life of brake/hub components
- gt500 heat extractor, I'm glad someone on hear did this I love how it looks and it works
- put the car on a diet
- rust mort, od green tractor paint
- maybe some lexan windows
- da integra radiator
- oil cooler
Safety, miscellaneous
- bolt in roll bar from a buddy who's going weld in
- g force harnesses
- f1 spec driver seat, some other cheap seat for passenger that's wider so instructors will fit
- seat back braces
- oil pressure, oil temp, water temp gauges
Keep in mind this build is going to take a decent while and I plan to try to get most all this either on sale, used, or player deals so it will take some time.
