93 integra turbo build

[NAG2I]

UPDATE ON LAST PAGE
alright this has been my car for over 2 years
it was my first car
used to want to make it a autox car
then wanted to make it a big NA hp non-vtec monster
now it has come down to non-vtec boost
im gonna do this whole build as right as possible
i will be updating as much as possible, whenever i get things done
i got it started about a month ago buy purchasing a kit from an ia member
enough talking and on to the build

session 1:
alright here is how it sits at the begining(sorry pictures will get better)
http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r310/citynights10/DSCF0253.jpg
i was gonna test fit the intercooler and piping cause the piping that came with the kit it for a 94-01 gsr
so i was seeing if i was gonna be able to mod it to fit but i dont know if that will happen
http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r310/citynights10/DSCF0259.jpg
as you can see here it isnt anywhere close to being right
http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r310/citynights10/DSCF0268.jpg

[NAG2I]

updates this week

[b16ftw]

ohhh looks great man.

[GaGen2Teg]

you think the ls intercooler piping is different than the gsrs? i might get a kit but its for the 94-01 ls models.

[patrick4588]

you think the ls intercooler piping is different than the gsrs? i might get a kit but its for the 94-01 ls models.

the cold side piping is different because of the intake manifolds. also, some kits have bigger piping for the cold side on the gsr.

[GaGen2Teg]

ight

[NAG2I]

yep the gsr cold side piping is very diff

[GaGen2Teg]

but is the LS ones different

[NAG2I]

different from what?

[hmongxcuz]

COMING TOGETHER

[GaGen2Teg]

the cold side piping. i know that the intake manifolds from the LS are different than the gsrs who the cold side piping be different than?

[bRiAnMcIvIcS]

Sweet!

[NAG2I]

alright i know its been a while but i just starting making progress again
the block is finally torn apart and it will be getting bored and honed soon
ill be ordering some srp pistons any second
and i just ordered the intercooler piping
i just need to order bearings after i do all the measuring and that will be pretty much everything
i hope to have it running at the latest being like early january

[NAG2I]

alright i know its been a loooong time since i updated but i was waiting on the block to get done
so now i got it and everything to build it everything is going on the fast track.
i got the block back
it was blueprinted, balanced and honed to 81.5mm.
i was told it wasn't bored at all he just honed it all out to that size. took him 8 hours.
here are some pics of it.

ive seen plenty of people go bigger and be fine.

[Da_unknown]

[SLOWR/T]

What do you do at work? That looks pretty cool.

[NAG2I]

Nice set up! that is an easily 300+ whp set up not to mention high in tq!

[GAtegs]

Don't go over 300whp...especially not with 81.5mm bore.

Trust me. Ask Jensen if you should trust what CJ says.

[bRiAnMcIvIcS]

What is the C/R?

[NAG2I]

im guessing you know im his brother. what's your name on IL?
and jenson said that he thought it would be good over 300. i made sure that he thought that bore would be safe and not to big and he thought it was.
ill look into it a little more though.

[NAG2I]

What is the C/R?

9.0:1

[.:Stirfry:.]

bootsed DD Ls ftw:.. man you have sum good stuff coming along:..
btw is that cnc flange you made goin on the setup?

thanks man
and noo it's actually an intake manifold for a nissan race motor i think. might be toyota im drawin a blank.
i just didn't take pictures of the throttle bodies.

[.:Stirfry:.]

ohhh gotcha

My name is CJ on IL.

Yea, I know he is your brother.

I have had 3 or 4 LS builds now, so I know the quirks.

I made ~300whp for about 28,000 miles (this was all you internals, but a stock 81mm bore). Went back and retuned for more and within 1000 miles I had cracked a sleeve. Rebuilt, cracked another sleeve at about 355whp...sooo...do with it what you will.

hmm thats pretty crazy man
i talked to jenson and he said he thought that the injectors and the head will be the limiting factors.
but thats sucks i've never heard of people cracking ls sleeves like that.

[Ronsam2006]

Wow nice build up and like everyone said, please keep us posted.

[NAG2I]

Wow nice build up and like everyone said, please keep us posted.

thanks man will do

[Jenson]

Man cj, I had no idea u were that low on power. I really thought u were at 500... What did u rev to? Block girdle? Boost? I dont understand 300 whp cracking sleeves. Heck jeffery had a 300 shot on his Ls at one point. The sleeves r the same as the gsr block which will easily hold 300. I did advise him on a girdle and main studs. Sam delete those pics asap of the parts.

[NAG2I]

little update non turbo related
got my new suspension

[NAG2I]

thanks guys ill post some pics with the new suspension tomorrow

[NAG2I]

got the suspension on and i made another thread with pictures of the car.
and i got three of the rods and pistons in the block, waiting on a piston ring to put the fourth in and ill post pictures of that as soon as its done.

[GAtegs]

Are you not worried about making a nice detailed shopping list for thieves?

[NAG2I]

Are you not worried about making a nice detailed shopping list for thieves?

naw not really
i have plenty of ways to keep it safe now
i have learned from my mistakes you could say

[NAG2I]

alright i have a small update.
i got the pistons in the block which was a breeze. now i got the bearings and everything ready to put the crank in, which should happen this weekend.

[SleeperWRX]

Anything more then 270 on that motor, You will crack a sleeve. Anyone can go boost now days but that hard part is sleeving and not alot of people have money to sleeve. If you sleeve that **** you'll be straight. Or Atleast throw in the block gaurd its only $100

[LS2ner]

done you have to get the block guard pressed in? I think as long as you keep the revs down a little and moderate boost it should be ok.

[GaGen2Teg]

coming along good...once i sell my mr2 im going to be going the same route

[NAG2I]

not going to do a block guard i was told it just causes more heat in the head. and i can go pass 270. i don't know who told you that but its definitely not true. LS sleeves aren't that weak.

[NAG2I]

done you have to get the block guard pressed in? I think as long as you keep the revs down a little and moderate boost it should be ok.

yeah and you have to install them before you get it bored and honed.

[LS2ner]

[gsrteg]

[NAG2I]

hey, I see you purchased a Kabuki gasket kit, hows kit? does it work as well as OEM honda gaskets?

the simple gaskets are ok but not the head gasket and things like that.

[NAG2I]
