so i found $6,000

[maximanse96]

Buddy of mine is shipping out to the big sandbox and has left me his 92 acura interga with a b16A dohc in it along with $6000 and a 50trim set up. He said have fun with it fix it up and he'll be back to get it from me at the end of the year. Well, im not what you would call an Acura/Honda expert so if you had $6000 what would you do with it. and no he doesnt want another car, he wants that money put into the car.

thanks for any advice.

Maybe overnight parts from Japan.

6k won't cut it pal.

But, on a serious note. GSR block with Darton closed deck sleeves. Some 84.5 mm forged pistons. Eagle stroker kit, skunk 2 pro series cams, and skunk 2 valve-train. ARP head studs. Make sure the compression will be around 10.5:1 and you work out the boost details.

[maximanse96]

fair enough, what do the civic/integra, as far as boost normally run on a motor like that I told him no more then 12psi. but thats a personal prefrence. i run 16 on my car but w/e.

That depends on a lot of factors. Internal engine components, turbo size, etc. Different size turbos will yield different hp per psi. Forged internals will sustain more hp than cast internals.

[maximanse96]

for the GSR is there a specific year that I need to be looking into, like I said once again im sorry im not much into the engine swap thing.

Your friend is a very trusting fellow. If you are not mechanically inclined, get a general idea of what you want to do (so that you aren't just asking questions about anything and everything) and call Mainstream. I'm sure they've done builds like this before.

[maximanse96]

yeah I just got my car back friom mainstream hella drive from gwinnett

[livelifeenvy]

6k won't cut it pal.

umm, depends where you order and what is ordered.


@ maximanse96: everyhing else sired94 has said sounds about right... I would say ask him to help you , but that ain't gonna happen

[MongolPup]

Yeah the drive can be intense. The old shop was even better in that regard; one time I was riding home with someone and we ended up in Bankhead.

[koukis14]

Sell the car. HOOKERS AND BLOW!!!!!!

lol yeah bank head is only about 15-20 min from there. We had to passs through to get there I thought about taking the car to battle grounds, I went there for a dyno day but mainstream guys were awesome when iut came to fixing me up.

[maximanse96]

whats the deal with the GSR block with LS internals? still a good idea to do that I was doing some research and started reading about the GSR block with LS crank and rods.

[eraser4g63]

Second that motion!

[Vteckidd]

with $6000 you can do A LOT

Golden Eagle Sleeved Block with rods and Pistons ASSEMBLED 2.0 -$2800
Valvetrain $200
LSVTEC kit $100
Headgasket $60
ARP headstuds $100

You could do a nice BB turbo for around $500-600

That would be a reliable 400whp car

What suspension does he have on the car?

[maximanse96]

he has tien springs on stock shocks I believe.

[Vteckidd]

id look into some suspension, skunk2 is having a sale right now, for around $600-650 you can get full coilovers and replace those old worn out shocks

[Jdm94Coupe]

cable tranny? stock b16 block? 50 trim setup (already turbo car)..... we need more information. what clutch/injectors/ other mods are already done. sleeving sounds like too much for your goals. just from what u are telling us so far. pics wouldnt hurt either.

[maximanse96]

car is at my other house right now I will get pics up probally this weekend, the car has a 50 trim setup...like, in the back seat not actually on the car yet lol. but yes it is a stock b16 block (from what he told me). Stage 3 act clutch stock injectors but has a FPR for some reason(?) and he has a cold air intake.

and after all that you stil have money left over for other minor things. pics would help to see what kinda of condtion the car and motor is in.
you and your friend must be very close to trust you with 6k and his car, so dont let him down and do it right :goodjob:

[dallasb84]

6 grand is enough for you to make some for the effort as well....

hit me up i can help you do the turbo kit too if you need anything

later

He is we spent the past year together in the military and he is from Guam so over here in the states his family is my family. Pretty much a brother. Pics will be posted up this weekend, and im sure through the next year I will have a "Project build" thread going on. New to Ia, old to the import world.

[Vteckidd]

I can get you the suspension if you want but you gotta order it soon, their sale ends pretty quick. They were only offereing it to certain people to try to get the word out on the EF/DA suspension. I just got my PRO-Cs in, i can get them to send me another set for the DA if you want

[JDM_Jim]

thats crazy and cool lol good luck with it

[rastaintegra]

Take it to mainstream and have them build you a nice motor set up. And do your friend want it turbo charged or na.

[matthewAPM]

I would say more power or make it handle really good.

GC coilovers with custom valved koni shocks, big rear bar, etc etc. Then do a bolt in rollbar, race seats, harnesses, etc. 15x10 with 275's on all four corners, carbon front lip and splitter. And a big brake kit....

[Futuristic6]

Boost that bitch!, R&D does good work.

[5speed]

Im so interested to see how this turns out. If you do what Vteckidd suggested, then he would have a hell of a DA. DA Club could have a more than worthy new member!

[maximanse96]

have been talking with Vteckidd for details, prolly going to be going his route.

[TommyD1919]

I would drive his car to the nearest strip club and spend $6000.. Then when he comes home give him a box full of I-O-Us. Like in the movie dumb and dumber...
just kidding with 6 grand you can do just about anything. H2B, nice suspension, and some nozzle lights..

[JEpistons]

Boost it or build n/a and get good suspension.
