my daily's gsr build. Budget 1.9 liter

[Starrfire]

Well, I just felt the itch for just a little more power out of my daily. It already has a gsr in it, hondata, I/h/e coupled to an Ls trans can be kinda linear and ho-hum. So I looked around and bought only the best deals I came across, as well as the best bang-for-the-buck parts. This isn't supposed to be a fast car, just something fun. I just really like to build engines, this is the 5th for myself alone. Time to break out all of the engine building toys soon because I don't lack much on parts. I expect it to do about 185-205 whp, and about 135-145 whtq. Kind of a broad window but its always a wild card until you get it on the dyno and make your first pull. I kind of expect fun and good gas mileage out of it since I get about 36-38 mpg averages right now.

First off I guess I will name off what I have so far and what is left to purchase. The engine is a b18c1
Bottom end(stock):
b18c1 block, bored to 81.5mm
Ls crankshaft, micropolished
Ls rods, have been resized for bolts
Arp rod bolts
Rs machine 81.5mm pr3 pistons
Balanced rotating assembly and soon to be blueprinted when I start
ARP head studs
Hot tanked

cylinder head P72:
head has had ports cleaned up
supertech valves
skunk2 stage 2 tuner series cams
skunk2 tuner series dual valve springs
skunk2 titanium retainers
extended IM studs
Hondata IM gasket
AEBS IM
Azraceandmachine cam seal
head has been resurfaced and hot tanked

bolt ons:
CTR crank pulley
RMF style header
Exedy steel light weight flywheel and stage 1 clutch
b16 trans with Ls 5th installed
motor mount inserts with some solid mounts
Apexi WS2 exhaust
SRI
Obd1 h22a 345cc injectors, already modified an extra harness with the resistor box plugged in.
Omnipower test pipe(Alabama aka no emissions)

Internals, all honda, almost every piece is replaced short of like the LMA's. I don't use cheap parts though. Most of the stuff isn't pictured yet, I'll get pics of it this weekend and download them.











Comments and critisizim welcome. I'll get more pictures soon since so much is not pictured, and of the assembly process when I start that.

[Sammich]

i'd like to skeet in those cylinder walls...hope u get what u want man

[Starrfire]

Thanks, I don't lack much. Gonna start building it in about a week.

[Starrfire]

Pic updates, I haven't been building it too quickly. I've had better things to do like work late lol. Here are some pics thus far.

nothing like building an engine in the living room

nothing like building an engine in the living room

Nah that's my game room, air hockey table and all the game systems and shit. But there hasn't been a single drop of oil on the floor yet.

And to comment on the oil squirters, FUCK those damn pain in the ass oil squirters. It took me 3 hours worth of bending and test fitting to get them to not hit the damn crank or pistons. They look like a snake now lol

[dallasb84]

good job man.. i been watchin this thread for a minute, nice head work btw

[SX-MAN]

why would you clean everything up and then put that crusty belt cover on....

clean it...if your going to doit, doit right the first time.....then you will def be satisfied

but everything looks good.... hope it all works and stays together....

[Starrfire]

That crusty belt cover goes behind a clean belt cover, and only the edges are seen, which are clean BTW lol. But I've been blue printing the engine the entire way. Every clearance and torque is spec'd and I am very confident it will last a long time since this isn't my 6th build for myself. But look later today for more pics. Thanks for the comments.

[Starrfire]

Well, got as far as I can until Saturday for the most part. I found out that I was missing 2 of the dowels that go to the cam caps when mocking up the head. On Intake cam cap 5 there are no dowels. So I'm going to pick some up and buy small random crap from my tuner. Then commence with putting it in time and adjusting the valves and putting the rest of the pieces on. Well here are a couple of unfinished pics, but close. Just need to install the cams, and adjust timing and the valve lash. BTW the black plastic looks much worse when you take a picture of it. It looks pretty good in person.

[Starrfire]

Ok, almost finished, didn't want to make it any heavier for now lol.

My brand spanking new Skunk2 cams going in


Just put it in time and adjusted the valves


Just bolting on little stuff and putting it in now. I'll post up dyno results as soon as I get them.

[TheSnail]

Yeah the edges of those camshaft lobes are sharp as shit. I see you cut the shit out of your hand installing them.

jk , Looks great though, keep up the good work!

[lsvtec20]

Nice build thus far, hope it turns out the way you want it

[Starrfire]

+ reps given to all encouragement. Thanks guys, I just have to find the time to get it in now. should be a day of fun lol. I've got a very special transmission for it. An s4c, with an Ls 5th gear and a factory LSD installed. should make for good times.

[Starrfire]

As soon as I get this one in, I take the h2b out of my other car and start on it. It already has a few mods, most of them will be going back on it. Looking to make great power on it. It already makes 215 on a real low reading dyno and traps 108 on street tires. I'll start pulling it out this weekend and show some pics.

[.:Stirfry:.]

awesome shit yo:. i love motor build threads::..

this guy is just too cool....it should be pretty sweet once installed...i still have the 2.8 liter if you still wanted to trade man

[toonz]

Nice setup simple and clean

[Starrfire]

^^^lol. reps given to all. Just so unmotivated to go pull my other cars engine out, but might as well while the getting is good.

[tinkolby_25]

[Starrfire]

Tinkolby 25 loves fags

fixed

[Starrfire]

Well, almost ready to finish this thing, only things left to do is put the thing in basically. I have a few more pics while it is still in pieces.
I have my clutch,flywheel,trans and my walbro 190 now.


My transmission is very special, and overly expensive, more expensive than my R trans i bought. I bought it from Silversol a ways back for $600, found out the diff was grenaded, got some money back from him, had the dif replaced as well as an Ls 5th gear installed;$700. Decided I wasn't going to use my LSD b16 trans so I took the lsd out and put it in the trans you see,got it shimmed out and new diff bearings, also modifying case for the factory lsd. $125.(no labor since I traded the diff and case and guts of the 3rd gear grinding trans for that. So I have $1500 in a b16 trans, a real nice b16 trans


My engine strangely enough was built almost solely from parts purchased on import atlanta. So might as well put the free sticker on there lol.

[Starrfire]

Also, I'd like to thank all the people that I bought parts from. I can't remember everyone's name but if you sold it to me you know lol.

[goi_ek]

nice, keep up the good work

+reps to all, I'm gonna take some install pics, and pics of the car. I also have a few other things to do to the car since a few meets are coming up. I've made arrangements to have my car dyno'd in about 3 weekends so I'll see how this works out.

[Just_CHill]

Very very nice build man. Love to see what numbers you are going to pull with this beast. Makes me miss my car.

[gerardojdm]

Nice and simple. I alway wanted to do the same set-up before i went boost. Cant wait till i see the dyno results . reps

[BABY J]

Don't forget security!!!!!!

[firby911]

Looks good,reps to you

[Starrfire]

Reps given.

Don't forget security!!!!!!

I don't even live in the State of Georgia. And only mustang guys around here. But security is good enough on it right now. I mean after all this is my daily, it doesn't sit anywhere and I work in a federally fenced in airport so no one in or out without a code. Maybe a small enhancement to it... though that is for me to know. But thanks

[SRCRX]

GOOD THREAD!

[GaGen2Teg]
