Plan? Still underway. I've only started researching and conjuring the project...Originally Posted by SL65AMG
i plan on doing a full build on both. not one stock part is gonna be used. only the block, but itll be sleeved and bored out to 85mm.
and back to evasives plan... lets hear it.
I'll probably keep the block at 84mm instead of boring over. Baller on a budget, here, but I do wanna see some numbers. The plan as of now is to have the ability to punt the naked/empty shoebox down the quarter in the 12's. Even high 12's. Doing this would satisfy me, enough. Anything more will just end with more bugs on my windshield of pleasure.
As of right now this is all I know I'll be doing...
Machine shop in acworth will be doing all of my work (which reminds me I need to refer him to someone) He's been doing my work for years, and I have yet to have a complaint.
Batlground will be doing all/any tuning neccessary. The guys down there have one hell of a reputation that has been well-earned, and I've had a few personal references to them.
As for my brakes, I'll be considering swapping back to the stock EF brakes in the front for a little less weight. Given this car will see some mountain and track time, though...the de-conversion has me in question over what I'll do. After all...I'm a twisties-driver. Not a straight line driver.
I'll be taking the LS tranny I have now, pulling it out, re-building it with carbon synchros from c-speed. 3rd gear may get replaced...if I replace it, 4th gear will probably get some work, as well. Otherwise, I like my long gears. 5th gear will remain LS so that when I AM on the highways, it doesn't get annoying... The tranny will have LSD installed. Tranny will remain cable...
As for the motor, I don't have much of the planning done...all I know is I wanna spool fast and be in the 200+hp range...and I'm gonna try to do it NA on pump gas. If I fail...well...mini-snail will be on the way.
Aftermarket rods (man. to be decided)
Aftermarket Pistons (man./dome to be decided)
Honed/crosshatched walls
Blockgaurd
balanced crank
ported oil squirts (I wanna make sure the ***** gets all the oil she needs)
Top end (PR3, most likely. If I go turbo, it'll probably go p75)) will receive larger valves, springs, retainers, port/polish, milled on a 1layer head gasket. Cams to be decided. Cam gears by skunk2 (likely)
Exhaust will probably be custom made 2 or 2.25 all the way back. No cat.
Any pieces will be BNIB OEM Honda Parts (unless of course it's not made by Honda. Point is...we're not going to Autozone for this stuff...)
As for turbo...if I GO that route...you'll be informed later as for how I'll do it. For now we're shooting for NA build...I think my goals and aspirations are manageable with NA.
As you can see...I've got a LONG shopping list. IF the project goes through...I don't expect it to even be started til...what...December? Because before I can work on this project, I've gotta get the OTHER hatch in my posession, torn down, painted, and reassembled the way I want it. THEN...I can buy the block/crate motor and move forth with the project.
