Well after saving for about a year, I can finally start/finish this never ending build. Everytime i would save up money something would happen or a bill would come. Im only taking one class this semester so school work shouldnt really get in the way. My original plan was to turbo a 95 4door that i picked up but then i thought about it and decided to DD the 4door. I learned from my last build that I cant have a highly moddified daily driver. I always had to worry about how I was getting to work the next day because something would go wrong. My goal is to get kicked off the track with a turbod16 for no cage lol. I believe its 11.5. I chose the D series because its more of a challenge and its cheaper then all the other swaps. Plus i get to tell people i ran 11's with a SOHC 1.6L and I will be running a ching chong ebay turbo.
This could turn into a slow build depending on how lazy I am but ive been wanting to get this done so i can drive it. The boost bug doesnt go away. Im also recording a video so i might not take pictures of somethings.
BTW My grammar and writing skills are horrible so dont flame.
The motor is a D16Y7. I picked up a set of H beams and vitaras brand new for $400 shipped. I had to notch the s**t out of the girdle. Eagles rod bolts are no joke. Im on a budget so I decided not to send the block to a machine shop unless theres something I needed done. I would rather learn than pay. Build > Bought/paid for. I picked up a micrometer set off ebay for $50 seomthing shipped. I also bought a $20 telescope set from harbor frieght. After checking the block/crank over, everything was in spec. The only questionable part was the high p2w clearance. I think it was like .006. My old setup was high too so it doesnt really bother me. Heres a couple pics of the motor assembled. Im still wanting on my action 2ms. It should be here on monday.
OIL FLOW FTW! Not doing this killed my last motor. I also enlarged my main bearing holes which will be shown in the video
This part scares me a little but I think it will be fine.
My girlfriend did this while i wasnt looking lol
my s**t pile.
crower cam, springs, valves, retainers on a y8 head w/under 2k bought for $340 shipped
This is my baby. i havent driven her in 2 months.
2/23/09 update! clutch came in.
This is what happends after you leave a flywheel sitting in your garage for a year.
f**k resurfacing. Were on a budget here. sandpaper = win lol

I dropped the oil pan down because I need to reuse it. This is the result of changing your oil every 10k+ and playing in the high rpms everyday. As you can tell I never gave a f**k about this motor. lol
If you look close, you can see theres a little river lol

BATH TIME!
Truck > Honda lol
This is the reason why I drive a POS. Stupid kid comes flying into a parking lot while im leaving. I couldnt see him because this truck was blocking half the street. As soon as I made the right coming out I saw him, dove to the right and scuffed up the car. No big deal tho. Im just pissed that I didnt hit him. lol the cars getting repainted in a couple months so im going to pick up some spray paint and give it the ricer touch.
2/26/09 part 2
2.99 duplicolor > moroso.
My usdm high compression bud light pistons.
2/27/09
Type R red wagon is back again! (i spraypainted the wheels to make it look more jdm

today sucked. I got 3 things that I ordered today, I got my T bolt clamps, my coupler things for my intercooler and a gasket. The T bolt clamps were tooo big, the couplers were the wrong size and my headstuds are for a d16z instead of d16y.
Theyre also tooo big. I picked up a new set for 85 shipped so its not that bad. I also had to reorder all the s**t i bought that was the wrong size.
I then moved on to gettting the transmission on. It was almost perfect until i noticed i had 2 dowels in the same hole. It took me about a half hour to get one out. Got that done and moved onto my fuel rail. The new intake mani has has 3 holes for the fuel rail while the oe has 2. The holes down like up so i drilled new ones. I got the middle one perfect but the 2 side ones were about 3mm off. After i got it lined up, I gave up and saved my bad luck for another day lol This is all i got done.
Then i made myself some dinner
