Here is a short vid on my phone that I took last night. Might have to do it in the daytime to get a better look.

Its in 3rd gear from 50mph to 90mph. I only take it to 7000rpm before I let off. I will get a better video with someone taping going through the gears.

Mods
b16 longblock
ls tranny
t3/t4 turbo setup
450cc
tune on crome
10lbs of boost.


Once I finish installing the side markers and cleaning the car I will take pics.

Yeah I will get better pics and videos. Hopefully this weekend. Last weekend I did not have a chance to do anything.

I have a small fuel leak with the o-rings on the injectors. Need to replace these.

Other then that she runs great.

Got the car running good and was able to fix all the bugs that I had.

Here is a day time video I took. I did not drive it as hard as I could. No launch. 5-10mph roll, easy on the shifting.
I am going to sell this car and have no need to drive it hard or break anything.

Here are a few pics I took. I still need to install the side markers and fully detail the exterior and interior of the car. Once I finish those few easy jobs I will take better pics in a better location.

Thanks for looking.







and the best one so far. (Don't mind my friend in the car. He use to have a 00 SI and wanted to drive the car to cry over getting rid of his EM1)

Well I guess I should be nice and show some pics of that last few days I had the car before I sold it to a member on here. He is taking care of the car now and glad it's in good hands.

I just got a new account on ClubCivic and was browsing around until I stumbled into here. I jumped from what it looked like when you bought it to now. I am simply speechless, that car is an inspiration. Simply amazing.

Thanks for all the compliments. The car was fun to build and I do miss driving it. The member who bought it from here flew in from Georgia to pick it up and drove it all the way back home. He has done head work and now putting a fully built ls bottom end on it and is expecting 400+hp.

I went from a ls/vtec swap I wasn't happy with the power to a ls turbo setup. Upon starting up the ls motor found out it had major problems with keeping fluid in it and mixing coolant and oil together. So I pulled that longblock back out and swapped in a stock b16 longblock and attached the turbo setup to that motor.

Ran great when I had it.

I'm building a 240sx now with a sr20 in it. See how long I like this car. Might go back to playing with Honda's :D
