well ive been lurking on here for years now. and decided to share my build thread here too. this is not my normal forum but since i lurk i mine as well show everyone what im working with.
well first il start with telling you a little about the car with the setup that was on it for a little over a year.
was just a budget built vitara d16 with stock head and ebay turbo. including the tune there was less then $2500 in the build. it was daily driven everyday rain sleet or snow here in iowa.
on the dyno the car made 265whp on 16psi. and at the end of its time it was at 24psi with unknown whp. 300whp is my guess. got taken to the track a few times when i could. best time was
11.9 @117mph 1.9 60ft on barrowed slicks and trans with lsd
here is a video of the fastest run that was caught on tape. hitting boost cut in 4th
12.1@110mph 1.7 60ft http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_fa9Wh8By0

now il tell you about the plans for the car now and some of the parts lists.
the plans for the car since i now have another stock 96 civic for a DD
my goal last year was 11's this year the goal is getting into the 10's.
everything is getting upgraded except the block. im sticking with the same fj distributors H beams with vitaras. 25k on them.

parts list that i already have include
fully P&P head, crower springs S2 retainers stock valves
comp 59500 cam edelbrock cam gear
SLS topmount manifold
precision PTE 6262 turbo with ported s cover (non billet wheel)
bosch 1600cc injectors. il be running E85
Go-Autoworks backdoor FMIC
bosch 044 inline pump
omni 70mm TB

parts that are ordered but still waiting for from greg at www.go-autoworks.com

golden eagle intake manifold
inline fuel filter
Go-autoworks catchcan
fuel system including rail aeromotive regulator all lines and fittings

parts that are still needed
lsd
drag suspension
wheels and slicks.

now here are some pics of the car and the current work on it
taking the cage out of the car to redo it to meet regulations


the hoop after is was cleaned up


picture of the turbo. got this used from greg at go-autoworks but in mint condition



the head after assembly



manifold


i have the head installed and mocked the fmic turbo and manifold







i had a different intake manifold a performer x but have decided toget bigger and better so it has been sold.
picture of the seat cover for the new kirkey seat


the car still needs some work. it sits now with no interior or cage. i have been waiting for my order from greg so i can have the car able to start. then it can get driven to a shop and we can get the cage in. then after i get a trans it can get tuned. the stock diff is missing teeth so i dont think that would make it through the tuning session.
the whp goal for the car is 450-500whp but im not really worried about what power it makes just want to run good times at the track.


let me know what everyone thinks and any questions that you may have

its still on the budget side but my last build was a huge budget build. this time im actually spending a little bit of money on nice stuff.
gotta pay to go fast.

great quote that i use "cheap, fast, and reliable. you may only pick two"

RootBur

Now seeing the pics, yea, i feel you.

and got a fitting for the feed line into the turbo put on.
and got the drain line ready to go on after i cut the excess off the line.
not a whole lot of work but all i could get done. my stuff from Greg is on the way so il be able to get the inline pump and the fuel system on the car.
and already got the exhaust fabbed up just need to put the flange on it and cut up the hood.

debating on installing a stock throttle cable holder or buying a GE universal on.
greg told me how to do the stock one on there. but idk if i feel comfortable drilling and tapping into it.

Looking good - hope to meet up with you guys this year

iTrader: (3)

def. are you trying to get to the track much this year? id like to make it to the first mahem but idk if that will happen yet or not

base-op.1320

Yeah me and bens green coupe should be running the midwest ifo or wisconsin's import wars, still undecided which is scary because the first ifo is this sunday in wichita. Hopefully we will be at a couple mayhems this year. You still got this week to get yours ready for wichita - hehe

boostontheD

iTrader: (3)

haha not possible to be readt for that. still needs tuned. ben said something about getting nolan to possibly tune it for me. but i do not have slicks or lsd. got a welded diff i could throw in but thats to much rushing.
i would love to have it ready for the import wars but idk about that either. my buddy brads car just got started tonight so he is planning on going. im sure he is out tuning tonight on it so we will see how his goes

base-op.1320

Btw I'm nolan but yeah ben talked to me about tuning just haven't found a good dyno to use yet so still undecided on how much tuning I will be doing this year. But I will let you know and let me know if you find a decent dyno to use.

base-op.1320

Looks like you are mounting your kirkey the same height as us, do you think it feels too low at all. We where both thinking it felt a little low but kind of like it at the same time.

boostontheD

iTrader: (3)

i was wondering if this was nolan. and idk about the seat yet. my old seat i sat super low in it and loved it. so im hoping i like this one just as much. i havent had time to actually mount it in the car since its been on the bracket. i sized it up with it just sitting on the bracket and it felt pretty decent.
how do you like rev hards dyno? there is also a dyno 15 min away from me that is at a deisiel truck shop. and i would be able to rent it but am unknown on what dyno it is or any specs on it. i guess i could stop in there someday next week and see whats up.

Gold DA9

looks good. So your using the push-loc hose straight from your fuel tank to the bay? Just curious, because of the heat from the exhaust and such.

Gold DA9

also what size is the line and are you using a stock return?
