so after getting a FWD auto car and doing some minor mods to it and getting it to run really well. i decided to build another one, but with more done to it. My build is going to be a car built for the street. So that means lots of torque, and real soon.. I also wanted to keep A/C and cruise control. This will be a daily driver and a sleeper. Im trying to make it look as stock as possible.

So i decided on this setup:

2.3l 4g63 7 bolt block
Custom manley pistons 11.5:1 C/R
Groden aluminum rods with vader coating
Eagle forged steel 100mm crank
acl coated race main/rod bearings


2g head
mild porting work done. trying a new small-large-small port design to increase velocity
supertech valves
dual valve springs with titanium retainers
manley keepers
bronze valve guides
hks 280 cams

STOCK 2g intake manifold
custom intercooler piping to fit auto trans
large universal front mount intercooler

Walbro 485? e85 fuel pump
8-an nylon braided fuel line for the feed
BG 10" fuel filter with stainless element
1680cc injectors
AEM fuel pressure regulator

Custom "holset" turbo
67x99mm compressor wheel
hx40 turbine wheel with hx52 turbine shaft(fits in hx40 turbine housing so i can use the BEP housing for a "bolt on" fitment)

NOS Pro shot fogger system with braided steel hoses

Pictures of the second car as i bought it. Needs pretty much everything.

Yeah just building my 2.4 gsx roadcourse car right now. This thing will start of I hooked up turbo but its going to have to wait. Also need need some electronics for trans for shifting. Wire my msd dis2, nos progressive controller and two linelock solenoids.
