Hey everyone. Great board. I was on dsmtalk but started seeing the same answer over and over with no real technical prowess behind it.
Back on topic. My buddy wanted a nice cheap car to get him through the winter....a beater if you will....well I spotted http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1835988 that car on Honda-tech and figured it would fit his bill.
He was ecstatic. We decided this woudn't be a beater at all but our next project car.
Right now...we are tenatively looking into converting it over to manual. Now I know this is quite challenging to do but hopefully we will be able to do it. I took the engine out of my car and tore it down to send it off for sleeving...got it back reassembled it, and put it back in so I'm not totally inept at that sort of thing.
So anyways...that's the immediate plan besides buying a balance shaft eliminator kit to fix the aforementioned problem listed in the link.
After that, we plan on doing the normal stuff...upgrade the turbo, manifold, and fuel system and all that jazz. His goals are modest...he said if he hit 300 whp, he'd be happy. I think it's very feasible with the super 16g but I haven't done a lot of research into which turbo he will be using.
So thats it. Any suggestions or comments are welcome. I just want to see if I"m being reasonable about our plans. Any input is very much appreciated.
