Who's got 2 thumbs and is DEFINITELY coming out to the meet tonight?

*Points to self*

THIS GUY!

 

ZOMFG kudos dude...

 

AWsome! what are you tuning with?

 

nice work you should make a parts list for us with part #'s so someone can collect there own and build it

 

THIS IS AWESOME!!!! I cant wait for it to be broken in so josh can drive/tune it like he stole it again. shit is going to be nuts.

so this is just cp pistons and pauter rods as far as parts go right?

 

now if only someone would make parts for the head!

 

"Did we do something right!?" I envy you. Now go thrash it and turn up the boost.

 

congrats dude! i just woke up and this is the first thing i had to check. HAHA

 

Nice thread. Intresting to see someone taking the engine apart to make some upgrades. And nice upgrades it seems.

The last picture in the first post got me thinking of this picture:

 

thats so bad ass, you got that engine to gether and in the car running in no time. That would probable have taken me months to do.

 

mustang john here.

just want to say it was awesome working on the car and having a hand in it. glad we got it going last night. break it in and we can have some backroad fun, i might not be able to keep on you now big guy.


and yes. i think we did do somehting right

 

heres my pics, i copied this thread from honda site i moderate


when i got there it was just the assembled motor he finished early today, we started with the wiring harness and him showing me a pic and drawing how he had to notch the cylinder walls so the rods would clear


the mounted turbo(removed in a min)


omg spoon


the owner

wtf mustang owner building hondas? no way


lifted up, ready for the tranny install


tranny mounted


L15(now a 1.6L)


cusco oil res


me getting things ready to drop it in


trying to line up the driver side front mount


almost done

motor finally in


final checks before the start up and finishing the wiring and vacuum lines. (also remounting the turbo and exhaust, fluids, etc)


thats all for now, ill update it with the startup video tomorrow. its been almost 12hrs since we started. ran into a few issues making it take a while. but its all worth it, hes aiming for 300whp on the stock head, well know soon if it does it.

darkstar out

YouTube - the built motor turbo fit first start

im loving that quote " did we do something right" Epic Classic

 

i didnt know what else to say at 4am lol

 

I bet the neighbors love you, no hood for sound deadening, exhaust, turbo, at 4am. Pretty nice that it started up first try. Took longer than that to start the 57 chevy today, and it hasn't been taken apart and rebuilt in a while.

 

And you showed remarkable restraint in your first drive of the resurrected Fit Josh. Of course the fact that exhaust probably smells like burning hundred dollar bills right now might have helped there LOL Good stuff man, congrats.

 

It's ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!!!

 

SWEET! AWESOME JOB GUYS! Mad props to you all for putting this together and doing a clean job with it!

 

How is it running?

 

like shit lol, the lower compression and bigger displacement is drawing in to much air for the tune to keep up with so the second i hit 1 lbs of boost it goes SUPER lean. and now i found out the shop that is tuning it, well there dyno broke and there getting a new one april 13 or 14 so i got to wait longer now to see that car make any power. but the engine is GREAT idles perfect, no knocking or odd noises, and most importantly no leaks, so i must have done something right!!! o ad it sounds really cool a lot diffrent then before, a lot deeper and more beafey
