Default Hell has frozen over and I'm about to finish a car for myslef....

Car is a 92 hatch. Motor is a semi built b18c5 block, gsr head, gsr tranny....

Here are a couple of pictures of the motor as it sits on the stand a couple of days ago. Note the dumptube was not yet finished so don't worry that it is pointing at the oil drain.

Couple more pics. I'll add some tech stuff later and some more pics of the catch can setup and porting of the intake manifold.





I'm looking to have the car done in about two weeks, time permitting. Goal is to be a daily driver that runs 11.5ish on street tires and high 10's on slicks (if I can get away with it). I don't plan on putting a cage in it so that is where I'm going to limit it. Should be around 420-450whp on race gas. Turbo is a 57trim t3/t4 .63 a/r.

Yeah that is a ugr manifold and I did buy it off Phil. I've been very impressed with this manifold. A review of this manifold is one of the things I am planning on writing along with some detailed pictures.

As far as if you should replace your drag with this one it is up to you. If you are not having any boost creep problems with the drag then you should keep it. The wastegate positions was one of the reasons I bought it, it is centrally located and fits without an elbow. I'm planning on building a 16ga 316SS mani down the road. I have it designed in my head but I just wanted to get this car running and then upgrade down the road.

The intake manifold on this is also a temp unit. It is a skunk2 piece that I cut the plenum open and am in the process of porting out. I will then weld the stock plenum back on. I'll post pics of that as I progress with it next week. I've alos got a design for a full sheet metal intake that I'll hopefully try out in the near future.
