To get started I bought my AP1 off my buddy who got orders overseas, and left it with me, but it had a blown motor. With this I bought a motor off of someone on the forum here, but ended up being a piece of turd opposed to what he had told me. So instead of buying another motor, I just decided to have this one fully built to handle some boost. I will be putting a snail on the car as soon as I get the new motor broken in after I return from my temporary deployment, so I will just post the motor build specs for now until I have bought the turbo setup. Plans are to use a GTX3076 on E85, hoping for close to 600hp.

Big thanks to Taylor Wilson, Travis Barnes, and Forced Air Technologies of Phoenix, Arizona for performing the build. Also, I would like to thank Greg (05TurboS2k) for all his help and advice. Great bunch of people on this forum willing to answer all of my questions I have had, thanks to all of you as well. Let this be a lesson to all of you, make sure when you buy stuff from people on the forums that you are buying from a trustworthy individual. Learn from my $2600 loss. Stay tuned for more to come, I don't get back to Phoenix until September.


OEM minus BC Coil overs and Invidia dual exhaust



Exhaust side of the block noticed a hole


Looking through the block, yes there is a hole on the other side too. Rod had grenaded both sides of the block


Intake side of the block...too much vtec to teh manifoldz


Cylinder 2 & 3's rods at the scene of the suicide


Couple of F20's would pull a premium one week before street wars...

Thanks everyone.

Going to either sell the OEM AP1 wheels for OEM AP2V1 wheels and put some drag radials on the rears or go for a meaner stance, but for now I picked up a brand new set of gold rpf1s wrapped in Hankook RS3's. 245 all around on a 17x9. Dropped these off a few days before I left

 

Just got word the block is currently at Darton getting sleeved, cant wait to see how she came out

 

Sorry haven't posted in a longtime and have been pretty busy. Well the motor got finished around September while I was on vacation on the other side of the country. Got word the day I was leaving that I got orders to be relocated in 4 months. That very next day got word I was gonna be a Dad! So needless to say I've been busy! Just arrived at my new base here in Texas over the weekend and the wife is now 5 months pregnant with our little girl! Trailered the s here with me and now she's just waiting to be played with haha. I'll post up some pictures soon. Still waiting to boost her, maybe within the next year. Got some other priorities right now
