Project wrong wheel drive

[andrew_j]

I posted up my intro thread a while ago. Link to my intro. I figured that it was time to make a "build thread"

The car as it sits has:
Koni yellow sp3 adjustable shocks
Ground control adjustable coilover sleeves
Extended top hats to correct shock postion from lowering
Bump stops have been halved as per ground controls direction
Apex'i WS2 exhaust (not a fart cannon)
AEM Short ram (DIY mod to convert to cold air coming this weekend.)
50%F 35%R Window tint
Rota Slips with continental extreme contact dws tires
OEM ITR lip with paint matched side
Wingless Trunk
DDM Tuning 55watt 6000k HID's, Nokya Yellow bulbs in the OEM foglights.
Sony HU, Pioneer components in the front, stock rears, 2 Kicker Comp 10's with Kenwood KAC8104D amp.

Boost is the plan if I keep it. I have been looking at E36's however I am having a hard time selling this car, its my baby. I know FWD is not optimal and Honda's are well just that Honda's. My goal is to break the typical mold with this car and use the car for track, autocross, and daily driving duties. Ideally I am going to try to get 300whp, but my focus is going to be getting as much torque out of my little LS as I can. I have seen people actually achieve ~290wtq and around 270whp. This is what I would like to see with boost around 4k rpm.







I took these pictures with my new dslr which is a Sony A230L. I am learning with it so be easy on me. If you have any suggestions in that department feel free to lmk.

This is my turbo parts list as it is (copied and pasted from a Honderp forum I frequent).

Turbo Build list ROUGH DRAFT:

straight line specialties mini log mani fold and 3in down pipe - $745
cxracing fmic - $73 Shipped
cxracing radiator full length dual core - $150 I believe...
Spal fans - idk $ but since I am keeping ac I need STRONG fans. Gonna set them up to push.
Garrett T3/T04e 50 Trim - $700
SRE FMIC Piping- $150
Fast-Turbo Oil Lines - $39
Tial 38mm wastegate - $235
Tial 50mm BOV - $225
10an fittings and hose (ebay) - $46 shipped
Full 3inch stainless exhaust (ebay) - $140 shipped
Allowance for misc welding by Shawn Ramey and parts I might have missed - $500
Clock pod (quad pods) - $70 shipped
Autometer Sport Comp Boost gauge - $60 shipped (Summit)
AEM wideband - $200
LSD - idk which one so I can't say a cost.

Parts total = $3183 approximately

Ideally I can source some parts used, and cut cost. I'd like to get the turbo, wideband, boost gauge, BOV and wastegate all used. Maybe even the radiator. I know of one that might be available actually.





















I am gonna let the tuner do the EMS and tuning in one go. My plan is to buy all my parts, keeping it as cheap as possible, then pull the motor have it sleeved, and the head freshened up. Once it is back, and re installed I will break it in, install the turbo junks, and trailer it to a tuner. I am gonna change my goal to this; I want 2 tunes. Something around 300whp to daily drive with, and autox, and one balls out tune for drag racing/shutting down haters. Essentially the second tune will be maxing out my setup. Also the fart cannon 3inch exhaust will have the muffler replaced with a black vibrant stealth muffler. I hate fart tubes.

It's an LS. Its really slow and really low. Let me know. I have some new pads on the way which will be installed this weekend as well as ATE superblue fbrake fluid.
