    ok now the story

    i was crusing craigslist and i found a parts car in a junk yard i just saw the red top valve cover i go to the lot and its a B18C1 with hasport mount custom linkages and skunk 2 intake i paid $700 for this car no title no interior but a dash and 2 ebay seats orange ef hatch so i i then decided to put it in the blue car above the hatch ran and drove no problem it was cold so there was some that coming out of the exhaust i didnt think anything of it well go threw the process of having the engine put in fix the subframe axles and take it to a guy yo do the wiring he has it for 2 months and it still isnt running he says he gives up i get it wiring hacked ot death so take ot to another friend who is a big GM guy and i let him try it out he fixes alot of the wiring issues and gets it running well i start to drive it home and once it gets up to temp its a small freight train lol smokes awful so i decided to rebuild it get it torn apart it has ITR cams SRS pistins or something like that and has eagle rods but the cylinder walls were scarred so i couldnt use them sooooo i bought new in line four http://www.inlinefour.com/ b16A pistons and gsr rods for that little bit of extra juice 82mm bored and completely new head

    now gonna start prep work for the SC so started by polishing the intake side 64.jpg now dumb me left all the brackets on the teg for the super charger when i sold it, so lost those. the original one i purchased came with everything but the double alt pulley so i happend to search ebay and found a guy fabricating them so bought it and it awesome almost super charger ready 65.jpg
  • Good job on getting it in there, sucks about the transmission. On a side note, you can post those all as one update not as separate posts. What's the CR on those pistons. Looking forward to seeing a dyno.
  • Pat_RickPat_Rick Band Wagon
    what do u mean CR? they are 82mm they are suppose to be made to resemble the itr pistons my cylinder walls were scarred pretty bad so thts why had to bore so much. and high compression kinda scares me with the blower but we will see what happens

    This is just amazing. Makes me want to supercharge my wagon. I also like the little details like bolts that are shiny and new.
