i was talking to one of my friends about his car and what does he plan to do with it. he has some things done but soon he's going to get more. so i want to ask everyone...
what do you have under your hood or plan(soon, not in 5 years) to have, port fueler, turbo?

Currently...CAI,4-1 Headers, Full catback exhaust

Planned...Possible rebiuld and turbo(looking into different car right now :shrug)

I want an upgrade, though, the wheel gets squeaky sometimes.

A lot of dirt.

Wait. We're talking about the 2GNT.

Just dust. Dust and everything short of a turbo system and cam gears.

It's a lot of fun. You should really try it. :thumbsup



You laugh, but this is the engine currently in my daily driver. I pulled it out, hosed it off, and installed it in the Galant. Sweet.

I bet, your engine hauls ass.:thumbsup Some might say its crappy way it looks but don't judge book by its cover.

2gnt (no pics anymore):
just the typical I/H/E, plus cams and a few other odds & ends.

Some nasty pics in there, sir. I hope that engine just had a taste for Mountain Dew. :wink:

blown HG will cause that every time, lol! That was from early in the season last year, as was the MD reference ;)

Yeah right. Your engine is cleaner than mine. With about twice the power.

Hey I never put up this pic of Shamu... How'd you get it?

I'm workingon getting portfueler. but this is it for now.

A beat up stock engine with a blown vc gasket, possible blown head gasket....as my coolant isn't looking too clean. We'll see how things go after i do a compression test and see how much money i need to spend! If i pull the motor, i'm waiting on pistons and rods before i put her back together. :D

Right now, the only upgrade i have is my shoddy but working cold air intake. Just clipped the stock intake tube, added a bit of a skunk2 intake to the bottom, connected the two peices with a silicone coupler/hose clamps and voila..... I got everything to do it for free minus the filter which was 25ish?

I plan to either:

A) build the bottom end with .020 over 10.5:1 cr je pistons with eagle rods

B) Buy another shortblock, sleeve it and put a 2.2L stroker kit in it with the same compresson listed above.

C) Buy a sbr/howell shortblock ready to slap a head on and roll with it.



I want to have a 3 angle valve job done, arp head studs, portmatching, pt lifters and rockers, crower springs and retainers w/ferra valves. Adj. cam gears will make their way in there with some nasty cams when i have everything for the turbo. Most of this i'm confident i can do on my own....minus the valve job. I'll leave that to the pros.

Fuel system is getting a workover with a walbro 255 and s-afc. Missing link.
Vortec smfu.
Possible aftermarket fuel rail....

EGR removal.

Most likely a 16g (ported w/flapper upgrade internally gated) will make it's way under my hood with a custom short tube manifold built by me. 16g turbos are relatively inexpensive, spool quick and make big power so why not? Everything else is a random FMIC from this site i found for 200 bucks, Custom ic pipes, custom dp, ported tb, dual stage b/c, HKS SSQ bov.....bigger injectors. I want my dump pipe routed into the downpipe and i want my bov recirculated back into the intake track to quiet things down a little. I'm doing my homework and taking notes. I could have in by late next year or mid 2009 depending on me busting ass and making the loot to get it done faster. :) It's damn sure going to take a while to find the time to put in the fab work. All part of the fun though.

Fidanza axles, act 2,600lb pressure plate with stock disk and fidanza flywheel. Phantom grip lsd.

That's about it. If it was a honda, it'd be done already but i've messed with hondas long enough. It's not unique to have a 200whp all motor eg hatch with a LS/vtec swap that runs in the 12's. We've all seen it before.

I've got a decent list of things under my hood. But unfortunately I still haven't gotten to the part that makes the power yet. Click the link below to my Wiki page to see all of my mods and what I'm currently saving for.

Fine. Real answer?

I have never seen a Hahn downpipe with their special coating. Usually only the cold pipes. Did you have Hahn do the coating?

Edit: Never mind. I originally thought that was a Hahn setup with an aftermarket manifold but that is a custom system all together.

Looks great.
