The Journey Begins

shortly after I got the car home, I started to do things like stare at it for a while and so forth. I needed to find a motor. In an attempt to at least get it running, I had a SOHC motor in it that never was even attempted to be wired. That's ok because I wanted to build a DOHC motor (bigger better and more powerful) anyways.

So after a while, my buddy located a DOHC motor in the local junk yard. We pulled it out and took it to his house to do a tear down and rebuild.

Here is the list of modifications that have been done to the vehicle:
1. motor completely cleaned, bored 1mm over, honed, decked, built.
2. head planed, 3-angle valve job, port, polish, hydro lifters
3. 1.8 cams, 1.8 ported intake
4. Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 8 turbo
5. custom exhaust manifold and downpipe
6. big front mounted intercooler
7. polished and tig welded stainless steel charge pipes
8. GReddy type RS blow off valve
9. Haltech stand-alone computer
10. Honda civic racing radiator
11. Custom oil cooler
12. Wire tuck
13. Wideband o2 sensor
14. Autometer wideband, oil pressure, and boost gauges
15. Oil catch can
16. Coolant catch can
17. 3-bar map sensor
18. EBC greenstuff brake pads
19. slotted brake rotors
20. interior blacked out (paint plastics black, black suede headliner, etc)
21. custom carbon fiber spark plug cover plate
22. 460cc injectors
23. stage 5 clutch masters unsprung 4-puck clutch

...and much more
