Thanks man, So haven't updated lately because of real slow cash flow lol, but i have managed to get my motor together. Its a SOHC block and crank with 120,xxx km on it with EGT 8.8.1 pistons with new rod bearings and rings with a slightly ported EGT head. Just a cheap stock parts build pretty much, just cleaning up my intake manifold and other little parts right now. Also have a B code vaf and 4-2-1 header. still waiting on parts like water pump, timing belt ect. As for suspension and brakes i just need to get stainless braided flex lines, hook up the e-brake cables, need front rotor, pads and ball joints. Once the motor is complete it should be pretty smooth sailing from there. o also need my exauhst done and tires, i'll post up pics of the motor tonight

Totally sick build man... always watching it.. love the rear lip idea thouhg even if it is off an accord LOL

[deathtrigga]

dude ur beasting too much lol
the egt's look seriouss and what kind of winter beater is that with the EGT front end? the pro looks absolutely serious though

[94greenpro]

The winter beater is my old pro that i smashed so i used the EGT front end on it so i could drive it during the swap, Thanks for the comments

[deathtrigga]

wow never heard of that haha but thats cool

[deathtrigga]

is it worth it to use the SOHC crank ? I want to run the car N/a for a month or so before i turbo it and i was just wondering if the SOHC crank will have noticeable loss of power running N/A?

[94greenpro]

from what iv read its a 8lb weight difference between the b8 and bp crank, less rotating mas=more power. but i also heard its only good for up to 250 ish hp, not sure on that though?? But for me i don't plan on doing much more power wise so whatever

I use GR-2 struts too but are you using coilovers with them in the rear? If so what brand? How did you g\adapt them to the gr-2's?

[94greenpro]

coilover sleeves front and rear, there actually just ebay sleeves and they slid over the gr2's perfect, tight fit. i plan to get dropzones sometime in the summer

[94greenpro]

well the motor is complete, brakes are done, suspension is done, juts need to figure out some wiring problems
