Originally I wanted anything above 200HP at the wheels. I have a feeling this will be pushing past Dru's number of 360HP on his Drag ZX3...

Day 5

I had lots of time today to dink around with the car. I got sprayed in the face by the Freon in the A/C lines... and the block is out.

Well bad new to start off!! I pulled the head last time and I just looked it over and removed the intake manifold and water manifold off the head. Looking in the intake valves I found a seal and lots of oil blown into the system. Not impressed. So I guess that's what happens when a car sits for a year and then you run the snot out of it on first drive lol


I used 2 head bolts through the chain and bolted them to the block. Then used the engine hoist to apply pressure to the block to loosen the last few bolts off. The axle bearing bracket was a PITA and so what the Header and Alternator so if you are doing this don't forget to do them first lol


I got it broken free from the tranny. There was enough room to allow a block removal with out the need of the tranny coming out too.


There is that dam alternator...


Almost all out of the car. After I take the from suspension out I'm removing everything to the firewall and installing new aluminium heat resistant fabric and cover all line plus upgrading all the other lines to SS Braided. I don't need melted plastic with the heat that is going to be trapped back there.


Some random pictures






Here's a good picture of the block hanging right in front of another neck breaker.
I don't know much on civics but it is running the same turbo I have and a similar let up for exhaust. The engine is a Y??? single cam, fully built, over...,over sized pistons with 350 chevy head bolts that still lift at 23PSI. Boost come in at 3500RPM to 7000RPM 380HP and 300TQ at the wheels. Netronics tuned it.


That's it for now peeps. Tell me what you think so far guys.
