#44818 Hi my name is Damon I prefer Nomad.. I am purchasing a 92 Hatch with a GSR engine already swapped in.

Looks to have a lot of mods, but sure does need some tlc.

Getting it for 2800$!!

First thing i plan to do is park it in my project car area(in front of the parents motor home).

Pull the motor, rebuild. Get some stronger internals. Then slap this thing that make my life worth living on it aka a turbo.

First honda, second project car.

I am 17, dad owns a machine shop. I make bank for a 17 y/o.

First car was a beater corsica, second car was a 87 BMW 325es. Which evenutally i swapped in a stroker that dyno'd at 210whp. I am guessing it really only had around 180. Sold that to a veedub guy. Made bank off it. Got $600 more then what i put into it. Total sale price was $3500

Looking for better mpg and still small car and still have performance. Note, I was getting around 16mpg with the bimmer.

Anyways, any suggestions on a good place to start with different turbo setups? I am looking for around 250-300whp. One thing i am really going to love is the effectiveness of 8500rpms!! lame bimmers can't go over 7k or you break a rocker arm.

Will get pictures when i purchase, waiting for the guy to put the head back on so i can drive it home..

Also if you got a center console please pm me.

Oh my ride that i am buying is flat black. I will get pictures tomorrow when I drive it home.

Most of the civic's out here are rice. But if you go down to rocky mountain raceway on open runs night, there is plenty of them. Mr. Green lives here, how you can expect to not see a 9 sec civic? :roll:

Hope you guys are like all the rest of the interwebz forumz peeps.

Here is an example:

#45103 you can make 250-300 easily on a B16... all you need is injectors, pistons and arp rod bolts an headstuds and a decent turbo kit. :woot:

#45324 Well i picked it up :twisted:

Damn this thing is fun :lol:

I have rode in a integra gsr, but no weight + gsr = oh my god you can feel the vtec kick in!!

Haha first things firt, get rid of that stupid loud ass muffler!

Any suggestions on a really really quite muffler?

I just need a temporary quiet muffler till i go turbo. I know what muffler to use on turbo. Friend has his old one off his BMW turbo, it was quiet as hell.

Anyways, so far i have gotten the police's attention, wasted an eclipse turbo, kept up with a sti. And i still haven't learned to shift it quick..

But i also love the low end torque, fifth gear up a hill that usually have to take in fourth in any other car is amazing.

I lub this car!! :woot:

it will also be good for a turbo set-up since it deletes the cat.
