you can still gut the 3gee

Well if your rolling on the floor laughing than I allready did.
Yeah I'm getting another A20A3 rebuilt for it, as well as a head.
Bore over as little as possible to keep the cylinder wall strenght, wedge the crank, b series rods, 8.2:1 compression pistons.
Head P&P, new larger valves not sure what size yet, stronger springs, and 282 or 292 cam. ADJ cam gear.

I read that a stock camshaft is the best for turbo, i might be wrong though. I like what you have planned but its going to cost like 5k to do all of that. Good luck.

[MessyHonda]

you can also shave down a camshaft

Oh I know its gonna be pricey I've been preparing for this build for 4 years, I'm expecting to spend about 10k mabey more. I just payed 700 for gauges.

does it run?

[speedpenguin]

No. It stopped working the night before I picked up the teg. It cranks and fires, but won't start. Not even if you spray fuel straight into the carb. I'd try to figure out why, but I can't keep the car anyway, and I don't feel like dropping 6Gs on bodywork even if I could, so...

Well I got one of my three AEM gauges today. Its a digital oil pressure gauge, its so awesome! I also got about 80% done installing the new trans. I ruined one of the CV seals so I need to wait til Monday to go back to Honda and get the right one. I'll post pics tommorrow when it's light out.

Cant wait to see it done. Make sure you clean up the seal and oil it with the oil your going to use in the tranny. This way it goes in smoother.

[Bglad420]

They come pre greased from Honda. I got it all bolted up and everything is ready, well almost....


Left to do to get it on the road again:
Buy the right engine oil, I wasn't paying attention and bought 5w20 instead of 5w30.
Pick up my new positive battery cable, I moved it to the rear while I had it out.
Get new speed sensor.


Then its off to get the cage installed.

When i changed mine, only the left side was greased, the right side wasnt.

Are you serious, your getting a cage. What are you going to be running for suspension? If you have not figured out just yet, PM and I will tell you something I am working on right now (trying to keep it a secret untill I figure it out). It might be worth your while to wait. BTW Very good build and I can't wait to see it get done.
