After a couple years of waiting.......I get to start my GSR build

[HatchVX]

After all the luck i have had with either my car getting totaled from other people stupidity, Or someone taking my original GSR motor. Or the king of them all buying a "sleeved block" only to find out it had stock CRV sleeve poorly installed, and the block was junk, I finally get to start my 2.0l GSR build. Here are some of the pics so far>>>>> First off the heart of the build.. 97 GSR block with Darton MID sleeves bored out to 84.5mm Then for the head it will be a GSR head. I have to get a new valve and some springs for it. For the Trans i will be using a 99 SI transmission

It has finally begun! I can't wait to see the madness! lemme kno if u need anything..


btw.. i think that valve cover needs powder coated

[HatchVX]

For the Oilling of this beast it will be a Stock GSR oil pump, with a 5 qt Moroso Steel pan with their pick up and studs. For the bearings i am going with ACL's.






For the intake i will be going with the Blox intake manifold with the Hondata intake manifold gasket.

[Running925]

awsome! keep those pix commin!!!

[HatchVX]

And for the rotational assembly i will be running a Type R Crank, 9.0:1 Wiesco Pistons, Eagle Rods, Stock B series flywheel, with a Compition Clutch (prob stage 2)














Hey Tony as for the valve cover I plan on sending one up with David when he goes to the meet.

thats a very good idea!

I'm glad to hear that you went with the wiseco's .. I'm planning to run the same bore on the dart block that i'm going to build in the upcomming months. This build is lookin pretty sick man! What compression are you shooting for?

[Chefboiali]

Happy for you man!!!! Good luck with everything!!!

I need a my valve cover powder coated, too.

[HatchVX]

Tmrw my Asembily lube and piston ring filer come in. I have to send back my headgasket cause the dipshit sent me a 84mm Golden Eagle HG not the 84.5 I told him to send. My goal is to have it running in about a month or so. I am so hyped up right now.

[HatchVX]

I forgot to put that (its been fixed) the Piston are 9.0:1

Could have gone a little higher but that will work out just fine... a little room for error never hurt anything.

I wanted to go with 8.5:1 but its going to be a couple of years till she the turbo so i still want to have some power NA

oh god.. idk if i could withstand the torcher of knowing i had a sleeved block and not be able to abuse for a couple years!

[HatchVX]

if i can come up with the money sooner then i will get it. Im gonna be running the Peakboost Top Mount Kit.

[Outxider]

looking good mayne. can't wait for the final product.

[fathergoat]

That's going to be sweet. Hope it all goes smooth, good luck


I might also be bringing a valve cover to the meet

[Running925]

Whats wiseco's part number on those pistons.. I can kinda see it in the picture but the glare is covering the first parts.

I pulled up wiseco's website & the pdf that they have for the honda/acura pistons & you have 4 digits befor the "m", most of their pistons go "K###M###" The numbers after the M signify the bore.

http://wiseco.com/PDFs/Catalogs/SC07/AcuraHonda.pdf

I'm interested in looking at the spec's on them for my other project.

[HatchVX]

the part number for the piston is 6545m845.

Finished building the short block today, Thou i still have a few things still to put on.

[raiden571]

awesome man. just take your time when your putting it all together, you will thank yourself later. also, i might be selling my turbo soon. i can already tell that it is too much for what i want to do with the car

[HatchVX]

Well tonight i tore down the head to get it ready for the supertech Springs with Ti Retainers and Supertech valves. Well i was examining the head i found that the previous owner at one point pack this head with packing peanuts. So i spent a good 30min picking out peanuts from the coolent ways. It getting excited, it will be coming together pretty soon.

[Running925]

haha damn those peanuts!

[Civic2Scooby]

I would have gone with clevite bearings..but that's just me.

[Running925]

pix of head?

[HatchVX]

I'll take some when i get home, i have to pack it up tonight so that i can bring it into work so i can clean it up in the parts washer. I dont have any pics of the head with the peanuts in it.

[HatchVX]

Here are some pics of the head after i cleaned it up.

[Running925]

looks pretty damn good!

[HatchVX]

Just got done putting my head together.




Damn they sent me a box full of popsicles.....


When did they get rid of the wood popsicles sticks????


Look at that its a valve.....





What i went with is the Supertech Dual valve springs with Ti retainers, and the Supertech Low Comp black nitrate valves.

[Civic2Scooby]

pics of springs...

[HatchVX]

I forgot to take pics b4 i installed them, here are some pics of the website i got them from.

Ok i a question, Do LS and GSR motors use the same Exhaust Manifold?? Im looking at getting a header, and i found a cheap one (no need for an expensive one) but its for the LS. So i need to know if it will work on my GSR.
