Default project ghetto d this summer

well, a friend and i decided to go ghetto this summer. were gonna run 15psi on a d15 non vtec.right now were hunting for a blown crx or early civic that atleast has fuel injection. so heres the plan. were gonna get the block and have it honed, i have a friend whos a machinist so he can help us with all that for cheap. then, instead of sleeving, were gonna make our own with liquid aluminum then drill holes for the coolant. next well get some ls rods and have them machined to our liking and have them shot peened. next are some vitara pistons, good for 15-20 psi. we will probably have the crank micropolished and checked out to be sure. one of the more expensive things will be new bearings, gaskets etc, but well work that out when it comes. for fuel, well probably run dsm 450's with a resistor box and use uberdata. we'll use the hf manifold welded to a 14b flange and find a 14b at a local junkyard or online, ive seenthem go for about $80. i have spare ic piping laying around from doing my current turbo project. i can also pick up two dsm bovs for about 50 bux, twin bovs sounds cool, and beter then compressor surge. for the intercooler were thinking maybe a dsm SMIC with homemade water injection, or possibly just a starion intercoler. some things we havent worked out yet, but thats what we have planned for the basics. should be a fun lil project this summer. we hope to spend less then 1500 all together, wich is quite possible, granted we find the car we need. once it gets started, ill make a big writeup for all the ghettoness
