damn. thats a lot of motor for 3k. good luck hope there isnt anything awry

 

Thanks.
He "says" it had 170-176 compression that he did when he pulled it.
Plugs look good, looks maybe a little rich. Oil was still in the motor, looks a pretty normal black.

The kid I bought it from lives with his parents and handed me over $10k just in receipts for the motor. Said he spent over $25k on the whole car.
His parents have a very nice house. He said he just wanted out of the honda scene. He has a 06 GTO with a shit load of mods.
Showed me his dyno sheet for that car and it made 567whp, and he just installed a 300 shot of NOS. Thing sounds nasty.


I'm excited to get the motor in the car. Hoping there's no issues.

 

B16 is just about out.
Gotta go pick up a new passenger axle and a few supplies.

 

might as well make a build thread out of it, post some picks of the process!:cheers:

 

Decided to wait for my catch can before I install the new motor.

Also, the GSR block is missing a coolant line to the IACV. Not sure what I'm going to do about that.
It comes from the solid coolant piping that runs on the back of the motor to the thermostat. The b16 block has a valve on that piping for the IACV, this block doesn't.

 

Think I will just block off the coolant lines to it. No cold weather here to worry about.

 

Update on my progress....if anyone cares. :P



Just ordered 4 -10 AN 90 degree fittings for the valve cover:





10 feet of -10 AN black nylon hose:




2 of these catch cans:





And last night I picked up two of these..

 

Ex brake swap is on. Motor is ready to put in. Probably wait until Sat.

 

serious build is serious

 

motor is in. still need to flush all the fluids and get the catch cans hooked up.
tomorrow!
