Well my boosted b16 had a few piston rings take a dump and now its time for a rebuild. I figure if Im going to tear the thing apart I might as well shell out the cash and build it to make a little more power. Ive always wanted to build a block for some extra security and a little extra boost but I really wasnt planning on doing it this soon. Im making my first purchase tomorrow, its a 1994 geo metro that will be my beater car while my Si is under the knife. The geo will eventually be turboed until it blows up followed by a built and boosted ls motor that will make that thing a rocket. Anyways, I will be doing the following modifications to my car over the next 2 months.
Tuner toys rods
srp or cp pistons 9.0:1 cr 81mm bore
arp headstuds
mls headgasket
My current turbo setup includes a greddy 18g turbo, greddy log manifold, greddy downpipe, custom made piping w/ spearco intercooler, greddy type-s bov, tuner toys 440cc injectors, p28 ecu tuned with crome. The turbo setup will be getting:
bigger (750cc) injectors
test pipe to replace the stock cat
2.5" downpipe to replace the 2" greddy downpipe
new oil pan with a better tap
boost controller (not sure what kind yet)
I will start buying parts in the next couple days Ive already got the headgasket, the headstuds will probably be next. I will most likely wait till I can afford to get retuned before buying the 750cc injectors. Im hoping to make around 250whp on 10 psi daily and 300whp on 15psi once built. I will be taking pics of everything as it comes in and carnage pics of the motor getting torn apart to document this exciting build. Any suggestions on anything are more than welcome. I will be having the help of a somewhat experienced engine builder and motor swapper along the way so I should be in good hands but Im sure I'll have questions for the experts on here from time to time. This weekend we should really start tearing things apart so there should be some good updates come sunday night.

Hey man, Im watching this thread. looks good, looking forward to more pics. Not sure on the colour, maybe a blue? Black and red go together, but a black engine is boring.

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread too. That picture with the oil/coolant mixture is great and horrible at the same time. If I ever see any liquid close to that, I'll know at least one problem

I also am watching the thread, as far as color I'd try to keep it stockish looking, maybe a red valve cover and a nice polished intake manifold or something.
