well, jp.. looks like you won't be disappointed... apparently 2 hours is too far to frive for a "junker"... even though we're talking a rwd turbo'd junker.

anyway, I've been thinking about it and there's a good chance that I'll end up just swapping to a 5-speed and boosting my d16... from the looks of it, my dad's never going to f**king order that b18. So now I get to do a boost build out of my own pocket.

anyway, if anybody remembers that t4-04 Volvo turbo I had a while back, I'm buyin it back from my friend for $50... he gave up on finding flanges for it and ordered a different turbo from ebay. I'll probably end up ordering a FMIC in the next month too... hopefully with my next paycheck (in two weeks)

 

ahhh tight sounds good

 

Quick question about my turbo build... I'm looking for about 200hp at the wheels... what size injectors should I get? Would 440's do? Or should I go for 550's or 720's?

*edit: and my dad is seriously pissing me off now... I found a '93 hatch in pittsburgh that a guy is selling for parts (car doesn't run) for $150. I was thinking buy it for $150, use it as a donor car for my transmission swap (meaning a full swap for $150+the cost of a new clutch kit), part it out and sell what's left to a scrapyard. Of course, my dad won't go along with it... so I start getting pissed at him and say about how it's bad enough he's refusing to let me get a full swap, now he won't let me get what I need to swap my transmission out of my own pocket... and what does he say? "I'm not refusing to buy that engine"... bull****! So why isn't the thing ordered yet? I got the go-ahead to buy an engine swap well over a month ago, and here I am, slowly piecing what I'll need for the trans. conversion with my own money![sm=headbang.gif]

 

150bucks for a hatch ..... hell ya you better go borrow all the money you can and go get that dam thing quick! you can easily get that money back for the whole trip by parting out whats good that you dont want!!!!!!!!

hell i wish i could find a hatch within driving range that cheap!

 

^ I have the money, the problem is the car doesn't run, so I'd have to trailer it... and my dad refuses to use his truck to drive a 3-4 hour round trip to pick up a car for me. And I know I could get a ton of money parting the car out... from what the guy has posted on the craigslist ad, it's the whole car... meaning quite a few parts to sell.

Anyway, I'm honestly not sure whether I'm swapping to the b18c or just doing a trans. swap/turbo build. I think I'm going to give my dad until next weekend to order the b18, and if he won't order the swap by then, I'll go ahead and start buying things for the trans. swap/turbo build.

And a little update here:
the manual pedals are in


Quick question though,

on the clutch pedal assembly, what's the white plug for/where does it go to and the same with the yellow plug... anybody know offhand?

 

the yellow is the starter kill sensor,
and the white one is for the cruise control so it will kill the CC if ya touch the pedal.

then look into a friends truck, and renting a cheap Uhaul either car dolly if the rear wheels are good or a full car trailer..... and go get that sucker!

tell your dad youll never find a deal like that! hell the seats alone can go for 100bucks!

 

Thanks for the info on the plugs... I take it I'll need to track down an interior wire harness for everything?

Anyway, I'll keep talking to my dad about the car... I know I can get more than $150 just in parts, and I already have my grandparents' permission to sit a car on their land (they live in the middle of the woods and I talked to them a while back about storing a car at their house when I was looking at getting that '95 integra for parts)... I'll see if I can't talk him into it. Hell, the guy selling it might even be able to trailer/tow it to my house.

 

hell ya money talks.... try to get that sucker quick cause it wont last long!

 

I'll try.. hell, I can probably sell the rolling chassis for $500 or so. I can garuntee someone around here would love to start building an EG hatch.


here's the ad (copied/pasted from CL):

Two-door hatchback; 5-speed; Doesn't run, battery is dead. Car has been sitting for three years. Many good mechanical and body parts. Must take whole car. After parting out, you can get back the sale price for the scrap metal alone. Must take car before March 31. This is a re-post. Please respond again if you replied to previous post and got no reply. I accidently deleted my inbox. If possible, please leave phone number. Thanks

 

ya id hurry up and try to ****** that up!
that sounds like a steal!
