Right on man, there is the difference, you will be racing a lot more than myself. Cant afford it.

I love boosted D's!!

- Mon Feb 11, 2008 6:55 pm #41845 nice. do you already have the stuff in mind as far as what your going to do to the block? like block gaurd or sleeve it? cpr?

I just got my block back, golden eagle sleeved+some wiseco and eagle goodies. going for a mid to high +500hp drag tune, and 300-350hp street tune. i predict many broken axles and tranny's in the future. possibly for you as well since your going for 400hp haha

- Mon Feb 11, 2008 7:06 pm #41849 well my ideas were: block guard(cant afford sleeves), vitera 20mm oversized 8.5-1 forged pistons, eagle h-beam rods, arp main studs, oem honda or clevlitte bearings, and do some work to the crank like micropolishing and shit. it will be fully balanced as well. for the head i was going to do supertech valvtrain with a crower cam and some porting.

as far as the axles go. i plan on using a jdm twin cam zc oem lsd. with that you can use 90-93 integra axles and intermidiate shaft. so im going to buy some real strong teg axles. i might also do hasport replacement mounts. but i need some suspension work and body work before i build the motor. so im doing that first but for now stock+ turbokit is enough about 225whp :thumb:

very nice. i love vitara set ups. i just need a set of arp head studs, and i'm almost done. just had the crank polished and balanced. i'm stayin with the stock valves, but i have crower springs and ti retainers, and just ordered the comp/zex 59300 cam last night. hopefully i can get to the port work this week and get it all assembeled. but i also have all oem oil pump water pump timing belt, belt tensioner, and head gasket. good luck with your build i love to hear of other people building d-series motors.
