Copper head gasket wouldn't seal so I scrapped it. I was going to O-Ring the head but no machine in my area would do it.

My current setup still in the works, still need to make the intercooler piping. The top mount is a tight fit.

Hell of a lot better looking/faster than my econobox.

Nice build!

[4g63tcrazy]

Holy shit. Nice work! I like seeing something different.

[123abc]

Nice setup! Any videos?

[hawaiifiveoh]

Definitely cool, keep up the good work...any idea of times/power?

[16G_tsi_awd]

Oh hell yea! Looks good. Who made the intake and exhaust mani's for ya.

[redline6k]

Ive been in the process of a mini restore of this car.

Started with the fuel tank.

Went from this
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/redline6k/020.jpg
To this
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/redline6k/001-24.jpg

Then I started on the rear suspension. Most of the bushings where shot and a couple of the ball joints were bad too. I went to the dealer and they said the rear ball joints are not serviceable. After some time on the internet doing research I found that the front ball joints could be used in the rear.


Started with this rusty pile.

[Sean485]

Why do you have a non-awd, awd chassi with a 4g37?

[4g63tcrazy]

WOW. That is really wierd.. Do you realise you're car is/was an AWD car? I wish I looked down and found that out about my FWD! If I were you, I'd put it back to AWD in a heart beat!

[redline6k]

I was looking for a new shell and I couldn't find any FWD's in good condition or in my price range. I was on craigslist one day and found a 92 eagle talon tsi awd auto for $400. It wouldn't start it needed a ecu. So I put a ecu in it drove it for the summer. Then in the winter I parted it out maybe double what I payed for it parting it out. Now its the new home for my 4G37

[Sean485]

Wow, nothing personal... but thats kind of a waste of an awd chassi. If you are dead set on the 4g37 why not try and find a flywheel that will bolt to the '37 crank and work with the awd bell housing and keep the car awd?

[redline6k]

I don't see it as a waste because I'm restoring a AWD chassis and saved it from being junked, because the guy I but it from was gonna junk it the week I bought it. So maybe if one day I find a clean fwd shell ill put the 4G37 in the FWD and put one of my 4G63's in the AWD.

[hawaiifiveoh]

Eh, do your thing, looks like you are gonna have a nice little build going.

[redline6k]

The rear end is back in.

Tomorrows project after work is the fuel system and exhaust.

[kronus]

Uh... totally run that as a 1.8 AWD! Geeze, if you have the money for custom pistons for that motor, you might as well throw some at a custom flywheel and make use of that AWD. Any sound clips?

[4g64fiero]

WTF is happening here?!?! :freakout:

Got the fuel system done this weekend -6AN feed and return line. Don't have pics of the lines installed since its hard to get a good shot.

SS braided line and black -6AN fittings. Along with some new tools I bought to keep my fittings looking nice.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/redline6k/001-28.jpg

The must need tools if you going to do a lot a AN work.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/redline6k/003-22.jpg

I got the exhaust on just need to weld a hanger on the muffler but the rain put a stop to that. I'll get that done when the weather clears up. I love the look of the muffler looks kinda stock.

[4g64fiero]

400whp 4g37?

11 sec 4g37?

[redline6k]

Rained all day today. Finally got a break in the weather late this afternoon. I jumped on the weather opportunity and got my down pipe finally finished. Don't mind the band clamp it's gonna get a v-band I just didn't have any more.

[redline6k]

Tiny progress update.

Got the downpipe welded up and painted it flat black for the sleek look lol.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/redline6k/003-23.jpg

Once i finished that the UPS guy came with my fuel filter fitting and I made my filter to rail line. Also did the oil return line.

[jjrock5]

Wow, amazing. I used to love my lil 1.8. My first car. I'm loving all the customizing man.

[redline6k]

Got the intercooler kit in today. Got the intercooler mounted and the piping mocked up. Just gotta do the finish welding and it will be done, but I'm going to wait for the bov to come in before I do that

Got out of work early today. I decided I might as well knock out painting the engine bay. I Bought some paint and got to it.

^^^Damn that looks way better. What kind of paint did you use? Sprayed with a gun?

[redline6k]

Limco 4 enamel paint then Limco clear both sprayed with a HVLP gun.

[redline6k]

Got the block O-ringed today and also got my crank sensor mounted.

[CrackedDSM]

Do you have any times AT ALL for the previous set-up? You claim worlds fastest 4G37, but no times anywhere? Not being a dick, just curious. I hate when people claim to be the fastest, but put no times, mph, or horsepower numbers up.

On topic, the build looks awesome, keep up the good work.

[Sean485]

Why didn't you remove all the lines and such from the engine bay before spraying? It looks like a good paint job but its sloppy with the overspray everywhere IMO.

[redline6k]

Hockey Pucks FTW!!!

I was originally going to go with Avid Racing Front and rear mounts. After getting a quote of $225 I scraped that idea. I had some hockey pucks laying around and they fit perfectly.

Custom valve springs came in today. Came in pretty damn fast considering I ordered them on last Friday.

[123abc]

Nice! What kind of hp numbers are you hoping for?

[redline6k]

Nice! What kind of hp numbers are you hoping for?

Anything over 300whp would be nice.

[123abc]

After all that work I'd be expecting 450 whp. Good luck!

[4g64fiero]

I wonder what that crank will be able to handle.

[redline6k]

Megasquirt's modded and relay boards done. Going in the car tomorrow.

[redline6k]

Car is getting closer and closer to running. My ETA to get it up and running is mid july. I installed my alternator relocation in as well as my Saturn 105 amp alternator.

[yangtech]

That's a nice build. Keep up the good work.

[4g63tcrazy]

Gotta ask.. Why keep the rear diff in there? Seems to me like it would be dead weight/rotating weight. Just remove the diff and axles and save yourself some extra weight.

[4g64fiero]

Because its gonna stay AWD.

[redline6k]

Gotta ask.. Why keep the rear diff in there? Seems to me like it would be dead weight/rotating weight. Just remove the diff and axles and save yourself some extra weight.

The rear diff has to stay in there because it supports the rear suspension.

[4g63tcrazy]

Hmm I guess I never really looked that closely at it.. Probably doesn't help that I own a FWD car either. Haha

[redline6k]

Either did I. I was going to leave it out till I noticed it supports the rear suspension.

[redline6k]

Well after 3 days of non stop working on the car. I got quite a bit of work done on the car. Some of the wiring took longer then expected but its done right so that's all that matters. Got all the underhood stuff done except for the vaccum hoses, powersteering belt, hose and coolant overflow. Next weeks project is to get the interior all done and mount the megasquirt ecu and relay board. Hopefully I will firing it up soon. A few pics of the almost finished engine bay. I'm thinking about adding a EVO style hood vent over the turbo to help lower under hood temps.

Lookin clean. Are you going with speed density?

[DKPR87]

This has got to be the most unique build i've ever seen, you know your a pioneer right? If you prove this makes good power then it'll show that Honda single's aren't the only good single's out their.

Good Luck Man!!! and post some videos dude, i want to hear this beast

[redline6k]

Ya I'm using speed density.
