Alittlelessordinary's 4dr GSR Build Thread

fuck yea.....looks damn nice

12/25/09: Santa came and brought me a couple goodies!! I got a Benen fuel rail and a Go-Autowrks vacuum manifold. The fuel rail is gold, but will be going to powder coater to be color matched to my valve cover. The vacuum manifold is black and will be hidden under my wiper cowl I believe




12/26/09: Its time to start building a transmission!!! I picked up a GSR transmission tonight that has a bad 3rd gear slider. I am going to pick up another transmission later this month from another friend that has a LSD in it. Going to combine the 2 along with some other goodies and have 1 nice transmission lol. I'll post pics up tomorrow once daylight shows its face again

im just wondering are you going to put the lower timing cover on.btw looks good

Lower timing cover has been put on since pictures were posted. I thought I had lost mine and was just about to buy a brand new one from Acura, went to my garage to find something and ended up finding the timing cover lol. Never did find what I went in there for originally.

lookin tits..cant wait to see it out this summer

12/27/09: Today I put the Benen Industries fuel rail on the motor just for mock up. It will be going to the powder coater in the coming weeks. I also sprayed the transmission that I picked up yesterday down with some oven cleaner, let it soak for a while and then hosed it down. Pictures don't really do it any justice. Oh yeah tossed in a picture of the Go-Autoworks vacuum manifold as well.

1/4/10: Starting the new decade off with powder coated goodies!! I dropped these off before xmas, but with the holidays just now got them back, no big deal. I am happy with how they turned out. Got the following parts done:

Thermostat Housing (Silver)
Water Tube (Black)
Strut Forks (Black)

1/5/10: Placed another order with local Honda dealer today. Just picking up stupid little odds and ends to finally wrap up the motor. Ordered thermostat and all the bolts to bolt it together and to the block. For anyone wondering why I am using oem Honda bolts, its because 1. They are the correct size, 2. They are brand new and 3. They are pennies on the dollar lol

1/6/10: Buddy of mine had an extra knock sensor laying around, I asked if he wanted to get rid of it. Sure enough he did, got it with the plug for free!!

Knock Sensor and Plug:




Sensor and plug cleaned up:




Sensor installed on block:

1/7/10: Order from Honda came in today. Its nothing major, but one of the little things that I feel better getting out of the way now.

Thermostat and Bolts:

I must be super cool then cause I got parts in every room of our house, litterally lol

1/16/10: Well today I got something I had been waiting on for 4 months now lol. No its not a clutch, its not a set of Drive Shaft Shop 1000hp axles, no its not that Bullseye Power turbo I plan on getting....you guessed it, its my Baby On Board stickers lmfao!! I got not 1 but 2 of these bad boys, and to make it even better, I got a portable bottle warmer. This badboy plugs in the cigarette lighter and heats bottles on the go lmfao!!

Oh yeah I also got the upper alternator bracket bolts that I ordered from Honda a couple days ago:

1/17/10: Janurary in Ohio, gotta love it!! Nothing else to do so I started tearing apart the stock engine harness to get it ready for tucking. Figured it was easiest to mock it up while its out of the car. I noticed I am not gonna be using a couple plugs due to the Victor X not having places for all the stock sensors.

Here is the harness mocked up on engine stand after cutting the old tape and loom off. I haven't started to "tuck" it yet, just got everything mounted and labled so I know what plug goes where.




Heres some of the old tape and loom that will no longer be needed. You would be suprised just how sticky this shit is 15 years later lol.




I already have some tube shrink and wire laying around from the gf's CRX wire tuck. I will be ordering flame retardent kevlar loom for the entire harness next month most likely.

1/18/10: My buddy whom I bought my transmission off of went through his box of transmission parts yesterday. In that box he found several sliders, which is what is wrong with my transmission. Freebie!!! Hopefully one of these bad boys is the correct one, we shall see once I tear my trans apart.

Thanks AJ!!

lol welcome hopefully they work

1/25/10: Well since I am going to be doing my wire tucked engine harness this coming weekend, I figured I might as well start buying supplies. I found these nifty little things at Radio Shack, wire labels. You know the same thing that Rywire and Chasebays charge $100 bucks extra to do? Yeah those same things that cost me $2.34 after tax for 24 of them.

I also ordered 10ft of 1/4 in and 10ft of 1/2 in Flame Retardant Kevlar wire loom from www.cableorganizer.com

1/28/10: One hell of a deal falls into my lap today. A buddy falls into shitty luck and is forced to sell his Full Blown Twin Walbro setup. This setup goes intank which is nice since I really don't wanna hassle with running an intank and inline pump, plus I don't want to run an external pump like a Weldon or Aeromotive and just have it hanging under my car. We'll just say the price I paid for this is what the hanger sells for alone

nice deal ya got man

1/29/10: Wire tuck supplies...check!! The kevlar loom that I ordered came today.
