Whats up everyone?
My name is Michael been in the Honda scene since the early 2000. I left the scene for a few years and got into Jeeps. After building 2 nice rigs I had that turbo Honda itch again. Sold my 87 AMC Cherokee for a rough but good running 94 civic. Civic had been stolen and rebuild but needed a core support and a paint job. But what sold it was the GSR swap and the GSR transmission with a ls 5th.
I turboed it and had it tuned and it was good for about 6 months. Turned out the motor was in not so good shape when out of no where it spun a rod bearing. I had a friend that was building a LS block but his car had a tree fall on it in his driveway so he gave me the block and internals. Built a stock internal LSvtec. After almost a year I lost compression on cyl 1 and the motor started smoking. tuned out I destroyed the ring lands on piston 1 and piston 3 also had a cracked ring land. Installed pistons and rods and this is the motor that is in the car as of right now.
