i just got a 01 last august with over 300Km's on it and it run's and look's like new, for the most part it's a tank. like kryptonite Said just make sure it's been maintained and your good.
only thing is the newer Vortec have a few noises like lifter tapping and/or Piston Slap, youtube it.
i just let mine warm up in the morning.
Lifter tapping is easy, piston slap = time for a rebuild

Drop an SR20DE into it

Looks alright, how much power?
-
Port and box are too small.
Shoot for 2-2.25 cubes after displacement, general rule of thumb for port size is 12-16^2" per cubic foot.

55w is gonna be brighter than shit.

I love budget builds, because thats how mine started.
My truck (1989 Dodge D150) had a radio/cassette and a pair of 21 year old stock components. Bought a pair of Rockford 5x7s and a used alpine deck. My amps were hand me downs and my first sub was 1 12" Walmart Pioneer. I imagine you will start off better, however haha.
If you are looking for a cheap but loud substage, I would recommend looking at the Skar VVX 12s.
They have a deal right now for 2 12" subs and a custom dual ported box to your specs for $359.99 shipped. I haven't personally heard these subs, but from the Youtube vids I have seen, they look like some solid equipment, especially for the price.
Also, some pretty decent true power amps are the Audiopipe AP series. They have 10001D, 15001D, 18001D, and 30001D. they are pretty close to true power, and the 1000, 1500, 1800, and 3000 watts are RMS value. I have the 15001D in my truck and it looks to be able to do about 1200 to 1300 RMS at 1 ohm. Not to mention I bought mine from Ebay for $150 shipped.
Just a couple of products to look at to get started that I find pretty good deals. Feel free to look at other products and compare, you will find something you like.
Skar's I've been looking into.
I've had Audiopipe before, meh. SQ was junk. My old rf bd1500 at 1ohm was cleaner sounding (was only specced for 1500wrms at 2ohms). Either way, the new Audiopipe products are junk and not built like their old stuff.

Well, here goes. Got a new car. 1993 Dodge Colt lolz...
So far, just has front 4" speakers, ripping out the JVC deck it came with and probably throw in my Eclipse CD5000...
Substage, dunno yet...

I'm trying to find easy ways to save money on my car projects so I can do more modifications more frequently. Typically, I am a firm believer in "You get what you pay for." However, is a $200 to $300 ram air intake really necessary for an engine that won't yield high results to begin with (GA16DE)? I am only hoping to gain a few horsepower. It's mostly just for fun. So, my question is: Am I a fool to buy a $40 to $50 intake kit off ebay or am I just a smart shopper?
Opinions please!
Modify an ebay intake into a ram air

Only if you want the 4ga wire to melt and possibly burn your car down. Spend the $100-150 and get a quality 1/0 wire kit.

Maybe she'll get ya something better

Would greatly help tuning with a turbo setup... Piggyback system, almost like a standalone but isn't.
i already know about this and from what i understand, it doesn't do what needs to be done. You still cannot tune this ECU. The piggy back is close but not close enough, with this car. Yet.
Alright, it offers fuel/ignition tuning which is basically all you'll need for a turbo setup
Be nice to have a wideband setup.

This build is no longer...Car is being sold tonight.

The flexing of my panels ( Sucking in and out ).... my trunk wobbles ( I have Dynamat & I've reenforcced welded my trunk lid bars - NO HELP )

So backseats are going back in... System will be coming in a few months when tax return comes in. Probably gonna be 2 10"s off 1-1.5kw rms. Will have a decent frontstage with a set of Hertz components and will be using my current Eclipse CD5000 deck.
Only pics to date, lolz.

i plan on boosting a b18 but most of the blocks im looking at on Ebay and what not look like complete monkey shit, other than looking inside the cylinder walls for cracks what else should i look at?
They are the best of blocks to boost, thanks to an open deck design. Great motor to build for N/A though
no open deck block is good to boost..... thin cylinder walls..... a great block to boost is a fully closed deck..... have it sleeved and put bout 25 psi to it (with proper internals and standalone ecu and such) and you will have a QUICK car.
me personally im not a honda person...dont have anything against them but i like my subaru.
btw isnt the k20 the most powerful out of the box? thats what i was told lol i heard they are hard to find aftermarket parts for though n thats why no one uses them.....
idk...
Sorry about that. I had mean't they aren't the best block to boost right off the bat.

IMO, I wouldn't do a full dual exhaust, you'll lose sooo much lowend with that. Have a single pipe run to the rear and y-pipe it to give it the "dual exhaust" look.
-
Might want to check timing and see if it jumped a tooth as another possibility.
I was thinking more ignition timing, but with a coilpack it'd use a crank or cam sensor. Also another thing to look into.
-
Plugs gapped correctly? Proper heat range? Timed right? It's missing. May have a faulty coilpack.
-
If I were to "free air break in" a sub... I would play a test tone at the woofer's resonant frequency on my home receiver. I hook up my laptop that has a tone generator to the receiver and increase volume until the sub is moving around half of it's xmax.
Playing at the Fs of a woofer will cause it to not move as much, and in theory heat up the coil pretty quickly due to little air movement in the pole vent.

I have a few questions about my first system...

DD-1 this DD-1 that. FUcks sake everyone, as long as he isn't overpowering like crazy, sets it by ear and conservatively, no harm done.
Hell, even an old school o-scope will do the same job as a DD-1
