When I removed the crossmember from the elantra at the juckyard, it was pretty disgusting. Had surface rust everywhere along with grease/dirt and the works so I had it sandblasted. Looks new! :





Also the front and rear engine mounts were pretty soft, so I filled em with urethane adhesive. They don't make aftermarket mounts so I really had no choice... There nice and firm now!!

 

Here's a random vid of us cutting a hole for the side mount intercooler....

I really like build threads. Keep it up!

 

Cant say it is Sexy lol!! but beast for sure, if you have any DSM questions PM me, I can help out with the DSM stuff for sure!!!

 

Yeah it looks like a hackjob now lol, but IT WILL GET THERE!! One thing about me is despite it's irrelivence to performance I love when my engine bay looks like it came out the factory. I'm going to take advantage of the empty bay to clean and repaint it and tuck as many lines as I can...



Here's a pic of my old civic, and the engine never left the car:

 

This build is all kinds of awesome!

 

^ best quote i've seen in a while



I could stand in that civics engine bay with the motor.



Really like the build man, not to many people going this far anymore.

 

So the shifter set up was a little tricky but I figured it out. I'd expect some people to do this step differently but this way worked for me, and this way I can install a short shifter in the future by keeping the main components of the DSM shifter using the Huyndai shifter bracket. I'll post a video up with further explaination.

Here's the video, hope it gives you guys a better idea:

So here I am preparing the head to go to the machine shop. Removing the valvesprings was wicked easy with this special tool I bought specifically for the 4G63 heads.





Got my headstuds in...





Greddy Type-S BOV... I know this isn't the best one I'll upgrade this if it leaks like alot of them do...





16G Turbo for now...





Scored a nice set of BC springs and retainers from a freind upgrading to dual springs, so now just wondering what cams to go with. Was looking into a 264/272, or just go 272/272. Any suggestions on cams guys?

 

Got the head back from the machine shop, very happy :biggrin:









Just waiting on my BC valvesprings/retainers and cams...
