So I found an old na city motor out at my dads been sitting for years i was supprised to find when I pulled it apart it is in good condition so this is the start of a 200hp city build I will post pictures as I go

So far the motor has been fully stripped the block has been acid dipped today i installed the new oil pressure sender and t fitting to run turbo oil feed next i will be giving it a hone out.

More to come and yes photos to come.

that sounds awesome mate.

be sure to let us know where you source parts/gaskets. be interested to know what piston/rings and bearings you use.

the receipts i received with my car suggest it has been rebuilt with some non-honda rings at some stage (with piston grind). dont know what though. i could ony find suzuki f6a rings that fit but you need to grind the piston for oil control ring.

i had the dream of hitting 200hp until i found how difficult it is. (i wanted 200hp atw haha)

Didn't 'Turbocab" do this many years ago before doing the D16 turbo upgrade, what i mean if im not mistaken is that he done a topic on a 200hp build, maybe it was someone else but either way it is quite achievable but 200whp is a different story, please tell me you are doing a 200whp build haha. I have covered a couple issues you will most likely come across when running higher boost levels in my post 'The City Life' but i haven't got any photos & detailed info when i had my motor rebuilt.

Was it this Thread? viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2909&hilit=200HP

Yes 200 HP at the wheels I know its not going to be easy but I think I will get there a lot of the work is going to custom thinking out of the box for an example I will be custom fitting an evo0 cas onto the end of the head and disposing of the ugly distributor so I can run individual coil packs link ecu bla bla its going to take a while but I think I will get there

Yeah thats the plan i have too but wasn't sure of the parts that will be needed to do a coil on plug setup, this has been in the pipe line for the last year or two for me. I almost bought a Link G4 Storm a few weeks back for this setup but thought i'd suss the other components out first, however my aim was 250 flywheel hp so i think that falls around the 200whp too, chances are you will beat me to it so best of luck with the build.

I dought it this will be a slow build. Slowly getting all the parts I need when they come along lucky thing is me and my mates have the means to do all the custom work so will save a lot of cash there hopfull custom rods and pistons and block guard will be in the works soon

I went onto the link website and found out what input triggers they needed to run so just going with that atm.

Sounds good, can't wait to see photos of the build.

Just do a turbo d series,all the cool kids are doin it

Haha yeah nice call.........................but i like the idea of seeing just how hard you can push the original motor for the car but hey chances are your've started a craze with the D series.

There's no challenge in turboing a d series to easy I want the challenge of the custom er motor

I must be getting lazy in my old age
Good luck with your build

Hey one thing you may want to do is change the N/A City oil pump to a Turbo one as they are abit bigger, also i heard block guards can cause heat spotting at the top of the bore but i guess if you want to make power then its needed. Any progress on the build?
