Hey every one. Ive had my wagon a couple of monts now and i figured id post up the details of what im starting and ill throw in pics as stuff comes in and progresses. Anyway I have a 88 civic wagovan 300,000+ miles on it and still runnin. Picked her up for 500 and drove her home with ac :D . So far for the build ive got my a6 block, y8 head and mani, aem fuel rail, and supertech valves. My arp head studs, kms block guard, fj distributing custom length rods, 75.5mm vitaras, and acl bearings are all on the way from fj distributing. I should be ordering my supertech valve springs and retainers soon. Still have a ways to go before shes done but she will get there. Ill try to post pics when I get home cause my work computer wont let me get on any hosting website and the pics are too big at the moment so tonight they should be up. anyway thanks for looking

    Picked up a couple of new toys over the past couple of days. I picked up some speaker pods from unlimited02 and a my pass side mirror from oxbeard should be comming in soon. I picked up a rear camber kit off ebay for 9.99 shipped. I also found some older bosch amber fog lights bnib off of ebay too. Picked those up for 27 and they look like there gonna be almost perfect. My friend whos gonna tune my wago once shes turbo got me my chipped obd1 ecu. Just a stock p28 map for now. I picked up a used obd0 to obd1 jumper harness locally for 30 about a week ago too. Then last but not least are my Ferrea exhaust valves. Well anyway ill post pics tomorrow of the new toys and thanks to anyone for lookin or readin my post.

    wow, good parts and stuff.
  • ls_ef_juggalols_ef_juggalo New Wagonist
    Well got bored this weekend and the wagos gettin some stuff done to it. My friend and I decided to slap my y8 head on this weekend. So we did the dpfi to mpfi conversion and also the obd0 to obd1 conversion along with converting one of the obd2 dizzy shells I had down to obd1 then depining it for the obd0 harness. It was fun. Gotta couple of tweaks here and there that have to be done but she already runs. Also cleared most of the clutter out of the bay like the aftermarket ac system that took a crap the other day and the ps pump lines cooler and resivor. Anyway ill put an update on how it drives once its all buttoned up.
  • ls_ef_juggalols_ef_juggalo New Wagonist
    Havent had a chance to take a pic of the bay but its dirty still anyway. I picked up a skunk2 adj. cam gear today for 40 bucks to correct the half a tooth the timing is off with the mini me setup so i figured i post a pic of that.

We mounted them yesterday and I figured I would post a couple of pics. Also i had some 3000k hids layin around from a buddies car so I threw them in while I was in there for the fogs. :D

  • aggrevatedaggrevated Band Wagon

  • ls_ef_juggalols_ef_juggalo New Wagonist
    Thats cool ive seen a couple wagons around town. Unfortunatlly pick n pull only has 1 of the 88-91 wagons right now. Anyway maybe ill see yall around.
  • aggrevatedaggrevated Band Wagon
    that sucks.. and yeah, im usually drivin around the west/nw side.
  • ls_ef_juggalols_ef_juggalo New Wagonist
    yea ive been lookin for grey interior for mine but they crushed the grey one before i could get the money to buy anything :( I work at benson honda so im usually in that area and i go to noribilt from time to time. I also go to the meets most of the time too
  • Michael-crxsiMichael-crxsi New Wagonist
    i went by honda to get a key made today and saw your wagon. looks real good
  • ls_ef_juggalols_ef_juggalo New Wagonist
    thanks man. well should be sending my block to the machine shop soon to get bored and all the goodies installed.
  • ls_ef_juggalols_ef_juggalo New Wagonist
    well dropped off my block today and the machinist said not to use the block guard so gonna go without it. Also bought a brand new oil pump for the motor from my work. My buddy had a ebay one on his block and a month after the build it spun all the bearings in the block cause the ebay pump but anyway ill write back when its out and ill have pics :)
  • TurboWagonTurboWagon New Wagonist
    Didn't know there were so many wagons in the area! Awesome!
  • ls_ef_juggalols_ef_juggalo New Wagonist
    Well just got the block back and i decided to let the machine shop handle the assembly of the motor. All together it came out to 309 for everything. They boiled the block, pollished and checked the crank, pollished and checked the rods, bored it, honed it notched the bottom of the sleeves, notched the craddle, then assembled it for me. Got all the gaskets I needed today from work and will start putting it together tonight. Probally throw it in over the weekend.
