id prefer obd o and if possible id like a mostly complete swap but tell me what you have ??????
oh and the motor needs to be in clean running order
so motor trans seats brakes suspension and anything i can possibly snatch will be mine
im thinking that power sunroof would be tits bit its not gonna happen soon .......
but i got my engine bay spotless and my mounts and shift linkages are waiting so if things go well and my money holds out inside 1 month ill be rolling
as of now my grand total is about 1,200 and i will be able to part alot from the integra.... i am a broke dude in general but ive had alot of fun building a nice unique wagon for less than most people put into a b16 ........
i bought a 4 door and put the auto from the wagon in it plus some other items and turned a big profit so the car its self is basically free
wagon 950 blown motor
4 door 200 smoked trans bad tires yada yada distributor .......
sold 4 door 1200 profit
used mounts & linkage 140
donor integra 1,000
so thats the break down when i really get rollin ill do a full write up and tons of pics
good deal. your wagon would look sleeper with that b18 under the hood
my progress is great.... the integra is in shreds
but i wanna do alot of stuff to this engine to freshen it up and i am wanting it done soon but i wanna take my time and of copurse money money money ...... i have tracked down a lightened flywheel and a clutch all clutch masters stuff it needs a new disc but its 200 my buddy payed 700 new so thats a deal
and for kicks heres a night shot of my shiter ... she is kicking so hard these days the weather is nice and the exaust sounds great with the window down im driving around like speed racer ....
then removed cams cause unless this dick from ebay fails me i have stage 2 crane cams coming they are the best ones that are still safe for stock valve train i ported the exaust side of the motor heavily just worked around the valve stems a little and opened it up polished very well after ward
i am cleaning the crap outta everything i found out honda clear coats the type r blocks so i found high temp clear coat and did the front of my motor and the trans plus im doing the motor mounts that way corosion will be held at bay abit i hope .....
the interior is gutted no dash no carpet i am plugging the hole in the floor from the auto cable and puting in the stock metal for the 5 speed ..... plus i put in the 5 speed pedals NOTE !!!! DA pedals do not fit
i am coating the floor with a rubber driveway sealer it is much cheaper than anything from a store for a car i got 5 gallons for 12 bucks ... and i can patch my side walk when im done hahah
i got thin neoprene rubber which i am gonna mat on the floor for extra sound deadening i want this extra quiet i have found that the center tunnel is most likely the best place to attack if you want quiet there is just a tiny sheet of metal no sound protection at all the under coat is even thinner in the center tunnel
so all and all it is coming nicely i need the cams and some seals then ill order my clutch and flywheel ill need a pulley after that then the motor is ready to go in well the wiring is still needing done and some minor hose's and stuff
ohh i also scored some decent lowering shocks and coil over from an EK which need slight mod to fit
progress = money which sucks .......... such is life
here is the manifold set up
here we have the 5 speed pedals
my shiny clean ass engine with high temp clear coat to fight corosion
here is my front cross member removed mount and did some painting and cleaning
my buddy showed me a pic hes like wait till you see this wagon ..... it was yours im like hahah yea that guy is on my forum then i pointed out some of your items like the fogs and shit it was just funny i guess you had to be there
i want real clean real oem like something that is very understated the rims are gonna be the clincher ....... oh and i want this b-18 to rip ass
he was taking the stance wait till you see this sick ass wagon and i was like shiiiiiiittt i seen it when it was primer grey hahahah you got nothing to show me ....
that was all be happy dudes in ohio covet your car ...
OK ANY WAY GUYS I HAVE BEEN HARD AT WORK
i got enough dough to order some shit off ebay for the motor and i have got most of it together some minor details ....
for the record i have a Type R oil pump if you do this you will need a OBD2 lower timing cover assuming you use an older motor like me
something like a 97 crv, teg, um civic SI 99-00 or something like that i was so bummed when my cover didnt fit then i found out it was a simple design change
ok now for the good stuff i have put in two hard nights reasembleing the interior i have it whipped and i worked on my integra steering wheel and my integra center consule i see that someone did half of one in the interior i will do a write up on that in that section oh yes its a DA wheel and DC consule .....
the steering wheel needs taken apart and the horn ring from your old one can be used in therory this will work i dont have proof since my car has no battery .... but i am confident it will you need to glue it in place on the teg wheel and there is one tinytwire that it clips too pretty easy overall
note the gold ring on the right thats what i mean one wire comes from it and plugs in
ok now for the good part !
its looking like a car again ! and here is the wheel in place for kicks
now close your eyes and imagine it with a dorky wheel a ugly shit brown shifter and no clutch pedal get my drift ....
thats all for now boys this project is pissing me off i am getting it done soon i want my garage back cause my other wagon and my crx are gonna go under the knife next i think
good progress. cant wait to see it all done
OK
so i bought a shit crank pulley off ebay
like 40 bucks shipped i didnt want to splurge on a CTR pulley andway for clearance and cause i hate uneeded shit and the fact that these cheapo pulleys come with AC and PS i did this at work today
and then today i focused on finishing the installation of my new intake manifold
so i cleaned the injectors and i am trying to make the OEM stuff fun to look at cause i dont need an upgraded fuel system on my simple build but i polished cleaned and painted every thing i could
ok thats all for now i am waiting for feeler gauges so i can do my valves then i can really put this sucker together
