LMK when you need 800cc injectors, I will hook you up.

[JaredKaragen]

I will for sure.

Today was a lazy day in the rain.  On my way home I'll stop by the airport and see if I still have that silicone tube.

I wanna see this shit done yesterday!

Looks like solid work but I have some thoughts.

11:1 400hp stock piston daily driving? I wouldn't. Not saying it isn't possible but there are too many variables in daily driving.

You will hate that avgas pretty quick when you are changing/cleaning your plugs every time you fill the tank. Lead builds up on the plugs fast from avgas. I have a hookup on free avgas and I won't run it in my dedicated track car. It's meant for making torque below 3k rpm in very big bore motors.

I'm definitely not going to dd it in the high hp tune; maybe now and then.

As far as the plugs; I've had to walk that road before.  Secret is tuned very lean under cruise, burns most off and requires less upkeep.

I just find it a better alternative to rediculous prices.

Maybe I'll just tune it on moonshine...

Update: worked a lot today; traveled to Santa rosa and tuned cars.  Picked up a set of 97 gsr cams that are mint for $60; so I get to toss out the b16 cams.

Guy who sold the cams may have all the misc bracketry for alt and p/s, plus an alternator I need to get her all in.  Gonna buy a trans mount probably (made $ in tunes), brand new timing belt, and get the swap assembled on the shop floor tomorrow I hope.

*crosses fingers*

Cams are in. B16 cams are out.  Accessories bolted on, valves re adjusted, etc.

Bringing the transmission and driveline parts to the shop tomorrow to assemble; as well as get some transmission-to-engine bolts as I forgot them past trip to the junkyard.

Trans mount was filled using a tube of rtv45 I had lying around.  Pics of that tomorrow.

Went to Santa Rosa today (yesterday, haven't slept yet) to check out a poor mans built type r for my customer before he bought it.

He hooked me up with a 92' (appears to be) non VTEC harness. So when I got home I went through the harness replacing damaged wires, missing plugs, and also adding the provisions for my motor.

Man.... Took a while. It didn't have a map plug, and the vss plug was cut off along with dizzy plugs. Good thing I'm a competent solderer, and already know wire locations for civics because this harnes had a lot of non-standard 93+ wire colors. (Honda switched manufacturing plants in 93')

Managed to sort out every wire, added IAB, knock, VTP and VTS. Need to add a connector where the gsr usually has its pcs wiring, but have those two pins serve the IAB and knock signals to the ecu. It's closer and requires a lot less rewiring which also leaves me to add the other plug to the shock tower. I'm trying to keep a stock look. Hopefully I got the wire lengths right; of not I can cut open the harness coverings and put them where they belong.

So; looks like its a lot nicer than modifying my delsol's harness the day of the swap, should be plug and play when it's time to install.

The mount; still hasn't dried. Damned cold weather.

Gonna pound a shot of moonshine and pass out.

Work done.
