Find a wrecked wagovan and swap the drivetrain w/vitaras and boost. Piss off wrx subaru fags and haul ass in the snow.

This.

Sleeper wouldn't even begin to describe it.

But pointless waste of time would be a pretty good description.

Ha. Says the guy who recently purchased the mk4 jetta. Pot, kettle, black.

I figured the ultimate way to piss subaru owners off about what they actually care about. You just have to buy cuter cars than them.

ZING!!!

Might as well make this a build thread. Added a few new bends to the A/C lines and got everything pulled

The rustiest part of the car. I'll probably be looking for a replacement one if the Integra doens't have one

Easiest way to get the bitch pin is make sure the car is jacked up enough for the linkage to come with everything else. At least that's what I always do

super bowl bump.

need a obd0 LS dizzy or just the coil to see if i can get my dizzy to work on the cheap. ill get pics of the parts car up soon

I have an obdo ls coil that came off a working car. If you want the whole dist let me know,Ill let it go for uber cheap. It was hacked up since the dude used it on a b16a head so he chopped off one of the legs to clear the vtec solenoid and nig noged the wiring but it worked.

Also I should have a couple battery trays too. No rust its California

pm me a price on the whole dizzy, with all the internals. I need it asap, flat rate should get here in 3 days right? I'd be willing to give you a little extra if you can get it in the mail tonight or tomorrow morning. I'll let you know about the battery tray at a later date.

getting ready to do a compression check here in a bit

well i can't freaking get the key cyl to turn on the steering wheel. shit is locked up tight as a 4 year old so it might be a while before i can do the compression check anyway

mother fuck

figured out what i needed to do to bypass the ignition switch and got it where it would turn over for the compression check. so #1 cyl has 0 psi, i mean not even close to reading something. doesn't sound like a head gasket. 2 hours later i have the head off and sure enough there's a hole in the pistion. freaking awesome. the walls look in pretty bad shape too so i think i'm just going to try to pull the head off the b18b1 i have in the garage and see what it looks like cause this one is pretty much junk. i'd just have to convert the intake manifold over to obd0 or see if i can reuse the a1 head on the b1 block

HiProfile · « **Reply #45 on:** February 09, 2010, 05:21:51 AM »

That sucks about the LS. AFAIK the only conversion for the IM would be the injectors. The rest has all the same plugs in all the same spots. You'll also get a bigger TB and lose that retarded dashpot thing. Hopefully it's just the pistons/rings. If that's the case, find those "turbo" nippon pistons with beefy ringlands (~$155/ebay) and go with a heavy hone job. Then turbo the bitch. Or...just get some used pr3 pistons and regrinds.

I've always thought ef 4 doors were the ugliest of ugly

A slight drop and decent wheels makes them fucking awsome. Not only that, you pull out the front pass. seat and you can carry: 1 b-series longblock, b-series bare block, another d-series block, a crank, a z6 head, a bunch of other Honda junk, including a HF manifold with a t3 adapter on it. And with a mpfi conversion you can still smoke a gutted 96+ DX, that's with all the above still inside. And getting 42mpg on top of it. Then there's the panoramic view you get from so much glass. There's not a single blind spot on the car. If I move to somewhere those cars don't rust, I'm buying one again just for a daily bomber/parts car/rhmt sleeper.

The only downside is no cup holders, but a ford modular throttle body is sized perfectly for a beer can and tapered for fast-food cups.

Parts car with supposedly bad head gasket

i was really hoping the drivetrain was good seeing the odometer

FABLAD: who the fuck wants to pull cams when taking a head off

The 'bad' head gasekt

Free head that was in the trunk

Random shit I hoard, including a the B18B1 long block

batteries died in the camera, but the B1 head is off, and the pistons look good. I want to take a look at the bottom end later and see what kind of shape the bearings and crank are in. If they look good, then they are getting reinstalled as is. I think I'm just going to take one of the 3 LS heads I have and thow it on the B1 block after getting it checked out and probably shaved for flattness at a machine shop. I could be mistaken, but I think the A1 and B1 head castings are identical. It is just the cams are different. I should have enough parts to make a complete obd0 motor for the civic

HiProfile · « **Reply #48 on:** February 11, 2010, 09:08:41 PM »

Wow, that's bad. All I can guess is the

tried no2 out w/o extra fuel and had some really fun preignition.

onlyflash944 · « **Reply #49 on:** February 11, 2010, 10:15:24 PM »

beats me what the fuck happened to it. i think the block is salvagable with an overbore, but i just might part it out. keep the rods for a d, sell the crank/pan/whatever else, scrap the rest. looks like i have at least 2 good complete heads with IM and another one that might need reworked and an an IM that needs a TB. going to tear into the b1 bottom end tomorrow

onlyflash944 · « **Reply #50 on:** February 14, 2010, 07:47:52 PM »

of course things take longer than hoped. the b1 spins really easy, so i'm not going to pull the mains and rod caps to look at the bearings. the only thing that bothers me is in one of the cyls:

see the small discoloration from i guess a ring end gap on the wall? anyone think that will be a problem in say, the next 500 miles? it isn't even a grove that i can feel with my fingernail so i'm not too worried about it.

another question. what is the 0.8 uder the pr4 on the piston for? i thought i found the answer but i guess not:
http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=822417

honda has no tech didn't help abaz out so maybe you all can. it's a common question from searching and no one seems to know. i don't care, but i was just curious

I also need a new timing belt for this set up, b1 block a1 head. haven't gotten the crank pulley off of the a1 yet to compare the crank sprocket but i'm betting that it won't matter about which belt to get. anyone have one shoot me a pm. if you have a new water pump for cheap i'd like that too, else i just will keep the one on it that is there.

cyl head is going to the machine shop for the 32 dollar resurface tomorrow.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaand the clutch and pp from the 90 integra are done like a fucking cake. Of course, the extra stock clutch I have from the 94 B1 setup doens't fit the input shaft on the transmission. Ebay has them for under 80 so I'm grabbin one of them bitches. Going to pick up the head today, and drop off flywheel to have resurfaced

onlyflash944 · « **Reply #56 on:** February 23, 2010, 12:46:41 AM »

Thanks for moving this to the proper section

Aight, I need some help. I'm using the B1 block and there is what looks like maybe an oil temp sensor that I don't what to do with, as well as a coolant temp sensor that doesn't match up between the two blocks. I'm just going to use the Tstat housing and water pipe off the A1 block so I don't have to worry about that sensor, but the oil sensor (highlighted) off the back of the block I dont' know if I should try to switch it out. It looks like it might be a 34mm plug which I don't have. Hell I don't even know for sure if it will unscrew. Any insight would be helpful

Now the Integra wiring harness doesn't seem to have this plug in it, but the civic does. It's like a right angle plug and I'm having to use the engine bay harness out of the integra because the civic didn't have one at all. Anyone know what this goes to?

Some pictures from the build. Block cleaned up and ready for the new HG and resurfaced head

8 thou missing

Everything going back together with assembley lube

Picked up a new front and rear main seal and the camshaft seals today so those will be installed soon. Also going to get a new timing belt even though the one I have looks pretty good, I just think it will make the car sell for more with the new stuff installed and the reciepts in hand

and replacing the tob is a bitohc on cable traniies when yor drunk

onlyflash944 · « **Reply #59 on:** March 12, 2010, 12:30:25 AM »

motor is in. but damn it if theres more shit to swap out than i expected. apparently the p/s a/c throttle cable and who knows what else needs changed. i've given up on getting the LS engine harness to work in the civic shell. just too much shit to rewire. ill upload pics later

so if anyone has a obd0 mpfi harness on the cheap that isn't hacked up, lmk
