well my first two builds were FAIL 00 coupe caught on fire, 99 hatch got rear ended.

onto older and better things!!!

about to pick up a 93 EX 4 door



has 232k on her, going to boost it untill it blows up (should be pretty quick) and in the meantime I will be building the JDM d15b

wish me luck, 3rd time is the charm?

kit thats going on her



will have to hack it up a bit so the IC pipes fit the EG.

previous fails:

[brine04]

Damn I like your old coupe. But I'm an OG 4 door civic gangster too.

[speedjunky01]

That black coupe looks nice.

yeah it was. . . had a ton of good things done to it. o well WTF can you do

the beaners tried to jip me( WTF else would you expect) so i got the price down to 1000

car is in great shape, very minor and easy to fix body work needed, new batery, new brakes, and axles are needed

not a big deal since i have two space civics sitting around.

this is the ABS model so it came with rear disks as far as i know

anyone know what I should be able to swap over from my old suspension/car setup? should be just about everything i assume tie/strut bars are all the same, shocks will work on the eg (tokicko blues) front rotors and pads are the same. dont think illl need anything else

the ABS light is on in the car and it stops poorly feels like the pedal is very soft, will bleed the system with fresh fluid and change the rotors tomorrow, any other ideas on what would cause the light to go on?

my goals are to get the car running very very well and get the suspension/brakes sorted before I delv into boost. The car needs to be prepared for the added stress of being turbo.

I've also decided that ill be redoing my charge pipes/down pipe to make it AC and PS compatible. This kind of car is really hard to find in this good of shape would be a shame to gut the fuck out of it IMO.

/rant . . . . . porn

[speedjunky01]

ok so a small update, got the alternator swapped out and it runs great now.

onto the suspension, what is compatible off my 99 hatch? I figure all of the mad typeR JDM braces are, but what about the subframe brace for the rear swaybay? turns out this car already has a rear sway, I plan on swapping over the 15mm one and the brace if it fits.

would the camber kit's (front and rear) swap over?? 

Im also fixing the brakes today, have new disks and hawk HPS pads going on the front. I looked at the back and it has disks from the factory will be putting the same on the back when i can. also the lines are very very rotted, would the SS lines off the hatch fit?? the pedal is super soft and the car stops like shit, hope its not as mushy once i bleed the sytem.

[speedjunky01]

picked up some more aluminized 2.5 bends today, going to face the turbo the other way in order to keep the AC and PS.

not sure about the WG placement right now but ill figure it out when I come to that.

I just finished lowering it with the eibach springs and tokicko shocks, and i put the flat black rota C8's on it pics coming soon.

Also looking for red/clear tails( like the 99-00 ex not ricer shit) black housing fronts, amber corners, fogs, and a front and rear lip, already have sideskirts from my old car. anyone know where i can get this shit from the same seller for a good price on ebay? shipping it all separate is rape

[Colin]

Looks awesome. Does the wastegate clear with that manifold? I was thinking about picking one up for my car.

[speedjunky01]

it clears on the EK chassy not sure about the EG should find out tonight or tomorrow for sure

[speedjunky01]

ordered a pre-loved LSD clutch 6 puck sprung 350ft/lbs

should be perfect once i finish the other motor. d15b with vitaras and FJ custom rods.

[Towdogg]

Your wastegate will rub one of the ribbs on the hood... It does on mine..

[speedjunky01]

Your wastegate will rub one of the ribbs on the hood... It does on mine..

no big deal then, ill just cut some of the ribs away around the gate.

i plan on filling the mounts so movement shouldnt be a big deal

thanks for the heads up though

should have the mani and turbo on it tomorrow afternoon, just waiting on mandrel pipe to ship in so i can start on the DP

[speedjunky01]

ok so need some advice from you folks.

I found some standard 137mm rods eagle rods and vitaras for a good price.

now im trying to figure out What CR a JDM d15b will have with this setup

using zeal auto calc i input d15 block and crank, as well as z6 head and standard y8 gasket i got 8.27:1 cr

does this account for the pistons sticking out the .022?

hope you guys can help me out on this so i can have a built motor sooner

[92CXyD]

Looks good to me unless the vitaras are oversize 0.5mm or 1.0mm.

As long as that d15b is jdm and not usd then yes the 137mm rods would work.

[speedjunky01]

yup jdm d15b

getting them for about 300 bones shipped

trying to lowball the shit out of the guy lol

vitaras have slight scratches on the skirt from poor notching, said they were never ran just mocked up. . . idk getting kinda fishy. . .

[iyi0521]

pics please

[speedjunky01]

got a closer pic, will polish off them never got to rings was only at the very bottom

wither way decent buy for 300 bones even come with new NPR rings

[92CXyD]

I pd $60 for Y.C.P. vitaras
 
  pd $20 for rings

  pd $100 for used TT rods (same as eagles) w/o bolts

  pd $70 for bolts

Total $250 for vitara and rods for my setup

If I can get them that cheap maybe you could talk the guy down to $250 after shipping just maybe. ;D

[speedjunky01]

yeah after looking at them more closeley they are in new shae aside from super light scratches so a good deal. plus FJ vitaras are slightly better then other( according to himself :-P) but his rods wont require machining and will come with ARP 2000 bolts

what are your oppinions on just re-using the bearings that are in the engine already?

its a very very fresh d15b 30,000 or so on it. although some of it was a little harsh it was always on synthetic and changed ever 3000. IDK Ill end up just buying some from honda most likely, just the d15b is ghay d16 rod bearings and d15 mains

gonna have to pick up 2 sets

[92CXyD]

FJ vitara = Y.C.P. vitara > NPR vitaras  ;D

If the engines is that fresh just make sure that when using the eagle rods with the old bearing that you still plasti-gauge them first.

Make sure they are still within spec. beacuse you may not like the results later.

yeah i planed on plsting them anyhow. I want to try and just leave the mains alone but i have to take the cap off to tq the rods :-P



you can see the scratches on the piston way tp the right on the bottom of the skirt, he gave me another close up pic but cant find it.

[92CXyD]

Not bad what does the tops look like?

[speedjunky01]

new nothing on them

[92CXyD]

I say go for it. ;D

[speedjunky01]

I say go for it. ;D

now i just need to find a "how to" on building the motor, gaping rings, TQing everything correctly,i found instructions on notching the block on "theoldone" ECT ECT ECT ECT lol

i have a helms manual for a civic but its for 96-00

also mandrel bends shipped out today hope to have the DP and IC pipes done by weeks end

[speedjunky01]

so reason i got the car for a good price was it needs four new calipers

FUCKING  :somb:!!!!

anyway. . . hope that makes the ABS light go off, front and rears now have brembo blanks and Hawk HP+. went to autozone and got new front calipers, bleed the system, the rears arent stoping at all

fronts get cooked when stopng hard but the backs are doing nothing. . .

bleed it many many times still the same results

any ideas on the ABS light? im downloading a pdf of all civic manuals, ill make a torrent and post it once the whole file is loaded

[Towdogg]

ABS pump

[speedjunky01]

ABS pump

pulled the ABS error code using a paper clip, its code 1 pump motor over run, looking into the helms right now to see wtf that means lol

[MAJORAHOLE]

if you need some calipers on the front i got a pair of the the oversized front hype-r/prelude vtec calipers i could sell you

[speedjunky01]

if you need some calipers on the front i got a pair of the the oversized front hype-r/prelude vtec calipers i could sell you

na finally got the right ones from vato-zone :-P they gave me the DX non abs ones, got rear ones too for my troubles for free just cores trade in lol

4 new calipers about 100 bucks not bad

car stops like crazy, brakes the stock rubber loose way to easy, almost no fade either. I would highly recomend hawk HP+ pads!!

now just need to get the abs working, looking for a pump on ebay right now.

also GF's grandma has a lift, ill be using it monday for teh boost building lots of pics to come

[Towdogg]

So it was the pump? 

[glustic]

Damn your making me wanna start on my shit, problem is I gotta wait till next week to wrap up all my parts... !!!!!! GL with build.
