that mikey G guy is the biggest shit talker ive ever met..
in the space of 15minutes he sold two sets of wheels. claims a guy under the username DNT-CRY bought them!
Pulled out starter this morning inspected and fixed it. It had been replaced before I had it. The solenoid contacts were worn so no power to electric motor. Piece of copper and some soldering fixed it good as new!
My lil bro owns the car now, and he has driven it (thrashed it) for 9months, but it's back down in my shed to get a VTEC conversion woot!
Pulled the engine/gearbox out today and used a Karcher to blast all of the oil all over the engine and engine bay from all the oil leaks! All the engine mounts are shot so they will needreplacing too.
Went to Toda yesterday to sort out the ECU with a base map, so I'm glad that's sorted, thanks Adrian!
More parts have been ordered in such as, timing belt type R, water pump Type R, oil pump, head studs, spark plugs, gasket kit, bearings.
Getting headers, adjustable cam gears, and hopefully Type R throttle body too. Engine will be on a stand once I get some long bolts to mount the bloody thing! then I can start pulling it apart and checking the innards! Last engine I built was an R32GTR with an RB26DETT with forged innards etc, ran 480RWHP for 2 years then sold it, and a 1litre 3cyl turbo charade engine with a T25 lol, so I have the gear and experience to build this baby up!

Reason: Spelling
Okay, engine stripped down to bare block and inspected. Deglazed bores, and there were still hone marks evident, gotta love honda engines!
Rods and P30 pistons taken to engine reco place to get fitted and ARP rod bolts fitted and big ends resized/checked.
Everything else has come in, just waiting for the heavy duty clutch kit. Then collect it all and pay for it!
So parts ordered were:
clutch kit
water pump 22T
B18C timing belt
tensioner
spark plugs
leads
VRS gasket kits for head and block= $$$
ACL bearings
Just running the GSR cams and throttle body, pretty much out of money now, but some performance cams would be nice!
Will look funny when it revs into the DA9 tacho red zone as tacho only shows to 8000RPM and redline starts at 6500RPM!

Got all the gear today as well as a bolt stretch gauge for the rod bolts. ARP recommends .0053-.0057 thou stretch, so I went with .0055. Measured up all bearing oil clearances, ring end gaps etc, and all is good and within factory specs. No rags used in assembly, just paper towel!
Bottom end is all done and sump is fitted, now it's all the external stuff on the block as well as the head to sort out and fit up.
Drilled head to suit dowels, modded B18A head gasket and fitted head studs, head and nuts to 80FT/LBs. fitted up adjustable cam gears, seals, timing belt, water pump etc.
Then fitted up breather box, intake manifold and oil feed line for VTEC oil feed. Got up to fitting the fuel rail and found out that you cannot re-use the B18A fuel rail and fuel reg. Rail bolts up and that as far as you can go, short of modding it to an end mounted fuel reg, and blocking off the original mount. I put up a wanted to buy instead!!! Pretty sure the VTI R and GSR intake manifolds are the same.
Managed to buy a golden eagle pro series fuel rail and stock regulator (thanks Benson), and fitted it up along with a short length of 8mm EFI fuel hose so it still has a banjo fitting to the fuel filter.
De-pinned both OBD0 and the new OBD1 dizzy to use the OBD0 connectors and fitted leads.
Today was spent looking for a radiator hose adapter that bolts to the head, as the PR4 and PR3 one's don't fit. Also today, the front cross member was removed, modded and headers fitted while it was off, then put back on. Nearly complete! Just have to:
Get hose adapter fitting
lengthen wiring to air temp sensor
reconnect rack to steering wheel
feed VTEC wiring through firewall and wire up
fit radiator
fill up fluids
sort out exhaust and o2 sensor
run it in and tune
Wiring done, and 02 sensor, may need one or two other things hooked up or fixed as engine light comes on after starting it.
Cranked it over with no spark and fuel till oil pressure came up, then fired it up straight out the headers, far out it's loud! So engine runs, just need that damn radiator hose adapter part.
Mig welded the exhaust up and bought a flange to suit the outlet of the header and welded that up too. So close!
