Just kidding. Well, not really…my first car, 1992 Acura Integra LS. First pics were from Apr 09 when I got it. I started working on it in the summer of 2009, which is when are these pics are from.
The old motor was a B20vtec which pooped on me so a B16a went in. Shoulda just gotten a B18a
b20v
b16a
This was all last summer ('09). I drove it once and never again. Stopped working on it all fall and winter. I picked up again early april of this year ('10) and decided to start fresh.
-fresh new paint
-suspension setup for auto-x/track
-some kind of tune
-get interior and exterior sexy looking
-clean up engine bay
-GSR tranny w/ LSD and LS fifth gear
-new parts
Essentially, it’ll be an older car, whose purpose will be DD/weekend warrior, with many new parts. There’s no ETA and no “set budget” (basically, be as cheap as possible while not sacrificing quality and reliability). Current cost of this build is like $1700. I still have a long way to go.
She gave up more then a fight…it was a battle lol…
first it didnt fit with the dc headers so we had to take the header off…then put it in but it would fit without removing some other parts lol…
Then the dam headgasket was put on wrong…arghhh lol but in the end its in there and runs but needs some work on idling problem as i dont know anything for that intake manifold [ where all the wires goes] lol
man looking at all those wire reminds me of how much i have left to do on my car. last time i checked i have only 1 wire left in the car and it was for the battery
I wish! I was gonna pull the motor today but some things came up. Everything’s off, just gotta pull it. Hopefully there should be updates tomorrow or Monday. Thanks to longuyen88 for helping out today!
First time I pulled a motor all by myself! Took roughly an hour.
Lol bee hive in my Honda Powa motor, y0.
Upcoming plans are
-clean up engine bay
-clean up/check motor and separate trans and motor
-finish prepping interior for paint
I also had a change of heart. Instead of just dropping the B16A back in, I think I’m gonna go with a poor man’s type r setup, using the head off of the B16 I have now, then sourcing a GSR block and GSR transmission. I dunno about any specifics as I’m gonna finish the car first then worry about this.
Any advice on the motor build would be very welcome!
let jesus guide you…look at the last picture of that human size jesus portrait lol!! good job man. if you can do it all your self you can do anythign!!!
Lol yes! I found that in the garage when I cleaned it and figured it would give the garage some life while letting jesus watch over me lol. Thanks, man.
