I NEED HELP PICKING WHEELS
i want the car to look clean and gangster.

First i started off pulling the motor.
The last motor that was in there was completly rebuilt
and yet it only last 12 000km on 9PSI?

Doesnt make sense, so it was either the motor or the tune.

Either way. Time to try it all over again.

I pulled out the motor.
took all the parts off
and now i am sending the head out to get checked and repaired if it needs it.



My new b20 bottom end




The pistons and internals look to be mint so im excited to try it out.


Im gona start everything off by cleaning the motor as best as i can.

Good luck with the project and keep the pics coming

Looks like you had some exhaust leak on your current motor. 12K on 9PSI sounds like a bad rebuild or bad tune, or both.

You run that much power on the motor, expect it to break faster especially with a bad tune or build.

Been running 20K on 7PSI with no problems.

[derek_k]

thanks guys, yea exaxctly what i though aswell. and yes my fexpipe is busted and leaks, must replace it aswell.

so i cleaned the motor with brake clean and touched it up a bit, i am very stoked on how it turned out.




now im doing the tranny. lol

i aslo got the work done on the half wire tuck




















more updates later

[Mr_ET]

looking good man, nice to see other Honda build threads in Calgary!

What are you hoping for hp wise for the B20?

[jaylo]

Seems like a lot of work to do the wire tuck

Anyways, you mentioned that you will be installing a "custom" traction bar. Is someone going to fabricate it for you? Let me know, I am interested on getting one made.

[gretz]

looks like a good start -

if you need help with anything custom or fabbed, give me a shout
nice rex btw

[derek_k]

thanks guys, yea a wiretuck is alot of work, i only did the min wireing harness and the wires to the headlights.

32 on the passenger side
28 on the drivers
i put about 22 hours in 3 days to do it i got final pics on the way.


and yeah a custom traction bar, rite now i have a avid traction bar. have broken it 4 times off the frame rail. its very poorly desiggned. i will upload my drawing for a traction bar tonight and show you my idea and the current one.
And gretz! dont be suprised if i hold you to it! i actually need some fab work done aswell, my manifold has a horrible crack on it and i was going to see if it was repairable.


im hopeing to get around 240tq and 300whp on 12-15psi

[derek_k]

but then again i might try a map for 21psi and aim for 360whp on race gas at the track.

21 is nuts!

[kolumbo69]

Have you thought about trying the full-race traction bars?

[frozenrice]

Nice build! Do you have any more pictures of how you ran your intercooler piping? Did you end up ditching the washer fluid tank?


Jay, I haven't forgotten ya. I still want to hook up with you, I'm just running short on spare time these days.....

It looks like it is running from where the washer reservoir used to be (standard routing).

Yeah, I still have the parts for you if you hold on to the parts I need from you too

[jaylo]

BTW, to solve your tail lights condensation, you need to purchase the foam gasket that sits in between the tail lights and the body. I think it's $20 or $40 from Silverhill Acura.

Hey everyone this is my new beyond account.
i have been using my friends up untill now.

[Sebasshole]

yea i did look into the full race traction bars and obx. but i decided it would be faster and easier to just make my own.

And yes i removed the washer tank and ran it through there.

The charge pipes, down pipe and exhaust was made from Jason Lange

[kolumbo69]

Oh yah I apologize nice build to!

[Sebasshole]

some more parts i aquired.

power fc now waiting for power fc boost selinoid
frog harness
coilovers too.

And it looks like i need a new turbo or rebuild.
and possibly a new clutch.

anyone know how much allamo would charge for a full rebuild?

or any advise on what would be a good upgrade for a turbo.

Your car is seriously in pain. Isn't this that DA_1.8T/honda/teg's old DA? The wheels from your CRX are from that DA.
