looks like a nice ls/vtec build you got going there. good luck man! I will post up a thread for myself soon....I am also working on a build, but only have the pistons, bottom end, and head right now. I have a long way to go!

THE GUY

I just built a motor to that same setup up. And I did it in my room to. haha
Put mine in 2 days ago so it is in the breakin period still. Nice build bro
Gotta love that 12.2:1 comp. Good luck. Here is a shot of mine



Skunk 2 IM got held up so next week I guess.

SlepT ej6

in for the build, shitty wat happened with the Ek hopefully all else goes well.

young geezer

what is that star on your head.

crxowner

Honestly I dont know whats with the star it was there when I bought it.

Congradulations on the build, is everything is running good with it?

Now it's just a waiting game

THE GUY

Runs great. Gonna dyno it in two weeks. Street tuning a bit more tomm. (running a S300) She has got alot of torque. Doin my radiator tomm also I got a C&R for a DC2. Im gonna subscribe to this one.

crxowner

Good luck

Well its gonna be a while before I get everything situated so be patient

crxowner

The insurance guy came over today, so I'm getting $3100 plus I keep the car.
I dont think thats too bad, I'm happy

crxowner

Finally got my block back, still no crankshaft, he's still working on making it perfectly balanced, that and I lost the crank pulley key which took 2 days to get, and I found out that aftermarket flywheels and clutches use 9 pressure plate bolts instead of 6 like the oem ones do, those took another 2 days to get because no one had them in stock.

On to pictures:




Those lines can't be felt or anything


Started to put some things on

crxowner

I got my crank shaft back today all balanced and shiny, tomorrow I order my bearings and start assembling.

crxowner

More goodies came in today
Passwordjdm Intake and magnetic drain bolts


the only other major piece I gotta buy is LHT's header

Lht stainless steel header (1 3/4 primarys, 2.5 collector)

j spec

nice build. Any reason for going with that particular header. or are you short on funds like me?
Almost done with my lsv build as well, waiting on GE oil line, adapter and header.

crxowner

For the most part, yea I'm broke But LHT does really good work and have been featured in hondatuning for making their intercooler for the JSRC, they're also about 20 minutes away, and their dimensions are almost the same as the more expensive headers

crxowner

I finally got my retainer from skunk2 today took it straight to united speed world and they installed it in about 5 minutes. Right now I'm waiting on bearings to get here so I can put it all together.

sorry for the stupi questions but did they balance the crank with the crank pulley and clutch on it? was the piston and rod balance too? kinda new to the engine building scene.

crxowner

Yes, everything was balanced seperately then balanced again all put together. Some shops just balance the crank by itself and dont realize how much a flywheel and pressure plate can throw everything off.

And yes the piston and rods were also balanced

FUEGS

great lsv build man im definitely subscribing to this thread

crxowner

Thanks, the motor should be done tuesday night when the rest of the bearings come in

Damn that's cheap for a built motor. Can't wait to see the #'s.

killerpenguin21

im 3700 in on an identical build, but a jdm r header, and just picked up a gsr trans. just need mounts now and im ready to go!

yous looks good, what are you gonna tune with?

crxowner

Right now tuning is still up in the air it really depends on who I have it tuned by since I have several options. But most likely it will be tuned by John Vega on a new program called ectune, he had a thread in here somewhere that explained all the features of it and what not. But right now my basemap is on crome.
