♠Θ♠ Mikeb353 DC2 Build Don't Miss out ♠Θ♠
Whats up!
Ht, Well this is my first time building a K20 and posting on here. Let me tell you this website has TONS of great information and i will be contacting half of you for information. Well a little history about my integra. I bought this car back in 2008 with 120k. Built a FULLY ls Vtec from the ground up. Well let me just tell you the motor went to ***** after 2 months due to someone taking out my drain plug from my car
. Well i bought a daily 4runner and decided to keep the Integra and get back at it. So here i am trying/going to do a k20 build
Old Ls/Vtec Motor
Here is a link to my old B-Series Build
Ls-Vtec Build Thread
************************************************** *******
First i had to clean up the garage have some room for the Integra to sleep in at night.
Nice out, Took the covers off the Integra started to tear it down.
Bought me a new front bumper and rear bumper.
Removed stock Ls Motor
**** that bitch pin took me 40 min until i gave up and just cut the damn shift linkage
Put that car in the garage, called it a night
Started to remove the dash
Dash it out
Heater core out
No heater core/ clean dash
Removed ABS ( doing a brake line tuck )
Starting to do Harness tuck, Not bad for a first timer :D
Dont worry guys i just tucked it away like this, but i will have all the wires loomed up
Started to mock up the passenger side harness
Did alot for a whole day, going to start to remove fuel tank and headlight get it ready for brake tuck, k20 Hasport Mounts , out to paint . THinking about keeping the same color Frost White
Some Goodies that came in form Summit Racing. All my Necessary brake line hardware. Battery relocation kit
40/40 Prop valve came in
Ordered a ASR Subframe
Thats all for now , will take recent pictures when i come back from World Cup 2010 Paintball Tournament. Hopefully i should have the car done by next season. All input and helpful information will greatly be appreciated.

Re: ♠Θ♠ Mikeb353 DC2 Build Don't Miss out ♠Θ♠
Had some time today and went down to Harbor Freight Got me some tools to get this front end going. Not yet finished but was able to get the T-bar off the usdm rad support and the JDM T-Bar off the ITR Front End. I'm going to wait and get the other Fenders that the Company is sending down before i weld the whole t bar dowm. Got me some strong clamps and clamped it all down for s***s and giggles i bolted everything up to see what it would look like and the fitment.
Not going to lie i was very hesitant about doing this myself, But i read , searched and read until there was no Tomorrow. Anyone can do these front ends just measure , measure , measure and cut and you will be perfect. Ill have the finishing updates some times this week

Finally got some time to do some work on the car, Been super busy with work and tournaments lately. Awaiting for the doors and subframe. Mean while I got the k-Tune shifter plate in. Skunk2 goodies have arrived... FINALLY the 5 lug has arrived as well.... Got started on the engine bay sanding it down and covering up some holes (harborfreight welders suck ) but it gets the job done
For the first time doing a engine bay prep and welding, I think I'm doing pretty good. Will find out on when she's painted
