Re: 91 Civic Si Track Build - B18C-R|EF9 SIR Converted
I might have missed it but what motor are you going with? I was wondering how close I'd get just by parting out my swap/ mounts etc. love your car and how you track it, keeping an eye on this maybe I'll just copy you hah.
Last question you're going to keep your hood uncut right?

K20a2. B18C complete motor/trans go for around $3k or higher. The underside of the hood will need to be cut, but I will not have a hole in the hood.

Re: 91 Civic Si Track Build - B18C-R|EF9 SIR Converted
Some updates I think you guys will like. :D
I decided to go ahead and build the transmission while it was still out of the car.
•Mfactory 1-way Plate LSD
•Synchrotech Carbon Synchro Master Kit
•Honda 5.06 Final Drive
Neal Sutton in Tampa, FL did an excellent job assembling all the new parts in the transmission. He comes highly recommended!
Next up was getting all the parts over to John at LHT Performance. John is the only person I trust working on my car besides a few close friends and he never fails to impress me with his attention to detail! There were many custom parts that John fabricated to make the swap look like it came in the car this way from Honda.
The passenger mount was removed, replaced with the weld in Hasport mount and painted to match. John did an outstanding job blending the new paint with the old, I can barely even tell where he started and stopped.
And finally complete!!! I hadn't even sat in this car for an entire year and it feels so good to have it back on the road! The K series engine and transmission combo are so much fun in this light chassis. I cant wait to get it back to the track!
Im going to have some more professional images taken once I get a couple cosmetic things taken care of, so stay tuned! :D

Thanks guys! Finally made it to the dyno to get the car tuned. Ended the day with 223whp/158trq and a healthy dose of midrange over my old ITR setup! :D

Re: 91 Civic Si Track Build - B18C-R|EF9 SIR Converted
Very nice. Cant go wrong with a K20A2 in an EF. How did the hood clearance and ground clearance battle go? Does the hood close fully? I see some clearancing done there on the webbing.

Car is incredible! Power and delivery is amazing. Well worth every penny over the ITR. The 5.07FD and Mfactory LSD really wake this engine package up, my favorite modifications to date!

We cut out the webbing under the hood, spaced the engine down, hood closes fully with no spacers.
