Well, my B18B is officially dead. It's eats oil faster than it sips gasoline and is going to come out sometime this summer for a freshening up. Hopefully the cylinders aren't scored and I can just re-ring it and throw some new bearings in and be good to go. It's still in tact and clean at this point though......
^ I take opportunities like this to upgrade. Find a 2l bottom end since it's gotta come out. You won't be sorry.
I thought about that, but non-stolen blocks with Vin still in tact are pretty much impossible to find in OKC and I just don't want to mess with stuff like that. The LS was plenty fun and this rebuild should cost next to nothing to do.
If I come across one that isn't stolen for a good deal I'll try that route though.
Here is my '92 DX hatch that I've had since March (traded my EP3 for it).
When I got it it had a half-*** done H22A4 swap by the PO with no intake at all and the stock civic exhaust. It was going through about a quart of oil every 100 miles so I acquired a F20B. I killed the F20B about 10 days after it was finished thanks to a nice 3->2 money shift racing a B20v integra.
I almost sold the entire car but I figured I'd build it again and go the route I should've the first time, which is H23A bluetop. This time however I replaced the floppy accord shifter with a JTC cutoms short shifter and all the bushings with solid bushings also from JTC Customs. Completely removed the slop from the shifter and fixed, imo at least, the worst part of a straight H swap. Finished as of Tuesday other than dyno tuning:
(Excuse the cell phone pics need to take better ones.)
NO THE WHEELS ARE NOT REAL SPRINT HARTS AND NO I DIDN'T PUT THE STICKERS ON THEM THE PREVIOUS OWNER DID. I KNOW IT'S LAME.
That said I'm looking for some white Mugen RNRs to replace them with. I'm also going to replace the M2Y4 trans with a T2W4 come tax time. Other than that I'm pretty happy with it mechanically so it'll just be cosmetic things that I change for the most part.
I'm hoping for about 210hp/180tq to the wheels, but I'd be happy with anything around 200/170.
