Default my first honda build!

well a while back i picked up a 93 hatch cx with the d15 in it for $250. this car what beat to hell had not much interior and body is mangled but nothing that cant be fixed.

first thing i did was i pulled my d15 and traded it and a 4g63 shortblock for a b18c1 swap that needed a rebuild so i tore it town and did the all motor swap gsr.

















got the valve cover powdercoated







got intake manifold for it







now the install









the trans










After


then got bored of that and the tear down 2 begins......after 500 miles lol

got some h beams and pistons for it

















intercooler







install

























then i changed manifold both exhaust and intake and turbo











added some interior










and now the real build starts..... i dont have alot of pix yet for the new setup but ill give you a peak

portflow full race head (b16)
aem cop
sleeved b18a 84mm



















Cams
*


This is how out looks right now about to go to the body shop

Lookin pretty solid so far, but why did you tear it down so many times and not just set a goal, research, buy it all right the first time so you didnt have to keep tearin it down?

I think he is asking for when you did the build and finished product. Great build.
