Thanks for the helpful advice built hatch. I really didn't know that, very detailed info.. How much would those pistons cost?
Does anyone have a picture of the tranny ground by any chance.

somehow I question that statement builthatch. A b18 is certainly more torquey than a D16.
I like B series because a lot of parts are still cheap and available, and there's just more aftermarket support than the D series has. There are tons of wrecked Integra DAs in the junkyard for some mounts, brackets, alternators. I got my B18C1 head and block I'm building now for about 600, legit. I'm fine with that because it's bigger and will be more fun than my old D series could have been. The only way a D series would be like that is turbo'd, and then the low end would stink from having to have low compression.

The D series is fine if it's what someone is after, but B, H, K, J series motors are just torquier.

ahh, yeah, my mistake, i didn't clarify the tq thing because last minute i added b18b to the statement before that re: the p29 pistons. you are right, the b18b is pretty torquey and certainly has more torque than a stock sohc vtec.

i agree with your more detailed response, but i think there are a lot of people like me in that if they have a d commuter, it can be most beneficial and practical to service the d and possibly add a cam and p29's, or replace the d with another d, since they are perfect commuter engines. you already have the trans and everything else, it's just a matter of repairing what you have or swapping in an identical bottom end, head, or complete long block.

You could have an ignition switch (electrical portion) going bad or a main relay going bad, check for fuel pressure on the next no start. Do the idiot lights come on the dash during the next no start with the key in the run position.

did the t-belt break?

Timing belt didn't break. Ill check fuel pressure look for error codes today. The guy before me did a obd2 to obd1 swap? so like some wires are being shown. I'm going to heat wrap everything nice and clean so my engine bay doest look like sh**. Will keep you guys updated
