JeffBro

What size bore are you running?

JeffBro

Btw got a decent investment in your motor, it would be smart to invest tuning also.

G23?
Now we're just making motor names up...

Is this for sale or are you just telling us about it?

-88-91 Crx Si and "Dx" share the same steering wheel and come with a clock.
-Reinstall the rear interior?

G23: f23 vtec sohc short block + h22 head= 2.3 dohc long block with out the frm liners used in the h22,23 block meaning your able to throw in forged pistons or k series pistons with out a worry also its a killer even with the m2y4 or m2b4 trans if you got b series trans give way better results..but like all hybrid motors reliability drops

v4lu3s

thats not a real G series.

larazaracing

what u mean? i couldnt recover my old account completely. i just had to roll with a new one

larazaracing

so because im still a trial account i cant post pictures yet. gotta play the waiting game. anyway i have pulled and put the motor back in 2 times. this time i have pulled it so i can mod the paint like i want. The motor is being dissasembled due to an oil leak popping up on the head gasket. the transmission is gonna get rebuilt. Custom interior and a custom sub set up will go in all the empty space in the back.

The Beast chained up!


Intake side


Back in the day....


Front shot


Front Again


The hole in the frame wall because the alternator pully was rubbing 24/7


Ok so i know this vehicle needs alot of work. That is what i plan to do. i have already pulled the motor so i can fix all this gay ****


The wire harness looks like a rat got in it and f^&( **** up. Check the top left of the picture


Another big issue i have is the clearance for the motor and the tranny. On the tranny side the entire thing barely clears, but only after i remove the two bolts from the tranny mount.


On the driver side the crank shaft pully and the alternator pully sit literaly like 1/8 of an inch from the side wall of the engine bay


Alrite guys I need all the help i can get on this one, this has been my work in progress for like 2 years now. Now what i need here is guidance. I am already sanding the paint down to factory and having a professional do all the painting. Gonna tear the motor down and rebuild it all. Same goes with the transmission. The electrical is the biggest problem and i need help there for sure....well thats all i got rite now. What you all think?
