91 HB CIVIC [What we can do with low budjet in Quebec]Build
Hi everyone !! I've started a new project since 2 month ago and i think it could be interesting for you to know about it !!!
So here is the project : a complete rebuild of my hatchback 91 si, starting with the bodyjob an than the engine after. The body will be stock , completely renewed with a lowered suspension, 15inch wheels, tinted windows and new teal paint. I have a sohc ZC non-vtec to put in it but its not important right now, i need to get the body like a new before this.
EDIT : i tought it would be simple if i puted an updated mod list :
- Ractive 4-2-1 header (bought 25$)
- Ractive cold air intake (was in the green civic when i bought it
- Rebuilded ZC sohc non vtec (Acl rod and main bearing, NPR rings and felpro gasket)
- Exedy oem replacement clutch + 8lbs flywheel
- Tokico HP + Unknow ajustable coil spring made in Japan
- Integra 1990-1993 knuckle, caliper and 10.3 disc
- Earls SS brake lines on 4 corners
- 1.6 el turtles 15" rims
- Mangels "spoon style" 14" rims (i have 2 set of rims, just to change when i am bore from one)
- Front and rear strut bar
- Hp + brake pads
- DPFI to MPFI conversion DONE : I bought a new CX shell instead of rebuilding quarters.
- Auto transmission to Manual SI transmission swap DONE
Here are the picture, the car when i bought it (2month ago, about 300$):
Interior :
The engine bay look like this :
Than i stripped of all the interior :
I also get this black 91 dx civic with a destroyed body but lot of goot part for free(the zc is in it)
So i started to get this one stripped too :
The engine bay of the black civic with the sohc zc, only the block, its the dx intake and exhaust manifold but i have the intake, the ecu and a exhaust manifold from another d16a6
And than i finished to get all parts out of the black civic
SO now im in brake because its as a lot of snow outside and i cant see my civic.
I started too buy useful things :
Rear quarter because my green civic have rusty one
here's what my part storage garage look like after this :
And a last pic of my civic to see what it look like while its under snow (whit a protector sheet on it)
That it for the moment, i'll put a lot of news in the next month ! hope you like my project and sorry for my dirty english !!!
Thank you !

Re: 91 HB civic SI build up !
FInaly i had a deal on a completely empty CX shell with no rust(300$), so, ive started puting everything back from the other car on it
A lot of work has been done on the car, i had no internet for long time. im back in to post picture of what happen with the build. here are picture from 2 month ago. i'l post you some more recent pictures in the next days. The car is now running.
Engine bay painted in black (homemade)^^
DA 10.3 front brake swap, tokico HP and ajustable coil. New lower ball joints, Earl's SS brake lines ^^
No more rust(new CX shell) + acura EL turtle 15" rims^^
Freshly rebuilded Sohc ZC (ACL rod and bearing, NPR rings, Felpro all gasket)
I also putted a OEM replacement clutch from EXedy with a fidanza 8lbs flywheel. It goes pretty well. i am now looking for an exhaust line to put the car back in the street.
Say what you think ! more pic later

Re: 91 HB civic SI build up !
Looking good so far. Wish I could find Hondas around here, that aren't completely rusted out, for $300 bucks, or free for that matter. Where did you get the replacement body panels? I need quarter panels and rocker panels for mine.

Re: 91 HB civic SI build up !
I picked up my exhaust line 2D after school. I also installed it on the car. it sound so nice and so clean (bone stock with ractive headers). I am very proud of me now that the car is drivable on the street. its been 2 years that i have started to rebuild some of the part. I realise that my first ZC automatic civic was a real **** ride compare to what the ZC can give at the moment i am speaking to you. Thank you for looking at my thread, Thank you HT for all the mechanical information reliated at honda ef. Here is a little picture update

Re: 91 HB civic SI build up !
very nice gyspy. now i imagine its just the angle.. but for some reason the engine seems to sit a little higher on the left side then on the right. weird lol.
a friend of mine has the same color ef as yours. he recently rebuilt a zc for it.
i don't have pics of the rest of the car but i can assure you its in terrible condition compared to yours lol. someone tried to widen the fenders by grabbing them with vice grips and bending a little bit at a time
