This build is perfect. You went from a grocery getting weekend project car and once the sickness set in a full on grocery getting cover car. I love the car and everything that you are doing with it. It looks like the most fun I ever had.

I was debating this for a while before I bought it. I read good and bad things about them, but nothing that was specifically linked to the pulley. My original one got destroyed and I got the brand new ctr pulley with belt for less than any used gsr pulley's came across so I went with it. Preciate you lookin out man

I'd love an ATI a little ways down the road

Oh and I believe evan ran the CTR pulley on his GSR motor. Just food for thought, not sure if there is a right or wrong answer to this.
I feel the same man, and I'm not sure either. Thanks for the input though Mike

The idea is that it is not phased with the crank and will cause vibrations that will damage the oil pump. I had read somewhere that a guy was concerned about it so he just went and got the pulley balanced. The amount it was off was so miniscule it wasnt even worth getting it done, but who knows how identical all those pulleys are.

I ran one on my GSR for 40k miles, and I never had an issue. The motor had 143k on it when I sold the hatch and still ran strong
Thanks for the reassurance man

Thanks a lot man, very much appreciated. A feature would be awesome, but I'm not holding my breath lol. If it happens it happens. I can't wait to drive it the first time

To keep this build related I picked up some new axle seals from Honda so I could get the refreshed half shaft installed



The half shaft came out great!



Got the hardware nice and cleaned up and ready to go on



And installed



Also spent a little time workin on the harness

Here's the supplies



Looking a little better



Let the extending begin!



Got a nice package today from nsxter, thanks again man!



I wonder what it could be?



Possibly new cams?



JDM CTR cams



2 dimples ftw! Just need a little cleanin and they will be good to go

Wasn't happy with the original cam choice and felt like the GSRs were going to limit the engines potential. The CTR cams should do just fine

Also got the front bumper cleaned up and ready to go on



And here's a quick close up of the new bay hardware and the freshly coated brackets



Got a couple things comin so check back for more updates soon!

I love this build. It's everything I'd want to see in a proper Honda build. I truly admire someone who doesn't paint their engine with Alumabrite. I'm so sick of seeing that stuff.

Keep up the awesome build.

I got them from a user on another forum. Got them for under 300 shipped for the pair. They need a little cleaning but overall good condition. Try ebay maybe?

Thanks for the words man. And I'm not a fan of painted motors either. Clean metal works for me

Made some progress on the engine harness last night

Got it all separated and started de-pinning all the plugs for looming



Here's some shots of them all loomed up





Mocked it up on the engine to see how it fits, real nice







That's all for now guys. Hope to have the motor in the car in the next 2 weeks. We'll see if that happens or not

Looks good man, for the looming you should have left the plugs off. What I do is start at the ends like you did, then do the next section and so on sliding the loom from the plug end until you get to the main junction, then slide the main sleeve on from the other end.
