97 coupe with a 2.0L b16b
Thought I would share a couple of pics of my long time project. This was the first car I've ever bought over 9 years ago so its been quite a process of building and learning. When I first bought it I didn't know the difference between a horn and a thermostat. I won't lie I blew up (spun #4 rod bearing) generally beating on it like the bad racecar I thought it was. I picked up a b16b swap on Ebay from Japan, yes Ebay and it came with basically everything in the front clip.
I ran that stock for a year and decided to build it up to a 1.8 over the winter in my kitchen, haha! I put down 205/140 to the wheels with that so naturally I wanted to go bigger. That was about 5 years ago, I bought a wrangler and that was my project while most of the Honda sat and sat. I finally decided to finish the build this past winter, for those that care a build sheet follows. I will post more pics as I go along, this is just to get something started as most stuff is in mockup close to completion. Doing a wire tuck, battery relocation, brake line tuck.
b16b block sleeved to 85mm by Benson's (thanks Earl, R.I.P)
GSR micropolished crank
Crower ultralight rods
CP ceramic coated radiused pistons (thanks T-Bone)
ARP headstuds
ARP pressure plate/flywheel bolts
Clutchmasters 6 puck
ATI super damper
PR3 head from Portflow
JG old style intake manifold
Hondata gasket
RC 370 injectors
Golden Eagle rail
JDM Integra Type R trans
Rage header
Omni Short clutch cylinder

Getting closer to getting the engine bay all done. Have to polish the letters on the valve cover, run a couple vacuum lines, sandblast and paint the intake and finish the catchcan setup. Then the wiring begins.....

Oh Yeah, should be pretty peppy.
I don't know exactly how much its cost so far, I have saved all of the receipts in a drawer and someday I will count them up! It's all been worth it just going through the learning process.

Yeah I painted it, with wrinkle black like you did. I'm pretty surprised how good it came out, did it a couple of times until I was happy with it lol.
