Re: 1995 Acura Integra SE progress thread.
thank you sir.
well I had 1 idea for the rwd. awd crv trans with no front axles. but since it's not strong enough that idea is in the trash.
a friend of mine is building a 4g63 and he is mounting the engine 90 degrees in rotation. like a 240 engine.
so if he can do it. why can't I?
yea why do this in the Acura when I can buy a 240? 240s are known for rwd. not many rwd Acuras out there.
yea it'll require heavy modification.
some firewall delete, front subframe modification. those are my biggest problems. I see the read diff and drive shaft and rear axles as cake compared to this...
All this if course if I feel like high hp numbers aren't getting the launch they deserve...
The 500 hp is a for sure. rwd is iffy.
just waiting on one of my jobs to really take off so I can start my build.
engine will be built by me. fab work will be done by me if it does occur.
so no money being spent on someone else's labor. just on parts.

Re: 1995 Acura Integra SE progress thread.
car looks nice. 100x better after paint and the gold rims look really good with that blue.
a word of warning though. If you didn't do any work to that bottom end, 7800 rpm will kill it fast. LS rods have weak bolts in them, and don't take kindly to revs higher than the stock limit. I wouldn't go very much past about 7300-7400 on stock rods (and that's only based off the fuel cut being set to 7200rpm

but thanks for that info. I'll keep it under 7500 now.
when I got the head. I just resurfaced it and put it on.
I didn't think of valve guides. and now it burns oil sometimes I blame the guides. because before it wouldn't burn any oil so i don't think it's the rings.
I hardly drive it right now. mostly drive it when I don't want to spend a fortune on gas in the Infiniti. and I knew very little about cars when I got the Acura so I put a fart can on it(ANNOYING). probably the only downside. no now that I have a welder. I'm putting the stock back on in the next week or so.
but thank you.

Re: 1995 Acura Integra SE progress thread.
Boy what plans huh?!?^^^
Lol
500 hp. Iffy rwd. Damn!!
None of that ever happened!!
After trying to salvage my engine,
I rehoned the block myself. Threw hasting rings in.
Ran good, then a loud knock/ticking noise came about.
Thought it was a bearing. Pulled the engine out, drained the oil, didn't see any shavings.
Don't know what the issue with it was.
But I got another engine for it. B18a1.
Here's pics&progess.
Cut my am inch or so out of my shifter and welded it back up
Got horrible exhaust leak fixed
Old engine pulled
Had bad oil leak
DISGUSTING
New to me engine
Time to get cleaning
Adjusting valves for compression
It's pretty clean. But not clean enough.
Gonna paint it aluminum tomorrow hopefully
Cleaned the nasty engine bay and got it one color!
Wheel wells and subframe being painted black tomorrow
Black headlight covers
Black abs motor
New rack boots
Re did wiring harness
Injen cai
Harness and intake and shift boot chillin in the room
How it sits right now
Tow hooks now black
I did get oem shocks and going to use skunk 2 springs
What's to come
Here's some just cuz pics. Back in the day
Sex
What's to come, actual ice box with ice maybe done tomorrow, and...idk what else haha. I'll post pics and info.

Re: 1995 Acura Integra SE progress thread.
Wow so much in 1 page! Haha
Some updates
This weather and lack of a clean garage is making this build so slow!!!
Polished parts
Have b20 VC polished but no pics
Engine mounts and heat shield and pulley
Cleaned up the flywheel and pressure plate
Although it is really smooth
I'm thinking of taking a wire wheel to it to rough it up?!
Gotta have good sound
Finally put the IM on for good!
Ports and polished, ports covered up.
Just have to put and oil pressure sensor T on to drop the engine.
Don't wanna drop it and and have to deal with the T on the block while it's in, such a pain in the ***.
Also got magna flow exhaust
