Hey peeps..thought I'll just do a lil post on my new wife back here in Malaysia. Used to roll in a b18c1 eg and then upgraded it to a b20vtec when I was still at the states for 5 years.

I'm currently doing a rebuild on the engine as my timing belt snapped a couple of weeks ago.

Planned upgrades:

82mm 12.5 compression ratio Wiseco pistons
Skunk2 Pro Intake Manifold
370cc Injectors

Plausible (Do give your input on this as I'm still currently debating on whether I should spend more money having already spent a ton on my car already)

Skunk2 Pro2 Stage2s camshafts and valvetrain
STR 68 or 70mm Throttle Body
Skunk2 Composite Fuel Rail

Enjoy and all comments on the build and car appearance are welcome

That is one clean 96-spec! Very nice find! Did snapping the t-belt hurt the head at all?

Re: JDM ITR all the way from Asia
 

JDM Front for the win... great 96spec.

Re: JDM ITR all the way from Asia
 

LOL! All JDM Type-R's have JDM Front ends...unless they are into USDM conversions. lol!

Re: JDM ITR all the way from Asia
 

i would love to find me a ***** that wants a usdm front! we can trade:P

OP nice snatch on the JDM ITR:thumbup:

Re: JDM ITR all the way from Asia
 

I know, pure JDMnes. (own import myself)

Re: JDM ITR all the way from Asia
 

nice

Re: JDM ITR all the way from Asia
 

Looks great! Throw up more pics if you take any more!

Re: JDM ITR all the way from Asia
 

96 spec with a 98 spec rear bumper

Re: JDM ITR all the way from Asia
 

???

Re: JDM ITR all the way from Asia
 

very nice

Re: JDM ITR all the way from Asia
 

Can't deny that the 98 Spec bumper looks better.. imo.

Oh, did the 96 Specs come with that steering wheel? thought they came with non-srs.

Re: JDM ITR all the way from Asia
 

You're right. The '96 Spec ITR can with a non-SRS steering wheel. The SRS wheel was available when the '98 Spec was introduced.

Re: JDM ITR all the way from Asia
 

Thank you guys!

This was the only one of it's kind, at least for sale as I was looking for a genuine ITR, not a converted one.

Well, 8 of the intake valves and 2 of the exhaust valves were bent along with cracked valve guides. The others were fine, the head is ready now..back from the machine shop, currently waiting for the bottom end to be bored.

LOL there are *****s..I'm one btw or locals here that ARE into the usdm front end thingy, baffles my mind..I guess the grass is always greener on the other side.

Yeaps it does not come with a SRS Steering wheel, the steering looks more like a CTR steering wheel to me, correct me if I'm wrong.

Any input on the build??

Re: JDM ITR all the way from Asia
 

That steering wheel is from '98-spec, EK9 as well

Re: JDM ITR all the way from Asia
 

if i were you i wouldnt even touch the bottom end if there is nothing wrong with it. it's a huge job . avoid headache

Re: JDM ITR all the way from Asia
 

You have toda C2 and u want skunk 2 Pro stage 2? I wouldn't go through the trouble, sounds like a downgrade to me...

Also you have a port and polished intake manifold and still want to buy a skunk 2 pro intake manifold? I doubt it is a good investment... And as for the TB, might be a good idea to go bigger than stock since your boring the block 82 mm's along with those 370cc fuel injectors and fuel rail... But Keep the money from the intake manifold, cam and valvetrain and get a good tune! Nice car, but we need an Engine Bay pic or GTFO! ;)

Re: JDM ITR all the way from Asia
 

what? something wrong?

Re: JDM ITR all the way from Asia
 

The sleeves are tapered all the way across hence the use of oversized pistons. It's a very tired engine at 278,000km (174,000 miles) anyway..so I guess it'll be a good thing to do.

The cams were recommended by the tuner, said he has been doing a lot of tune ups with the skunk2 and they make more power over the midrange to top end, i might just do a cam comparison if possible =). Ohh as far as the manifold is concerned, the previous owner told me only the cylinder head has been p&p'ed, the im is not so yeaa

Haha will definitely take pics of the build up later in the day!

Re: JDM ITR all the way from Asia
 

I think what these guys are talking about is the factory p&p job done on the head and IM... they are already very foo foo from Honda! :thumbup:

Re: JDM ITR all the way from Asia
