my name is john and this is my first honda build. i used to have a few dsm's but they got old after a while. i bought my hatch about 2 years ago and been daily driving it, but now its time to start building it. ive researched alot and have a pretty good idea what i want. the first thing im doing is all the suspension work brake line tuck, and wire harness tuck which you will see in the following pictures.

parts i have

integra front and rear brakes, 4040, master cylinder, booster
tein springs
tokico struts
asr rear subframe brace and sway bar(on order)
energy suspension bushing kit and they say its a "master kit" but it really isnt

for the engine im shooting for around 425-450 horse.

parts i have

b16 head
ls block
arp head studs
golden eagle vtec kit
fidanza flywheel
hondata s200

heres a few pics of some of the parts i have and the progress that ive made so far

 

heres some pics of the car and also a pic of my 00 si

let me kno what you all think

 

Nice start! It looks like your going for an lsvtec. Should be a pretty quick car. Are you going with a NA or FI build?

 

Good luck with your build. Remember NA>*

Nice,keep it coming!

 

yea ls vtec turbo. https://honda-tech.com/forums/forced-induction-16/engine-build-ls-vtec-sc61-2501801/ thats my list on my engine build. i used to have a couple dsm's and theres nothing like boost. i have a high comp ls v in my si rite now but... i miss boost. slowly but shearly im making progress. waiting for my buddy to bring over his air powered brake bleeder so i can drain the system and complete the brake line tuck. but ill keep everyone posted on my progress

p.s. si is forsale with out engine trans

lol o yea i sold the stock d15 and trans for $325 you think it was a good deal?

 

made some progress this weekend on the wire harness. i bolted up a mock engine and bolted it in and lenthened the harness where i needed to. im having second thoughts on how im sticking the harness through the firewall. 1) because i cant figure out how to seal the hole. 2) making it disconnectable easliy.

 

i also ordered wire sheathing to wrap the harness in from wirecare.com

 

pressed out the old bushings,painted the control arms and sway bar. sprayed my first coat of undercoat in the wheel wells. got my new prothane trailing arm bushings prolly going to get new front wheel bearings next week and go over my buddies house to use his press to finish the suspension. got my arp wheel studs but i ordered stock size and i wanted extended so i got to return them. also got my new wire loom. stay tuned!!

 

got some more work done, pressed in all new bushings and started putting everything back together. finally got my asr subframe brace and sway bar in. also made a plate to cover up the heater controls.

 

also got new wheel bearings and tie rod ends

 

nice...hope u are keepin it captive blue

 

yea... ive thought about painting it white, black, red. but i am going to stick with the original color, because im not puting a carpet back in it so i didnt really want to rip everything out plus i do like the color i havent seen that many of them in that color

 

gl with the build

john

 

in for updates!

 

ive been determining which turbo i want to use on my car im shooting for around 400-450 whp, im looking into a holset hx35w which will be a pretty good turbo from what ive read. also they pretty cheap, i work at a diesel shop where we rebuild and put together engines for generators, pumps, etc. a guy i work with was looking around the building the other day and found a old core engine with a hx35w so im going to see if the owner will sell it. anyways just got my trans its a 01 gsr i took the case off it and and looks very good the reverse gear is a little ground down but i think thats normal. also bought a intercooler and had the welder at work weld some threaded tabs and mounted her up!

 

looking good so far playa.

 

nice suspension work! build is looking good!

 

dam thats sweet

 

thanks. yea it finally starting to come along. the guy that i sent my lower end to is kind of dicking me around havent talked to him ina bout 3 weeks.... but hopefully updates sooooooon!!

john

 

sweet build! Good Luck!!
