i bought this car earlier this year and lowballed to a price that i couldnt refuse to take as is. $600 and it needed alot of work.

long story short, heres how i got the car.



you can go through all of this! (where i documented all the work)

http://www.hondacivicwagon.com/bb/vi...hp?f=5&t=12457

and you'll get this.



and just TODAY, i started to take out my motor and get it prepped and ready for the B20VTEC with AC son! getting ready for the summers and cruises yo!

here i swapped trans. what was it before was a GSR tranny with a cracked case. and since my turbo car goes through the b16 gears quickly i decided to swap the itr flywheel and gsr trans over to the turbo car and i swapped the 8lb flywheel and b16 trans over to the b20 block.




after sitting there and thinking if i wanted to this or not..i went ahead and starting taking things apart so there is not turning back..so it begins. without any of my cousins help anymore. this will be done by myself.







rolled it out to get some actions going in the bay. started with these 2 mother f'er








more tmorrow.

joliver

I thought you sold your other sedan... lmao

My_EFsedan

nope. i think i will be swapping the red car and sell it as a running car for more.

joliver

single cam that ho... lmao...

Mrevann

jesus another BNB lol

My_EFsedan

bnb runs in my family haha.

joliver.i hate single cam with passion, and why "lmao" so much? what drugs are you taking?

joliver

Im a firm believer in a single cam... Im goin high compression stroked single cam in mine... and im not on drugs... lmao...

My_EFsedan

i grew up with all b series. never raced, modified or beat a single in m life. i hated the wagon driving with the d15 in it.

you "lmao" too much.

joliver

yeah the dual point d15 is slow as hell... but I have a freind with an a6 that is walkin k series... I just think that b series is kind of overkill in an ef... I know there is alot of people out there that will argue with me though...

why does it bother you so much that I use lmao so much??? lmao

Mrevann

My_EFsedan

reallly...walking k series. no comment.

joliver

yes... honestly... it was a first gen k in an ep... but weight was definately on my buddies side because he was in a stripped down ef hatch... but still

joliver

Im not on here tryin to talk **** or anything... so I really dont understand the attitude and ****...

Smokinsax

glad to see another build thread started. I always lurk in your Sedan build thread. I just hope you don't forget about your turbo project.

codybuRr

first gen K is like 160HP.
lol. its not even that torquey. yes i just made that word up.
dana. trust me when i say. i hate the dual point d15. i hate it, i hate it. its so slow.
especially when its mated to an auto transmission. that 4th gear is so LOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNG. jesus.
but just so you know.
heres what is going in my sedan finally after almost 2 years.

i got lucky too, full disk DA brakes all around. the rears are on the back you can't see them that well.

joliver

and i completely agree... they are slow... this one was supercharged on like 6 psi... but still slow... but honestly the a6 I think is pushin like 130hp to the wheels, it has a stock bottom end with a stage 2 cam and a tune

AlphaxOmega

Damn wagon looks clean, wish I had a white one

4dred6

nice

My_EFsedan

i giggled a bit, haha. those ep k are slow.

today i will getting my tranny mated with the block. degrease it some more then get it into the car.

codybuRr

ahah, it is so slow.
but its ok. its meant for daily driving and reliability, not to smash into vtec
and race some random *** single cam.
and yay. your tranny doesn't leak right?
because i remember way back when you had that problem with that case.

My_EFsedan

yea that was the gsr tranny which was originally on the b20vtec. it was leaking bad. so i took the b16 out my turbo car and using it on the b20. im waiting for my throw out bearing to arrive @ 2:30 then i will start putting it together and installed the trans/block in the car and axle.

codybuRr

wooot.
i want to go LS/Vtec eventually.
but for now, ill just daily my LS as is.

My_EFsedan

the motor is in already? you'll love lsvtec. i loved mine so much i gave it a boost, haha!

codybuRr

not yet.
i want to use hasport mounts and linkage.
i still have to convert to manual.
and im going to trade my single cam for some LS things.
gates reinforced belts.
new pulleys.
new tensioner.
all sorts of things.
theres about ~$400 worth of parts for a beater d15b2, its a good trade.
i just want to make sure my LS/Vtec is reliable and i can use it for daily driving and not worry about it dying.

My_EFsedan

sounds good^

so today, i got the motor in. tomorrow is dpfi>>mpfi>>vtec sub harness>>convert obd1>>get ecu chipped.

here i cleaned the motor as much as i could to get that cast color out.


with 2 jacks i slide the motor under the car and bam!


B16 head


gasket in


head on


ended the night like this. Blox manifold is on. all vacuum line is attached, coolant routings are done. clutch, shift linkage, axles, suspension, ..
