Well I think it's about time someone reps for the OLD SCHOOL DB's. So I think i'll take on the job :D. This is my turbo LS-Vtec DB1 build thread. I have a 1990 LS that I traded a buddy of mine for my 99 civic lx. You guys may think it was a stupid trade but I LOVE this car (and I don't have to pass emissions) lol so yeah here it is.
I HAVE MY INTERCOOLER, TURBINE HOUSING, ITR CAMS (courtesy of HONDA-TECH.COM lol), COMING IN THIS WEEK. I ALSO WILL HAVE A PIC OF A VALVE COVER IM GETTING THIS WEEK AND WILL BE TAKING PICS OF THE TYPE "R" LIPS I BOUGHT THE OTHER DAY
MY BABY (those rims arent on there, it sits on steelies)

RIGHT AFTER I TOOK IT OFF OF THE ROAD, THOSE RICER LIGHTS ARE NOT MY DOING AND THEY ARE COMING OFF SOON

THE OLD LS READY FOR RETIREMENT

STOCK BARE LS BLOCK, 81 MM


MY POWER ADDER, GT35R





B16 HEAD

DURING THE SANDING STAGE OF THE FAT FIVES

AFTER I HALF ASSED ONE OF THE RIMS

THE FIRST ONE REDONE CORRECTLY

THE SECOND RIM REDONE CORRECTLY

VALVE COVERS I BOUGHT THE OTHER NIGHT

THE BLACK ONE BEFORE I STRIPPED IT YESTERDAY

THE STRIPPED RESULT AND PARTLY WETSANDED NOWHERE NEAR DONE

MY NEW FMIC 27*11*3 WITH 2.5 INTLETS



MOST OF THE WETSANDING DONE ON THE VALVE COVER BUT STILL A LOT MORE TO GO

 

good luck man

 

Thanks bro, I can't wait to see it when it's done

 

wow looks good

 

I like the fat 5 rims!

 

type r cams and crower 404's?

 

The Type R's are for my B16 and the 404s were for my LS because I was gonna semi build the motor that's in my car now and sell it for money for my real build but now that's scratched lol

 

bump for a fellow ctVTACer...


do a 93 front, also I had a set of 404s in an ef-LSt , It moved.

 

YEZZZIR lol.....nice. I was thinkin about doing a 93 front who knows...still trynna get the motor together

 

bump for new pics

 

Bump for new pics!

 

BOTTOM SIDE HIT WITH THE 2000 GRIT, THE REST 1500, ALMOST THERE THIS ANGLE LOOKS BETTER IN PERSON

YES THATS A REFLECTION OF THE WINDOW, DISREGARD THE BLACK PAINT STILL ON THERE, IT'S ENTIRELY TOO HARD TO GET OFF AND IS BEING COVERED WITH A SPARK PLUG COVER ANYWAYS

 

PICS OF MY COMPRESSOR HOUSING I DID YESTERDAY, PERSONALLY I HATE THE WAY IT CAME OUT BECAUSE I WASNT ABLE TO GET INTO EVERY INCH OF IT BUT I GUESS IT'S CUZ IM A PERFECTIONIST (5HRS TOTAL)

 

bump for a fellow db1 owner. keep it gangsta homes. lol

 

very nice setup, and DB1. I want to go B20/Vtec on mine but im not sure yet, what do you think?? I want to show everyone that DB1s arent slow...
