Project: H2B EK - Pursuit of Racecar Dreams
Generally not a Honda guy, but this car came into my life already H22a swapped, at the right time and price, so I gave it another chance at glory.
When I got the car it had no carpet, no headliner, and it leaked water. The reverse lights didn't work (or the third brake light), no windshield sprayers, no horn, and I'm just getting started! The long list of faults continued, as you could expect from a nearly 20 year old economy car that's never seen maintenance.
I started off fixing the above, and a dizzy o-ring, and then I noticed why it was dripping coolant... the radiator neck is tiny! I plugged the leak, got rid of the crappy de-powered power steering rack for a new manual one, and got it all aligned. That's when I broke an axle and decided to go H2B. Right now I plan on assembling the car start to finish once the Kaizenspeed oil pan hits my doorstep.
The parts list:
ITR 4.4FD LSD Trans and Type-R axles
EXEDY Stage 1 clutch
Stock B-Series flywheel
QSD EK H2B Kit
HighEnd Tri-Y Header
Carbon fiber whale ***** intake
Kaizenspeed balance shaft elimination kit
Kaizenspeed H22 manual timing tensioner
Kaizenspeed H2B oil pan (still waiting for this bad boy...)
Innovative Mounts H22 alternator relocation bracket
Energy suspension shifter bushings
New H22 harmonic balancer with A/C pulley removed
+All the other necessary stock parts required for the build
Wheels/Brakes:
Wilwood 4-Piston calipers up front (upgraded front spindles as well)
Scarebird Brakes rear conversion disc brackets
(will use stock Integra calipers and rotors)
Stainless braided brake lines all around
949 Racing 6UL 15x7
Buddy Club P1 15x6
Steelies (wont fit over the brakes now)
Tuning:
Hondata S300 V3
Innovate MTX-L Wideband
Innovate Oil Press/Temp gauge
Dell Tuning Laptop lol
Interior:
OMP Velocita Superleggera steering wheel
NRG Quick release hub
BWR Shift ****
Glowshift gauge pod cluster surround
And a few other bits and pieces.
To come:
Hardrace bushings all around
Hardrace RCA ball joints
R-Comp tires
Corbeau CR1 seats
(and then I'll put a headliner and carpet in it as well
In future I plan to go high compression and E85. We'll see.

Thanks for reading. Good feedback is always appreciated.

Looks like a solid platform to start with. FYI Hmotors has F20B pulleys available they are a single row. Does require the mcmaster spacer. I used the 1/4" spacer vs the 3/8" on EF and it fits perfect. When the engine comes out I will probably shave a 1/8" off the inside of pulley for a bit more room.

I haven't mocked it up with the Innovative Mounts alternator relocation bracket yet, so I'm not sure if I have to take any off the back, I'll get back to you on that.
I might just buy a bunch of pulleys and modify/balance them all at once to help the community out.
