Ok for starter i have a 97 ex coupe w/ Ls swap. A couple weeks a ago my timing belt crap out on me as u can see below. Bented a bunch of valves so now its time for a new engine.
Sucks because this was my daily driver to school and work.

My car



Cheap belt from Advance Auto Parts this is only about 65k miles on it


Ordered a few parts from Majestic



My new engine of choice is a B20b from hmotorsonline.com and being shipped as im writing this up. In the mean time i been taking things apart trying to get it ready.




I figured i take one of these too sence everyone has one.




***Ok this is for those of you that might be still confuse about what mounts and bracket to use.You will need these first before even try to start this type of swap.***

First is the driver side engine bracket.You can get this from an 99-00 Si.



Next is the rear engine/tranny bracket thats by the firewall.Also from a 99-00 Si.



And lastly you can reuse the D-series tranny bracket. I think there might be other ways to make this part work but, this is the way i did mines.



The engine mounts of choice that i got are these.I hope that help answered some question for some of you.


Many more update w/ pic soon.

 

That's gotta suck.

 

Yeah I tolled her home change the belt and did a compression test.Cylinder 1 & 4 was +/-165, cylinder 2 & 3 was like 30 or 40 psi .I could of just got a new head but i knew the rings was bad also(burning oil). So i figured i just buy a new engine for it.

 

A few shots i still have back when i did the paint job.




After:

 

clean start

 

What made you go with the B20? Didn't want to put another LS in it?

 

nice

 

have fun with the torque man, car looks nice

 

it getting there

 

Torque FTMFW!!

 

Im finishing up school so im trying to keep cost down as much as i can. Plus i ordered two b20, the other is for an integra im fixing up to sell.

 

good project, just not a fan of the shaved moldings.

 

This will be good

 

Updates:

Got the engine out and in the process of cleaning up the bay to paint.



While i was doing that the UPS and Fedex guys showed up.Got the clutch and Walbro pumps form Lightningmotorsports.com, the the fuel guage & regulator form Summitracing.com



Still waiting on the engines they should arrive in the next couple of days...hopefully

 

Yeah me too, i got the car the way it is a few years back. I personally think it would look nice if i had black molding on the car.

 

Bump for a floridian.

 

Absolutely gorgeous man! Nice work!

 

Been raining here in florida so didnt get much done. Here's a shot of what came in yesterday.

 

nice work

 

Raining B20's?

 

Lol yeah i hate to see one of that fall out of the sky.

 

lol!

 

those are real clean..did they come like that? if so hmotors ftw

 

Yeah they did, well they were on crates and wraped real tight with foam and plastic. I tore them off to get it on the truck.

Not much more updates going on. Still waiting on the Innovative motor mounts to arrive. A few more honda parts did come in.

 

Did you buy two B20's for one car or am I missing something?
