Well I picked up a stock b16 for $400 (and it was dirty), so I could drive my car while I finished my build. I decided to see if I couldnt throw down a budget turbo set up to keep me boosted while I wait. I had a bunch of stuff laying around so I threw it all together.
I picked up a greddy downpipe mani and turbo for $150 the downpipe was such trash I built a 2.5 inch one I think I will have the motor in the car next weekend!!
Enjoy

 

It looks like it's coming along. What car are you putting it in? What moderate hp numbers are you hoping to pull?

 

Nice! What was your method of cleaning up that block?

 

That does look nice. I just got done doing the same thing with my b16 (except I got mine for free ). I painted my block with high temp paint after I cleaned it up as good as I could. Did you paint yours?? Good luck with the project.

 

what was the method you used to clean the block

 

i like how a Type R valve cover and some cleaning can make a B16 go from gay to sweet.

 

Well I didn't paint the block I started with some simple green and sprayed it down let it soak. I then waited about then minutes and hit it with a wire brush and then hit the motor with a hose, after that it was all tooth brush and some elbow grease.

 

that b16 has a auto tranny flywheel! gross>
anywho, good job with the cleanup on that b16. looks sweetup!

I use this engine cleaner that only Pep-boys sells. Forgot the name but it's in a black can with the words STEAM on the side of it. Very good stuff.

Very nice man, and is that paint on the Manifold or High temp coating?

But man, those B16 Auto cams gotta go. It's like non existent for Vtec.

 

I'm still impressed with landing a running b16 for 400 bucks. Wish I could catch those deals. I can hardly ever find good heads for 400.

I have some CTR cams I could throw in there, but then I guess I would need some valve springs! trying to keep it cheap

 

Looks awesome!

How Did You Get The Inside Of The Webbing Clean?

 

What kind of wire brush? Dirt and grease is easy to remove, its the oxidation that Im impressed with.

When i did that to my engine i just used a wire brush i picked up at good old Home Depot. alot of elbo grease Then i realized i had a compressor so i picked up a air tool and put a brush on that.

That engine went from POS to bling bling

+1 I never come across stuff like that.

Motor looks real clean though! I need to clean my d16 block

 

Looks good, still rockin your spearco intercooler.

 

Yes but what kind of brush? Cuz steel would scratch the **** out of it. I bet he used brass.

 

looks really nice, im glad your putting the extra effort in. i cant stand when people do a swap and put some filthy motor into their bay

I used a brass brush this way it didnt scuff the block up to bad. most of the webbing though I used the tooth brush.
