i just got this rocky mountain stump puller today... a friend i went to tech school totalled out my accord so i needed a new shell for my motor. It needs some tlc but im so relieved there is not one ding in the body. Also has a half as shave and tuck but nothing some sand paper and time wont fix. I have always wanted one of these.
I think im going to get the d series motor in it running so i can dd and pull out my f20b on the accord and save up for the swap after i repaint the body. just looked like it need saving from a rough future.
I know this much im not taking any short cuts






















my old build!!!

ouch that doesn't look good you sure the f20b is still ok ? is that a z6 in the hatch now ?

ColbyCD5

yes the bottom of my trans housing was cracked and ill need new headers.

the car has a freshly re machined mini me in it.

I don know if i wanna keep the f20b and sell it just cause i have to cut the area around the shifter for my linkages but i wanna do somethin different

Why don't you do a H2b (aka F2b) swap? You won't have to cut for your cables since you would be using a B tranny and shift linkage.

QSD makes a h2b/f2b kit.

ColbyCD5

i probably am going to end up doing the f2b after i pull my motor i need a cherry picker
BAD ill post pics of the f20b tommorrow

do you know how i can remove that terrible body filler job.
i think i would rather have my firewall holes welded or plugged
or atleast re prep it its my only car so im using the d series as i build it

heres a few pics of my swap and car-

Heres a few updates today started stripping down the car and boy after seeing what the previous owner did to this one, make me wonder why he attempted to build it in the first place. My sixteen year old brother could have thought of a better place to run wires, and notice the rivets around the shifter and terrible welds. I decided to just take it down bare and re do it from ground up. Notice i think thats the main harness he just cut off in the cab .Also heres a few things we got in the shop and old Volkswagen van the cylinder jug was cracked or there was damage to three of them. They say you can run these old air cooled engines on two cylinders.
Also did an automatic trans service on a prelude. Highlights of my day. Seems like i might as well put the motor on the log splitter

that hatch looks to be in rough shape..

But an F2D kit should be good for ya and save some time..


good luck to ya with the build.. looks like a great project!

started tearing down my f20 on lunch today to check the internals and build up the bottom end






Turned to head over and check the valve so guess ill leave them alone since they were re done 5000 miles ago
also found some small scratches on the edge of the combustion chamber





Also on of the valve seals are leaking sorry for the bad quality pic


The **** we get in the shop. i swear there wasn three feet of space between hello kitty objects.

ColbyCD5

well really wanted too see if i could get this thing running. So my friend started tearing apart the wiring harness to see what kind of wire tuck the previous owner did. The results were horrid; v tech taped up to a random 12v lead in the engine harness. all the grounds were twisted and taped together. The soldiers were poorly made. So we just started tearing it back down as i put bolts back in places they need to be.



The bondo ed plate on the fire wall made me sick to my stomach so it had to go. The bondo was still soft and was almost a half in thick. And after tracing the harness we decided to go by CFC in tullahoma to pick up another one off a automatic civic.I decided to just run it through the stock locations on the firewall.







This was holding the dip stick to the block and it was wrong dip stick




And after a few hours of wanting to call the previous owner and say a few unwise words

And a quarter mile down the road the trans gives me trouble.

whatdoyoumean

good to see someone else doing something with the f20b i got one in my eg. are you planning on doing anything to it at all.

ColbyCD5

my old build thread for the f20b is in here but i plan on getting kaizenspeed balance shaft removal new rings i just want 200 to the wheels whats a good camshaft to use besides skunk2

Libertariat

Skunk2 is honestly a reliably good camshaft. Pro1's make phenomenal power on H22/h23/F20B engines. There are a lot of H2B guys with cams, headwork, and bolt ons running low 12's high 11's.

230-250whp+

ColbyCD5

What about kteller? I ran automatic f20b camshafts crower springs and retainers with skunk 2 im and Omni power 68mm tb + precision 440 injectors tuned on p28 crome made 186 to the wheels; stock bottom end.

Libertariat

Kteller what? I don't think they make cams, they do however make great exhaust kits and have very good pricing and AMAZING customer service.

And a 70mm TB wouldn't hurt either.

Edit: I haven't seen you mention an h2b kit, have you considered this? An h2b kit will make your car a lot faster per dollar spent than anything else.

My axle popped out the other day. I did a bit of research and it says auto axles should work but it has hasport d/b series mounts (previous owner). does anyone know a setup to get my d series mini me going so i can daily the car again. HELP
