my first honda build!
well a while back i picked up a 93 hatch cx with the d15 in it for $250. this car what beat to hell had not much interior and body is mangled but nothing that cant be fixed.
first thing i did was i pulled my d15 and traded it and a 4g63 shortblock for a b18c1 swap that needed a rebuild so i tore it town and did the all motor swap gsr.
got the valve cover powdercoated
got intake manifold for it
now the install
the trans
After
then got bored of that and the tear down 2 begins......after 500 miles lol
got some h beams and pistons for it
intercooler
install
then i changed manifold both exhaust and intake and turbo
added some interior
and now the real build starts..... i dont have alot of pix yet for the new setup but ill give you a peak
portflow full race head (b16)
aem cop
sleeved b18a 84mm
Cams

This is how out looks right now about to go to the body shop

Re: my first honda!
Lookin pretty solid so far, but why did you tear it down so many times and not just set a goal, research, buy it all right the first time so you didnt have to keep tearin it down?

Great build bro. What color/product did you paint the block? What color code is the paint you used for your Valve cover?

Re: my first honda build!
Lol well ask motor setup cost me about 800 plus the rebuild parts quick was like 300. The second setup with a rebuild again rods pistons new studs machine and this with about a grand.the new setup I'm already 6k deep and still need few things.so all together I'm almost 8000 into it minus paint
