Just waiting on money at this point. My friend is in the process of measuring my motor to see what kind of machine work will be needed. So far it looks like the main caps will need a slight hone/bore to make them perfectly round again. Still need to measure the rods. Crank is good though.

Brought the block over to a friend of mine at Apex Motorsports to have everything measured out before sending it off to the machine shop this week. Mains were a little oval'ed out so were going to do a minor align hone on it, along with a few other things.
Getting done this week:
Bore/Hone Cylinders
Align Hone Mains
Micropolish Crank

Yeah stock B18 Type R. I never even really got into the throttle in that entire video. There was a couple 3/4 throttle rips for second or two. Cant wait to get the new motor together and really let it rip!

Yes, it has a custom Vibrant 3" aluminum exhaust on it. Video does it no justice!

Haha, thanks man. Its tough for me too..I havent driven it in over 5months now!
I didnt build the exhaust, but yes I am pretty sure it was built using the Vibrant piping. I LOVE the way it sounds, has a totally different note to it than most Hondas I have heard..from what Ive found on their site, it wasnt cheap to build.
Sorry to thread jack, but I recently picked up an Aztec Green 92 Integra GSR, and have always hated the way the exhaust bends. Do you know if yours was pieced together using the aluminum piping on vibrant's site? I'm only curious because they mention its for use only with intercooler piping/intake piping.
Basically I wanna copy you, hahaha.

block should be back from the machine shop this week. Then I just need to order the bearings, piston rings and ARP hardware to assemble the short block.
