Well we started with an 89 civic std. stock d15 dpfi. This is not my car but its motor is the one out of my si that i swapped a b18 into. this will just be a way to keep track of the progress we make. the car is fbw2003's and im sure he will be posting here too. the block was dipped and honed and the head was gone through and got a 3 angle valve job and some new seals, also have a d16y8 intake manifold for it and will be doing the mpfi wiring ourselves.

Bring on more photos!
Bump

 

long live the d16a6!!!! nice pics, can't wait to see it done.

i have a very similar project going on.

 

ya when i pulled it out of my car to swap in the b18a it had 179,000 miles and ran like a ****. the engine didnt show much wear at all internally. just had the rebuild to be sure. it did burn some oil im guessin from the bad valve seals.

Those are all the stock pistons too, a wire brush cleaned them up very nicely, shouldve seen them before about 1/16th of an inch of built up carbon on every one.

 

engine is all together now just need to get the pic. they will be come soon.

 

and there he is now^

so tell us a little about the <u>possible</u> turbo build...

 

hf mani, adapter plate, td04 turbo, dsm injectors, nothing huge, i think he might have bought the turbo, mani, and downpipe today.

 

the turbo ,mani and downpipe are on the way

 

tim get the other pictures up before this thread dies.

 

UPDATE UPDATE----- this is g-ride-si on tims name, we got some new pictures of the motor with the head, mani, timing belt etc etc etc on.

oh yea and a few with the turbo on.

 

look's pretty good.im loving all these d16a6 builds......d-series for life:D

 

 

 

looks good! should be alot of fun!

 

we have a question for any turbo sohc guys, should we even attempt to install the motor with the turbo on it? granted the radiator will be out of the way.

 

yeah id so say do it, thats what im doing. make sure the front crossmember is off though.

 

can you put the crossmember back on at all?

 

If you are dropping it on from above... you can easily keep the turbo on. From below.. I'd say just take the turbo off. Taking off the crossmember is harder (hard to get the tie rod ends off the LCA sometimes).

 

ok thats what i was thinkin, i think goin from the top is just easier anyway. i dont think hes gonna turbo it for a couple months now anyway.

 

now in the process of rebuilding the tranny. ill try to get pics of that for you picture ******.
