Hi,
I was trying to sell my 1996 Acura Integra GSR with 200k miles, but since no one could come up with $4000, I will plan to rebuild it with aftermarket parts.

I recently have many parts for this; sk2 camshafts, gears, valvesprings, arp headbolts, rod bolts, acl bearings, obd1 gsr ecu (will be chipped), New timing belt, water pump, tensioner..

I am in the process of buying OS ctr pistons with the full head gasket set (includes crankcase kit)

Also will be honing the block, due to the age. I think thats bout it... oh also i will be buying new oem valves.

Any suggestions on what else I should get b4 I start?

THanks

no suggestions?

 

ttt

 

no one has suggestions?

 

get aftermarket valves, it will be worth it in the longer run, besides your already going to have the motor tore up, so mind as well. Are you doing this yourself?

 

yeah... doing this by myself... i have already ordered the clutch, gaskets, pistons. im looking into valves.

 

What's your goals with the car? Street driver, drag car, autocross, F/I or N/A, ?

 

street driven, all motor... im not trying to go 100 % octane... i wanna be able to run 91-92 octane..

 

all new seals, obviously, including valve stem seals.

I assume you're getting new rings with those pistons?

 

yes i am... ... im trying to make the motor new as possible

 

well hopefully you do everything you want, and dont skimp out on fiancial issues if you can. I regret rebuilding my motor to OEM specs, and now I'm going to take it apart again, and go all motor for track. What HP do you want to achieve?

 

im not trying to get any amount of horses... its just that i happened to have these parts laying around and would like to use them because its useless, and hard to sell..

i am trying to go oem specs with bearings piston decking... thanks for the responses..

 

Dont forget the rings, they dont come with the pistions.

 

i do have the rings, thanks

 

rebore it and balance it to 2litre for 240$ and get high compression pistons

 

that would be choice
