I recently bought a 89 Honda Civic w/b18a. It was done halfass and deff. needed redone. The veh. condition is mint, interior and exterior is very clean. The engine was smoking and just worn out. The old owner had drag raced the car and ran it on alot of nitrous. My plan for this car is just make it a all around street/ track car.
I been holding this project off due to plans to buy a ef crx race shell.
When I first got it:

Yup that was me..I remember running a mid 15's that night....It was so busy there that night.NE way the rota i sold to a buddy of mine..100$ luck bastard..lol

 

Looks good I'll be doing the same thing as you but with B18a when money is good. I just finished swap in my 90 ek is it possible you can help me out by emailing me alfb350@aol.com the vacuum route you have on the car. I can't really see all the vacuum hose there. I am confused on how to hook it up. I really appreicate it! Sorry to jack your thread at least I said it looks good!

I'll try to PM you a good pic of the vac. tomorrow..

 

Thanks! let us know how it goes after you get it done keep us posted!

 

good work

 

sweet project, where did you buy that aem big brake upgrade from?

 

look like a pretty sick build. What type of header did you have on the b20b i think the one i just bought off ebay is the same one.

 

Nice build keep us updated!

 

Very nice. B20 turbo...should be a Torque-fest .

I reused the header off the old b18 engine. It's starting to crack but hopefully i get the turbo set up done soon....so bye bye headers.

 

Looks good man, quick question though..whos going to be tuning your car once it's turboed?

 

looks nice, a rare sight-ef in pa with no rust. anyways, what do you think of the b20 compared to the b18? is there a notable increase in hp/tq?

 

that ssac 57 trim should spool nicely with the 2.0L nice work but I gotta say I prefered the rotas

 

Looks good, don't forget the oil restrictor if you plan on running a -4AN line to that turbo.

 

Man, very nice EF. I love the B20 turbo setup you're going with. I'm going to hook up a D15/Y8 mini me in my 91 EF and hopefully turbo it as well. Did you do all the work yourself or have a shop do it for you? Good luck with the build, let us all know your progress and the out come!
Later, Davey

 

what are you going to do about the big brake kit? are you going to sell it and go with something not so...uhh...big?

 

do alot of people on here run the SSAC turbos. that looks exactly like mine that im going to run on my single but mine is a turbo creations. i bought it from a friend brand new for $150.

nice build. love the heliums

 

Your going to hate those aem big brakes, mine didnt help stop for **** and added rotational mass Selling them was my best move ever. Other than that, project looks good What engine mang you going to run?

 

how do u like the B20 compared to the B18?

 

Is there a lot of vibration with that B20 swap? Looks very nice and must be fun!

Power wise they seem the same, there's not a major difference, but this b20 is in so much better condition then the b18 that was in the car.

The vibration is not that bad, but I do have the HASPORT race mount, so they do rattle quite a bit.
