Well this is where I stand with my engine build... All I need is a few more parts and in it goes!!!

Just wanted to share some pics


Spec : Stock B18b rebuild... I know I know... but its a lot more than what I have now!







The only thing now is that I need to figure out how to replace that damn sensor on the back side of the TB with nothing to un-screw it! Looks like it was riveted in or something?

pretty much... Just cleaning it up and putting it together. I dont have the time or money to really put internal upgrades to it.. But I just need to get this motor in ASAP because the one in the car now has well over 250k miles on it and its on its last leg of life... But then again its still running strong and no smoke! woot!

 

sounds like a cool driver. the motor does look really clean.

 

That sensor you are referring to is your TPS sensor. It's calibrated from the factory and that's why it's riveted in place. If you ABSOLUTELY have to replace it with another, you can cut a slot in it using a dremel and unscrew it with a flathead. The correct way would be to purchace an entire throttle body with the TPS sensor installed.

As for your build, what exactly did you build?

Thank you and yes I absolutely have to replace it... Its cracked down the middle... As far as to what exactly did I build? I Re-built a B18b. A buddy sold it to me in pieces and the engine was nasty! So I cleaned it up painted some parts and pieced it back together.

Im just sicked because this is the first engine I ever did.

 

I guess I should ask, what did you replace then? Built, rebuilt, and reassembled are different things in their own respects. What did you replace and how did you inspect each part?

As for your TPS, like I said above, the correct way is to buy a complete throttle body with it installed. Personally, I just took a TPS sensor off at the yards and swapped just the sensor onto my existing throttle body and I have no problems.

 

AAAHHH to many questions!! lol I should change that to "Re-Assembled" I inspected the parts visually and asked other honda junkies to look at a few parts to let me know if its bad or not.

As far as the TPS goes.... I notched the bolts (rivets) and got the top one out fine... The bottom? uuhh it started to come out then snapped inside the F@$&!#% TB...

Its lookin like I need to get a new TB...

 

Looks like it came out of the factory.

 

Looks good, i'm just not feeling the valve cover.

Let us know once you get it installed
