OK, so I need some more experienced honda guys/gals to help me out on this. I'm building up a b18b1 motor for boost that is going to go into my EK hatch. Here are the parts I've ordered for the motor thus far:

OEM honda water pump
OEM honda timing belt
OEM type R oil pump
full gasket set
cometic 81.5mm head gasket
ross pistons/eagle h-beam rods .5mm overbore on pistons
ARP head studs/main bolts
ACL bearing set
Moroso stock capacity oil pan (stock one is fubar'd)

My question is, am I missing anything that is more honda specific? I know I have most of the standard rebuild parts, but I really don't know what I'm going to need to do to get it all back together. I *think* the valvetrain is all ok, so I'm going to try and just have the head decked enough to make it flat and have the block bored .5mm over and decked at the head mating surface.

Do I need to do anything with the LS crank, and am I missing anything else? Thanks in advance!

edit - adding to the question, what should I expect to need to get the swap in? I am under the impression that the stock motor mounts will work, and the stock shift linkage will too...I'll need a GSR trans or something along that line, and hondata/p28 chipped ecu, and a dizzy of some sort, but what should I do for axles and which dizzy is recommended?

 

Anyone?

 

I would have the valve springs upgraded.These heads are 10-20 years old in some cases,and with boost your probably going to be pushing the limit on stock springs.

 

more then anything if u spent money on all the oem parts u should have just got aftermarket...fuel pump injecters etc.! that will make it much more reliable more air flow needs more fuel.
