By next spring I hope to have this car complete. It will be a third generation Integra with a fully built boosted JDM B18B, JDM ITR front end with little interior (everything behind the front seats will be gone).

A little bit of history

When I was 17 years old I got a 1997 Integra RS Special edition. It was my first car and I put an insane amount of kilometers on it the first year I had it. I got really attached to it. Here are pictures of when I first got her home on April 9th 2006.






On November 6th 2006 I got rear ended by another Integra while he was trying to race a Cavalier with a huge wing on it. It was a really hard hit, sent me flying a good 25-30 feet from almost a dead stop. Ever since I have been having neck/back problems. Its slowly getting better with time.

The guy offered to pay cash to fix my car so I took it to a body shop to get her fixed. While it was already in the body shop I thought I would take the opportunity to get it painted.

After driving it all winter I got the 98-01 front end, a set of red Rota GT3's and a set of Koni Yellow shocks, Eibach springs and rancho sleeves. This is what she looked like when that was all done.









I got bored of the front end and the wheels so I sold them and got the old 94-97 front end and some tear drop G2 Integra wheels.






For a long time I wanted to turbo my car so while I was in college I did a lot of research and bought almost everything I needed to turbo the stock B18B1 with a goal for 200-230WHP.

Shortly after I graduated from college and got a good job as an Airframe Mechanic I wanted to set my goals for power a lot higher. I sold most of the turbo gear I have purchased already and set a new goal for 300-350WHP on a boosted fully built JDM B18B.

And here we are today...

The original plan was to take my Integra to the body shop and get some body work done. The winters have taken their toll on the car. Nothing serious but would be a lot easier to start from a shell that is 100% mint especially with all the work that will be going into the car. So, sadly my Integra that I have owned since I was 17 is going to become my winter car, daily driver and maybe a donor for little things the new shell will need.

I don't have the new shell yet but I am in the process of purchasing one from the southern states. I am hoping to have it by next month so the fun can begin

I will get pictures up as soon as the shell arrives.

its going to be a great build, cant wait for updates.

 

do they pay you for life if you have continous pains from that accident?


ricers racing
continuing to build

 

Nope... And my car wasn't even fixed the way it was suppose to be.. I got the shitty end of that deal.. Lesson learned though. Always go through insurance if you are in a car accident and its not your fault.

 

The engine came yesterday. It was sitting in my drive way when I came home from work. This weekend I am taking it apart.

Nice and Slammed!

 

Got the head off of the block today with my buddy. Here are some pictures.

Before we took it apart I put my manifold on just to see how it would look












I guess we will play the waiting game now for the new engine parts to come in. Looks like I will be staying with the stock bore. From what I could see, the cylinder walls are in really good shape without any scrathes. I will get a better look when we strip the whole block later this week. Also the head should be going out for a port and polish next week, I hope.

The shell still isn't here. It should be here by the end of this month.

We stripped the head today. It should be going out for a port and polish next week.

Stripping the block tomorrow after work.

I will get pictures up tomorrow night.

 

Got a couple new pictures. Didn't have much time to work on it because I have a couple house projects on the go right now so I had to take care of those. Going to try and have the block apart this weekend.

Finally got the block on my stand


Here is a picture of the head now

 

lower water street ftw!

 

Got the pistons out last night.







I Started taping off some parts of the block so I can wire wheel it and paint it. Going to paint the head and the block silver.

I just need to get a crank pulley holder so I can get the rest of the block apart. Having a hard time finding a place to buy one locally so I will have to order one.
