Default My 99 Si Slow DD Build

This is my first full build, and will be very slow due to lack of funds, just bought a house....

car is a 99 Honda Civic Si , w/ roughly 150,000 miles on it,
Here is the car when i first got it



Mods:
stock b16a bottom end
Strup header
Shunk2 intake mainfold
Shunk2 Throttle body, 68mm
Buddy Club spec 4. cam shafts
Buddy Club cam gears
Supertech springs
Shunk2 TI retainers
AC fuel rail.
AEM Fuel pressure regulator
Walbro 255
apexi exhaust,
magnaflow high flow cat
short shifter
Excedy stage 2 clutch and ACT flywheel (slipping very bad)
Chipped P28 tune on chrome
Skunk 2 Front Camber Kit
Tokico ADJ shocks w/ Skunk 2 coilovers
Type R Front Lip

Stock Interior - 8 out of 10 - except for the carpet, some how car got flooded and carpet was soaked, nothing else got wet

More bad stuff: the tune on the car was terrible car wouldnt stay in vtec and cut out xtremely bad in high rpms, car is very cold natured and wont stay started until it warms up, think thats just the cams tho...

and the heater core needs replaced, no biggy just a pain in the ***

so i knew it need a new clutch right away and got the car home and up on the lift, the axle boots were off and grease was everywhere, so i decided to just rip the motor out of the car completely



so i had this laying around



LS Block - 81.5MM
LS Polished Balanced Crank
JE 12:1 Pistons w/ new rings
Eagle Rods w/ ARP Rod Bolts
Cometic Headgasket
Arp Rod Bolts
Golden Eagle LS/V Kit
BNIB GSR Oil and Water Pump

so since its my DD and have to use it to get back and forth to work and to get the motor in right away,



i decided to keep my power steering.

here are my near future plans

1. little bigger injectors
2. new header
3. get a wideband
4. get tuned

sometime this spring when it warms up here in Indy...

Wire Tuck & Shave
SS Brake Lines & Tuck
SS Fuel Lines
Finally get that ugly valve cover Powder Coated
get the engine scrubbed down and repainted

this is stuff i also want to get done in the mean while...

Rear Camber Kit
Rear LCA's
Rear Tie Bar
Direct Port No2 System

Get an OEM lip. Soon.

Before that, get your car tuned. 12:1C/R untuned is asking for trouble.

For a header, look into a Profab, VtecKiDD, or something of the like. They're decently priced.

What injectors did you get, 310cc's?
