I really haven't had much time to mess with this thing, as I have been working hard to finish school. I graduate in May, and my poor rex is about to be streetworthy again. I think it will get a little better mileage than my Titan gets right now.

I decided to take everything out of the engine bay, then start from "scratch" so I could clean up wiring and crap like that. So first thing I did was put the engine in.






A few months later, I put my cylinder head and intake manifold on. I noticed that someone decided to add to writing on my transmission.






got a fresh set of axles in this thing


So far I have most of the time-consuming things done such as assembling the block, getting the head ported and assembled, putting the engine in, getting integra hub assemblies in and putting the axles in.

Now I need to touch up the spot in the engine bay where the battery must have leaked in the past, get the wiring cleaned up, build a front crossmember and header, put some decent suspension on it and also reinstall the headlights, bumper, etc...

 

gonna bring her to life tomorrow!

 

woohooo!!!!!! looks badass mike,cant wait to see vids tomorrow. good luck bro!!!!

BMF

 

woooooaaa....looks craz...more pics

 

look good

 

As soon as I get her running I'll be sure to get some more. Right now I need to track down a good distributor then get her on the dyno.

cranking it up to check the engine harness before I loom it up and finish up the engine bay. I still need to get one of those small batteries for it, make a battery tray, finish looming the engine harness and do a general clean-up on the engine bay. Also need to fix the fuel rail where it can bolt onto the ITB's lol. My friend who gave me the ITB's didn't have the fuel rail handy that went with them.

 

NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

After your done get it tuned.

Trust me it is worth it.

 

yeah it will be tuned on the dyno for sure. I still need to finish the front crossmember, cut down my shift linkage and make a header along with some other misc stuff. I'll post what kind of numbers the setup makes. We have an above-ground dynojet at the shop to tune the rex on.

 

looking real good mike, im excited to see it running.

-corey

 

dam mikey ur on here too??

 

DAM! that motor looks clean

props!

 

yeah been on here for a while, ever since the honda hybrid forum changed (don't think it even exists now)

 

Nice looking setup, can't wait to see what it does tuned!

 

ITB's are awsome i like that set up you have there keep it up.

 

Now I'm in the middle of finishing my engine harness on the rex. The engine harness is complete except for the wire loom and now all I need to do is mount my fusebox and get a battery box for inside to complete the wiring. Then it's on to the front crossmember, a header and tuning. I also still need to get a new o-ring for that pesky #2 injector.



I'm working at the university and doing research towards a PhD in Chemical Engineering, and I also rented out some shop space to be able to have room for my hobby (and also make a little spending money). Haven't really had as much time as I would like to mess with the rex.

 

nice i love crx builds

 

Now I need to get the front crossmember and header done so I can tune the poor thing.

sounds smoother in the 8-29 video post

 

it's idling at a lower RPM now and also sounds different in that part of my shop next to the wall.

 

how low was it? mine used to idle 800-1000 but when it got cold here would idle at 2000. after it got warm it stayed idling at 2000, though..

 

Wow looks good

 

before it was around 800-1000, now I think it is idling around 600ish.

 

those are carbed or fuel injected? thought i read something about them being fuel injected

wait nvm i saw the fuel rail lol
