This will be my first build thread.

I had a 1991 Civic with a b20vtec that I sold, and bought a 1989 Civic with an LS then boosted it. Shortly after boosting it I missed my NA setup, so I traded the 89 Civic for my current 1997 Civic that had an Lsvtec in it at the time.

I've been fixing minor issues ever since getting the Ek such as purchasing a set of Innovative billet mounts to replace the poop mounts that were in the car. I just had Derek from IMW do a leakdown test today and the results were, #1: 20%, #2: 15%, #3: 40%, and #4: 5%. So, now it's time for a rebuild.

The car did make a 14.1 @ 98mph pass at the track this being a pr3 piston, stock b16 head lsv with a junk ebay header untuned on a basemap with a slipping clutch.

I've decided to put a simple build together, and shoot for 12's.

I recently purchased a Competition Stage 5 clutch I got from a friend for a killer deal brand new. I then ordered a Competition Lightweight flywheel. I also have an oldschool skunk 2 intake manifold I picked up for $65.

Here's a rundown of the build. Most things are going to start being ordered very soon.

Few pics from the track.




Some new parts.

 

Looking good so far. In for updates

 

john tuned my em1! stand up guy! looks good so far!

 

why name this thread B20vEF9 if you dont have a ef anymore, why
not just make a ek with ls/vtec thread

 

Thanks guys.

Because, that's my username. I didn't know that was too hard for you to figure out.

Just ordered an Oem release and pilot bearing. Also ordered a Hondata Gasket.

 

Looks good dan!

 

this guy...

 

Thanks bro

LOL

 

um, thats his username... b20vef9's

 

nice man

 

LOL I'm glad others comprehend.

Thanks

 

can't wait to see what numbers you pull on the dyno. i might swap my ls-vtec for a b20 turbo. build looks like a good one, subscribed.

 

lol, i should make a thread. Gold DA9s indecisive build thread and post all my pics of my yellow bubble.

 

ps your ***** weak.

 

Why not just lsv turbo..? Thanks.

LOL indecisive is right. It's not all yellow anymore.

Keep that poopercharger on, and I'll show you my tail lights at the track this coming season. LOL

 

LOL, you got like a month maybe less till the track opens. Hopefully i have all the little problems fixed engine wise, body wise i stopped caring. Also got to get tuned on the corn fuel.

 

Beaver opens at the end of March when everyone is going I believe.

 

Needs cleaned up some, but you can't beat $65.

 

Still weak... LOL

 

We'll see

 

looks like a good build man. only thing i would change are the rods. if you're doing a over haul on the motor and getting rs machine pistons with arp hardware, mine as well spend money and get rods. it will break or throw a rod before the hardware fails...

 

I know the rods will be the weak point, but I don't plan on revving to 9400 Rpms lol

I was looking into BP I Beam Rods, but I've saw people have had issues with them. If I find a deal on something I'll probably jump on it.

 

nice..ive always wanted to build a clover green ex or w/e green it is..lol

 

Rod bolts were the first thing that failed on my friends ls turbo and my other buddy's ls/v.

before new rods, he could even just get oem shot peened rods with ACL Bearings, ARP bolts and be set.

 

Thanks.

Bill from IMW had a 85x89 stock sleeve, stock rod b20vtec build had stock rods with arp rod bolts. It was making 238whp, revving to 8800, and then 9200 rpms for over a year before they had a rod bolt failure.

If I use stock rods I don't plan on revving that high.
