Default Back after a while, new engine build!

Well I haven't been on here more than a handful of times in a few years, but I'll give some pics and updates on my car.
Car:
1990 Honda CRX Si

Engine:
D16A6 block (the original block that came out of my car actually)
FJ Bottom End Kit with 76mm PG6's
ACL Race Bearing upgrade
ARP Head Studs and Rod Bolts
Cometic 76mm .030" head gasket
D16Z6 head w/ port work
Crower valvesprings and titanium retainers
Bisimoto Level 3 camshaft
RC Engineering 320cc Injectors
Edlebrock Performer X intake manifold
AEM CAI
Kamikaze header to 2.5" VRS piping kit with Magnaflow muffler

Drivetrain:
L3 ZC transmission with OEM LSD
4.25 Si FD and .771 Si 5th gear
Stage 4 Comp Clutch

Suspension:
Skunk2 sleeved coilovers, 8K front, 6K rear
KYB AGX adjustable struts
DC Sports Front strut tower brace
DA Integra front spindles with new pads, rotors and calipers for larger brakes

Other:
Innovative 95a mount kit
B&M Dual Bend shifter with ES bushings
ARP Extended studs
Innovate LC1 wideband
Neptune RTP/Demon Board in P72
ES Bushings all around

Exterior/Interior:
Corbeau Forza driver seat, mint red-stitch Si passenger seat
EG front lip (coming soon)
Old school Mugen rear spoiler (coming soon)
Rota Attack's in 15x6.5 +35 offset on 205/50 Falken RT-615
Integra Fat 5's for daily use on 205/50 Falken ZE-912
HX wheels for drag radials (DR's coming later)

The build should yield just over 12:1 CR. I'll also toss some drag radials on my HX's once I get the car done, and hopefully get a dyno tune probably via Alamo Motorsports if I'm not happy with my tune. I don't really have a power goal, just want to get it together and go from there. I'd like to get into the 13's pretty deep but if that doesn't happen, oh well.

I'll try to document everything I can with pics like I did before, i dunno about you guys but I always like to see pics of every step :D

Hey xotic, I talked to you about a pg6 with a6 block and z6 head on d-series before. Are you going to have any machine work done to your pistons to fit that level 3 cam in there? Most of the D guys are saying unmodded pg6s will not fit... I have left the head stock on my setup so far, but in the future I plan on building it up when I have more funds... Just depends on how much money comes in... Let me know what you are going to do with those pistons please...

Wow I haven't been on here in a while, lol, my phone won't pull up h-t, and i hardly ever get to a PC anymore. I probably will have to fly-cut the valves for the cam, but I won't know til I clay the motor.

Also the car will be taking a new direction, I'll probably be autox'ing it more so ES bushings are on the way, and probably an ST sway bar if the money's right in the offseason. So far on the build, the block's at the machine shop, trans is almost buttoned up and all i need is cam, clutch and oil pump.

Thanks guys, I'll try to keep updates frequent. The VC is kinda cool, like you said it's obviously fake and it was free for me :D but the letters are raised like a factory VC.
