Im looking for recommendations of a shop within a couple hours of new york city to do an engine swap into a 2000 civic hatch of a B18C. Im also interested in having the shell/frame of the car race prepped/restored akin to something like the work R motion does in Europe. R motion work pictured below on an EG



Point me in a good direction?

Is it safe to have the battery and fuel lines so close to each other in case of a bad crash? I don't see a fire suppression system.

 

battery in place that collects liquid and lines run in a way that is very easy to short with a metal pinch. spot on;

not concerned with exactly this build in any specific way, i was trying to give an idea of the level of attention to the frame, subframe, and core panels of the car that I'm interested in. Also just finding a shop with the interest to specialize in hondas at this level and hopefully does enough business that it's a decent turnaround time.
Not interested in this exact roll cage but at least A pillar, door and rear cross with seat belt points.
I could do it myself but it would take forever and I need to generate the money to pay for it. Also the type of people I am looking for would do it far better than me and in 1/4 of the time.

 

Dynamic performance in Somerville NJ is only 1 hour from the city.

They are stacking 8 second 1/4 mile time slips

That should be credibility enough

 

it takes more than drag times to sell me but I really appreciate the info. Ill hit them up.

 

NRG Tech in long island is a serious shop. They do excellent work

 

LM24 in Long Island does some sick work. Suppy(owner) has been around for a long time doing this stuff. He use to work with RPM and did a lot of work on the Bergenholtz race team. check out his website LM24.net

 

thanks a ton guys

 

From LM24 website:
//
All harnesses are thoroughly examined for voltage resistance and signal noise. We also environmentally seal and strain relief all terminations.
//

exactly the kind of attention to detail I am talking about peeking through in their wiring services section.
The piping fabrication is also some of the best I have seen. Planning a trip out to visit them.

Thanks again Badguy

 

This is our car.

Fuel lines - teflon lined and braided, 4L fire system, electronic battery cut off, solid race battery in ally cage so not an issue.
