What I've done so far is pulled the motor out my Db2 and using that gsr tranny in my db1..and pulled my motor out my db1!! Took me almost 8 hours just to pull both motors out the car today! Since I already have the tranny out what kind of clutch kit you guys suggest for a DD/ street use? And should I paint my tranny silver or just degreased it n clean it up?

 

How we end the night!!

Family helping taking sh*t apart off the db2!



More to come! I'm goin to clean the engine bay up tomorrow after work n not going to drop the motor in yet untill I decide on which clutch I'm goin to get!!

Parts I got so far-
Skunk 2 pro series intake manifold-
Type r exhaust headers
Gs-r tranny
N the cheap eBay F1 racing clutch..idk if I trust it now since I've read alot of reviews on it...do you guys think the oem specs exedy clutch will do good? Or the act 4/6 puck?
And for the air intake how would a custom 3 inch mandrel bent sounds?
This is my first build so opinions and advise would be nice and I do planning on doing vtec after I do my suspension up first..

 

An OEM replacement Exedy is a great clutch. And you shouldn't worry about how an intake is going to sound, you should be worried about how it's going to perform.

 

i have a slightly used Exedy OE clutch if your interested, just pm me.

 

Yeah I'm not worried about the sound..just wanting to know about performance wise vs aftermarket ones...I can get my uncle to mandrel bend me one for a good price...basically I'm just payin for the pipes...

 

im in to see how this build goes. i love how your fam helps out. thats super dope.

 

An intake is an intake really, but I would make it the length of the stock intake. And maybe make a sheet metal box for the filter if you know what I am talking about?

 

Nice. In for more. I love seeing parts scattered everywhere and people getting down to business!

 

deff gonna watch this build just did the same to my da next is gonna be the z head on it. good luck with it

 

Hey guys I ran into one problem...and it's the pcv I have the canister on my old b18 block n it doesn't have a canister on my b20b block...do I need it? What should I do?
This is the b20b

On bottom is my old motor b18

 

Since it looks like it is not there from the factory I would say no.

 

I figured it out...the canister isn't on the block but it's on top of the valve cover!

 

Make sure you get all that old i/m gasket material off of the head, or you're going to have lots of nasty leaks. ask me how i know. lol Project looks like fun.

 

sure will!!!

 

would anyone happen to know what size hex key is that black area i marked?

 

14 mm

 

thanks!! gotta grab that tomorrow!!!
n the crank pulley is being ah b*tch my air compressor wouldn't even budge it!!
i guess i gotta go autozone n borrow the crank pulley tool from them!

 

I had the same problem with my crank pulley bolt. You can just have a friend step on the brakes with it in 5th gear to break it lose, luckily for me I have the crank pulley tool. You just need to borrow a good impact gun from someone. I have an old snap-on one and it wouldn't break it loose, I borrowed my buddies brand new ingersol rand and it broke loose instantly.

 

sounds good, i guess ill have to stop by autozone n borrow that crank pulley tool..and yeah the motor is out of the car so that's a no can do :/

 

one thing i forgot to mention while i took the swap out was the b*tch pin!!! i was clueless on how to remove it until i googled it!!! what i use was a long screw that barley fits the center of the pin kept bangin on that ***** for like 10 mins!!! my arms were sore as hell!!

 

I have a fully built b20z2 with p72 gsr head daily driver over 200 hp daily driver and stage 2 exedy clutch It's perfect for me

 

must be nice!! what car is it in? do you beat on it a lot? or just when u feel like it? for me right now since mine isn't built i think ill be good with the stage 1 or oem spec from exedy..

 

i miss having my b20 T-T i should have kept it and built it up. what head you got on there?

 

Just the stock head right now...I have a jdm b16 on the side...that I wanna build on the when I go b20v...thing is I don't really know how to take apart the head and re assemble it back so that's gonna cost me labor.

 

its all a learning experience. lol and i meant what head on the b20b. my b20 came with the p8r head. i dont really remember what the other head that came on b20bs was.
