Default 1991 2nd Owner Hatch:)

So I have had this car for a while. I rarely get on here an actually post, main reason being that I forgot which email address I had registered with and could not get the password reset so I just lurked lol.

Was very lucky to find this car do to a buddy (shenrie) finding it for me and calling as soon as he found out it was for sale. On to the info

1991 Black Si Hatch, gentleman that I bought it from purchased it brand new off the lot here in Idaho. He had some work done on it here by the Idaho SpeedCenter while they were open which consists of:
b16a swap,ys1 cable tranny, intake,header, 2.5" exhaust, tokico illumina struts on progress springs, full ES bushing kit, goodridge brake lines, adjustable upper control arms, progress front and rear sway bars, full integra brakes...and I believe thats it.

It had a customer built induction box attached to the hood at one point, thus the scoop. On to the pics

What it looked like when I first got it, wheels were very discolored/faded and so was paint





Pics of it after three coats of wax, the wheels fully restored with the help of a few buddy's and the vc painted.






A little drive






Got bored a few days after and decided to clean up the bay some more and paint the wheels.





Amber corners/blinkers and a fresh wax





New wheels, just wasn't feeling the white or the style of the Konig's. Also added dropzone slip on coils 450/350 and went lower. And rear wiper delete, OEM sunroof visor, antenna delete and OEM door stickers.






New hood. USDM fit SIR style VIS carbon fiber







And a little power adder



NRG hub, quick release and wheel. Also added drilled/slotted rotors and Blox rear LCAs




And where it is currently at as of now until tear down for the turbo build..

urbo kit and parts consist of.
Ebay Cast mani-FMIC-Piping
DNA Motoring 50trim turbo
DSM 450cc blue top injectors
p28 ecu
ARP headstuds
Hondata intake manifold gasket
obd1 conversion harness/dizzy ect
Gates racing timing belt
OEM waterpump
Walbro 255 fuel pump w/ rewire kit
Aluminum dual core half radiator
blox block oil filter adapter
Glowshift boost/oil pressure gauges
Glowshift dash mount pods

Still waiting on the conversion harness, oil filter adapter, gauges and radiator...then I will start to tear it apart.

I also decided to paint the valve cover....turned out alright. Used crinkle paint and red over it. Still kind of unsatisfied, will probably sand down all the letters or something.

Painted the door moldings, fixed the bumper, polished and waxed..Took for EVER lol.









And picked up a set of the OEM rear speaker pods this week. Kind of a long post....but thanks for lookin guys.

Thank you sir! White wheels would look great on a teal hatch, they are a pain to keep clean though. The center light has a big HONDA decal on it, I sanded it down some and painted over it for now, I am in the market for a new center garnish preferably a jdm vtec or special edition one. Dyno numbers probably will not be off the charts, only shooting for around 250whp as I autox the car.

That Gif made me lol.

Thanks man, steering wheel came with the hub and quick release and is 1000x better than the old school flat bottom knock off that was on there. It is more function over form.

Appreciate it! A nicer wheel may be in the future, but for now my funds and work are focused on getting the turbo kit on and done as well as a wider wheel/better tire combo

Haha well stupid is as stupid does. I am happy that it is finally being used also, the car is a lot of fun and will be more when all is said and done. And thank you sir! Always good to get compliments, maybe if I actually keep this long enough it will live up to what the white hatch is

As of right now, I am up in the air about what clutch I would like to run or if I want to try to squeeze every piece of life that I can out of the current clutch. I have been looking at sprung 6 pucks with 9lbs flywheels....some insight would be nice as this will be my first boosted b series.

ive used the act hdss setup in all my autox cars and has worked flawless (turbo and NA). isnt so sprung that it sucks to dd, but is strong enough to thrash on without slipping (you know how I treat my cars and for how long Ive been treating them that way). its good for 245 ft/lbs of torque. I dunno what your FI setup will yeild you, but they have others that are good for up too 320 ft/lbs for a bit mo money.

http://www2.advancedclutch.com/13985...I_(B17A1).html

And use the Fidanza flywheel. nice and light (7-8 lbs) and has a repalceable contact surface thats cheaper (40-50 bucks) to replace if you ever burn up a clutch or have some kind of unforseen failure. pn is: 228751. Looks like the offer a package deal for clutch/flywheel as well with the higher end version clutch being good for 260ft/lbs of torque, but Ive never heard of anyone using thier clutches :dunno:

your gonna have to keep that car a long time to get it to the point of whitey my friend. way too many good deals were stumbled on with that car to get it where its at, lol.

Been quite some time since I logged onto HT and actually posted, so here's the progress from that last post until now
Didn't put the wheels on right away as it was winter, so they just sat and the tear down on the car started.





Didn't get to terribly far as we bought a new house and moving commenced, which is a complete PITA btw. SO slapped the wheels on and set it down while we were packing/moving.




New center tail light garnish


In its new home, finally have a shop to work in.



Was having clearance issues with the half radiator, downpipe and etc. So got the aftermarker traction bar installed. And also finally got the crank pulley off, and ordered an ITR pulley instead of the retarded UR racing underdrive pulley. Also got a moroso oil pan, and a couple other small bits and piecs.





And a few pics from autox before the car wen under the knife











Heres a pic of how im thinking the gauges will be set..



The Ecu wiring was a freaking disaster, going to be fun figuring out wtf is going on here

[hr]

got rid of the rpf1s and temporarily the car was on +38 b bombs


Oil pressure and boost gauges hooked up and mounted






picked up a lower center console


Moved the battery down to make some room, its a braille 8lb battery


In the meantime my truck was killing my wallet in gas everyday so bought a 90 lx sedan to dd




Pic of how the bay looks currently


obviously nothing can remain stock so the sedan got a lip, slammed, a deck spoiler, window visors the b bombs and wagon sideskirts





spc rear camber arms and em usa ucas

[hr]
Ucas installed


Also bought a crx to part out for cheap and found this on it, was pretty stocked




Sedan got a prelude si steering wheel along with seats(yes all the buttons work)



Converted sedan to mpfi and hatch got some new shows (16x7 REAL buddy clubs wrapped in neo gens)








Last but not least, cleaned up the sedans bay and had the valve cover pc'd


As it sits right now the mods are-
b16a-with gsr cams
ARP head studs
ebay 50trim turbo
cast manifold
dsm 450 injectors
custom 2.5" dp carbon heat wrapped with o2 bung

2.5"turbo back exhaust
Unorthodox racing cam gears
moroso oil pan
p28 obd1 ecu-rywire harness
az racing traction bar
aem uego wideband
nrg quick release and steering wheel
integra front/rear discs with slott/drilled rotors
tokico illumina adj struts/drop zone slip ons
steel braided brake lines
Full Poly bushings
Blackworks v2 LCA
SPC rear camber arms
EM USA adj tubular UCAs
Progress front and rear sways

Jdm front may be in the future, but I kind of like the usdm front with the sir style vis hood.

The prelude wheel was from a 91 si I believe.

Tucked the bay, added a bwr intake manifold, omni power 70mm tb, 3" sri with blox filter/velocity stack, plm tri y header, innovative front crossmember, Mugen rep hatch spoiler, real CF midwing, changed to clear corners and bumper lights, chargespeed rep usdm fit lip...among other small things here and there.

Big wing is big, pics before wing was color matched



Also installed an oem deck


Wing was color matched,installed the hood pins.
