Greeting form SA

Finally got my hands on an ek I have always loved the 2G ludes
In SA they sold the 1.5, 1.6 and 1.6 vtec dohc(basically a vti edm spec)
This is the only vtec model that was available which had a B16a6 with a gearbox similar to the us spec si but with a final drive of 2.266.

Pics from when I got it

 

Been busy with this build for some time so here is what has been done

eBay tail light upgrade


Innovative steel mounts




Pedal Install


Steering wheel install



Gearknob install

 

Door card refurb




OEM Tinted spoiler





ASR Brace

 

Silicone hose and Alum radiator upgrade

Before


After


CRX Door sticker

 

some of your mods aren't my cup of tea...
but just the fact that it's from another country makes it interesting

 

Looks like you cleaned out the ebay stock rooms for all that it's worth

 

Curious, is that a typo? Or is that correct that it has 2.266 final drive set factory?

 

nice find those B16's are super rare in the states

also i like the DOHC door sticker

 

Here in SA all final drives for b series were 2.266
These vtec civics came with 1 type of gearbox which was the S4c which was similar to the usdm si gearbox but with the above final drive and none came with LSD
Our sedan versions which used a b18b came with s80 and s4c but these ratios were similar to the LS gearbox they also had the above final drive

We have to be careful when buying local gearboxes as the s4c is used for both but have different internals and there are no additional markings on the casing

My buddy from Canada is organizing me a 4.4 final drive and I am going to do the LS Eco 5th gear mod

Haha cool thanks bud need to upload the latest pics

 

Nice to see another South African on the forum! Nice Civic! was going to buy one and ended up going for a 4th Gen H22a Lude. Not disappointed at all... besides the 15 liters per 100km lol.

Do you know of any places to get Honda parts? and tuning shops ?

You planning on future mods ? Turbo route maybe?

 

Thanks buddy, yeah I was look into also getting a lude but this came my way and I couldnt resist

A H22 4th Gen is quite rare in SA is it an import or engine swapped ?

Had some bad luck recently


Patch job while waiting for insurance to let me know if they will be repairing my car


here is the current swap I am doing

Sorry about the accident, just hope whoever does the repairs matches the red properly. Its a tricky colour to match.

Yeah its been swapped in with a manual box. Was running a H23 with an auto box. Im still running the P12 ecu from the h23 ( 15l/100 km and no VTec :'(.... ), so going to be going with a stand alone soon.

Nice write up on the h2b build, will be sure to follow it. H22's civics FLY!
