Hello.
I have '99 JDM Integra DC1 with stock ZC SOHC engine, with mileage over 200 000 km
Engine is hungry for oil, so i need to rebuild it.
My plan is build turbo, about 200-220 bhp, my budget is $1000 - 1200
A question is what modlist is optimal for engine rebuild.
Pistons are stock, not forged.
Thank you, and sorry for my english.

 

ebay chinese parts, that is about it. Or luck out at a junkyard and find dsm injectors, a dsm turbo, bov, gank misc hoses and fittings, find a car with an intercooler, and just really generally try and piece something together. Even then it's a stretch for a turbo build at $1200 before even touching the engine.

 

Engine rebuild has own budget, so what can i do with engine to prepare it for turbo build ?

 

Hi folks, this is my first post. Does anyone know if the abs sensors are the same for the dc1 Honda integra and a dc2 Acura integra?

 

I think he means $1200 just for the engine rebuild.

Youll need to find some pretty cheap internals with that budget, by the time you pay for machining and assembly, bearings, etc.

But even stock internals will handle your power goals. Might still be easier to find a new engine in good shape instead of rebuilding though.

edit: 6 month old thread this is why I shouldn't drink and post.

 

For 200-220 crank hp or even 220whp (I think 225whp is about the safe limit for a stock d16 with a good tune), stock internals with a good tune will/should be perfectly safe.
So I would just try to do a factory rebuild (plus arp head studs and rod bolts) and call it a day. (maybe add shot pinning the stock rods if you are planning on around 225whp)

Pull the engine out and strip it out to bare block.
Have it mic'd and see if the cylinders are out of round or just need a hone and re-ring.
If the cylinders are still round, just have them honed and get the block/pistons/rods hot tanked/cleaned up, then order new piston rings. (I think Hastings, Nippon or oem is the way to go?)
If your cylinders are out of round, you can order new OEM or quality ebay pistons sized 75.25 or 75.50 (depending on what you machine shop advises) and have it bored over.
Have the cylinder head cleaned up and ensure that the block and head mating surfaces are straight and true. You might need new valve seals/guides and a valve job as well, but no need for fancy porting/polishing etc at this power level.

At you power level goal, there isn't much need for a forged or low compression aftermarket set up.
I would maybe consider having the rods shot pinned if you have some money left in the budget.
Mic all your clearances and then order the appropriate sized OEM main and rod bearings.
Order a new OEM timing belt, oil pump and water pump.
Order a new OEM head gasket and all the miscellaneous gaskets.
I am not sure if this engine has a d16y8 intake manifold or not,it might be worth looking into that...

After all this, I would put money towards quality, new injectors of the appropriate size. A walbro 255 fuel pump. A Hondata s300 ecu (or what ever your tuner advises).
You would probably want a nice quality clutch, maybe an exedy stage one or two, nothing too extreme and maybe some Hasport 62U motor mounts and fill torque mounts.
Find a competent machine shop/builder and find a competent tuner, as those are the two most important things...
