So the day finally came, the motor is in and running. There's still some bugs to be fixed. The idle air control needs to be fixed, it's not idling perfectly. Other than that it's fine. I'm still getting use to the driving. It's a big difference from a stock 1.6L to a modified 2.0. Don't laugh, but I'm trying not to stall on first gear. I'm still trying to get use to the new clutch, flywheel, and everything all together at once.

I still retained my a/c and amazing I don't feel much of loss in torqe when it's on full blast. The ES mount inserts isn't causing that much vibration as I thought it would, maybe it's b/c I drilled holes into them to reduce the vibration. Well everything's together and I'm just waiting for bolt ons. Here's a sneak peek.

No block girdle? What do you plan to rev it to? 8k?

 

ya i was suprised not to see a girdle and an aftermarket oil pump

 

I'm only planning to rev to 8,400 (stock CTR redline). I knew the B20 isn't good for high reving that's why I chose CTR cams. The oil pump is the same as the Type R so I kept it as that.

 

looking good have fun

 

have fun with your new setup
keep an eye on your driver's side mount
they are prone to breaking
I broke mine in less then 2 months after the swap

 

Isn't the CTR redline 8900 rpm? I may be wrong though.

EDIT: oh yeah. Nice motor! Must be quite the difference between that and the stock 1.6.

 

sweet stuff gapxguy!! from what i remember your car looks really nice also.

What motor did you take out of your car?

Get some dyno tuning, it does wonders

 

sweet install..
any pics of the swap while you were doing it?
