Well I have everything to put it together finally. It has been a long wait. I thought would just show some pics of my progress. Its a B18A with a B16A head etc.....










Thanks for the bandwidth and viewing
Also want to thank everybody that has ever help me get this together...Theres too many to list but you know who you are

 

looking good. what CR are you planning on running?

 

Thru c-speed its about 10.8/1. There P73 AO USDM ITR pistons.

 

did you have that piston and rod sitting on your mom couch?

 

Nope Anyways its a junk couch in my basment....If it was my moms she'd probablly beat my a$$....heres todays work.

 

looking nice. i was thinking of doing an ls/vtec buildup too. already have a b16 in my ef but looking for something with a bit more power/displacement. want to do the buildup myself with new pistons and everything. maybe oneday i'll have the nerve to do it, and the space.

 

i hope thats assembly lube onthe side of the block and not someones blood

 

at least you have a girdle...i would have put in better rods as well though...

looks good none-the-less...

 

Yeah its assembly lube....great for playing tricks on the wife while working on it tough....(Am I suspose to bleed this much from a cut??) . Its all motor so I think the LS rods will be fine. There good up to 225hp or something like that and I've never seen a ls-vtec n/a break that yet.

 

Nice set-up, good luck getting it done

 

If everything works right should have it finshed tomorrow or tuesday...Depends on how I feel after work. Then if it ever quits raining for a few hours will have it in this week. Its rained here in NE TN for about 40days and nights I think

 

Looks good, looks really good - I'm jealous

Who worked on that head...I noticed the dimples in the intake ports.

 

Is that blood? lol

 

which girdle you running?

 

on the 3rd pic down, what block is that ? cause my ls block doesnt have that little plate sitting in the middle on the bottom end

 

a Friend Jared worked on the head. He did a verry good job with everything and I'm really impressed with it. 3 angle valves and p-p. He hooked me up. Its a ls block and its a GS-R or ITR crank girdle. Both use the same parts so either way. Had to the main caps machined to accept the girdle and get GS-R/ITR main bolts. It also has the GS-R/ITR oil pan and pick up, both are required for any crank girdle. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=263598&page=1. Thats also a JDM B16 oil cooler which GS-R and some ITR's have those factory another machined item. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=220589 . I got a few good ideas and tips from the archived items

 

Building engine in basement....*flashbacks* Hope you have an exit plan

Lookin good so far...keep us posted!

-Jake

 

yeah have the exit plan roll it on the motor stand uphill to my neighbors house to drop it in opps bring it up

stock ls rods are PLENTY strong for na applications.

 

Looking good I am still debating whether to build a similar setup using the head etc from my spare B16A for another project car.

very very nice.....just rode in a lsvtec hatch.....you will not be disappointed

 

nice setup...but are you using a used water pump on your block? i couldn't be sure but that's what it looks like...

 

goog going bro.. but come on.. you gotta start hangin out in the garage, not the living room.. lol

 

before I send you the chip I've owed you for oh months (sorry), lemme know what cams you're going to be running. it would help a lot.
