looks good. one tip though. honda parts are very well machined. u need to take it easy on the orange silicon. it just takes a thin strip to seal everything up. u will have a bitch of a time gettin that oil pan off later. anything thats rubber i dont use any sealer on (oil pan, valve cover, cam seals)

Nice motor...Good luck

But one thing that I'm going to tell you is that the Itb's that you have is way to small and it's going to kill your top end... You need at list 48mm..


We try them...And 48mm works the best for the setup that you have...


But you have them so good luck

i see u got the same problem with the profab header as me it hugs the oil pan ur lucky u didnt have it put it on with the motor in the car it wasnt fun lol i had to kick mines in
also you will have to take one of the bottom tranny brace off next to the header and a bolt off the fly wheel shield. if you use the type r flywheel cover u will have to grind a **** load off to clear that header.

I dont whats up with that. Tim must be using a mockup with a b16 oilpan. I have an extra b16 pan laying around but I didnt want to take the LS pan off and scrape all that gasket maker off, so I just used a hammer.

Well, this is the first motor ive ever built so i went a little crazy with that stuff. Its kinda everywhere. I REALLY hope nothing leaks cause redoing that would suck, especially the front and the rear mains. Anyway, It should be in tomorow and ready to run, I bought some Lucas oil stabilizer and I was wondering if thats a good idea for a fresh motor? And could someone give me some tips for breaking it in? Ive never done that before. My first trip will have to be to the muffler shop to get an eshaust welded it, then its to a tuner to smooth out the air/fuel.

Looks good cant wait to hear how is runs. Im going to be building one this winter Dont use the stabilizer, just use regualar old dinosaur oil. Break it in for 500 miles before your final tune. Id change the oil as well @ 500, then dont use synthetic till after 3k

heres a tip that you should take very seriously. Dont start the engine until theres a wideband hooked up. id hate to see all that hard work down the tubes for nothing.

well, that would be tough. But I dont think shell be runing dangerously lean because A) Its a chipped ECU by Kenji B) Theres a 195 walbro fuel pump and C) ITB setups are notorious for runing rich prior to tuning I could also adjust the fuel pressure high until I get it on a wideband. Oh, and Im gonna dump some octane booster (alot of it) in there just to prevent detonation. Then once everythings tuned just 91 octane.

even without all those suggestions unless u have a crazy motor build (which u dont) u could run the motor on a stock ECU without issues at low RPM. normal operation and cruising is around 14.5-14.8:1 AF ratios.
