I was smoking alot latley so i did a leakdown and decided my rings were prolly bad.... i pulled it apart to find this.....





sorry my camera sucks, but i don't really give a **** anymore......

there will be a pretty nice for sale thread coming up.........

 

Man, don't say that. You have gone too far and learned too much to throw in the towel. Take a break, but don't stop tuning. Keep your head up, man.

 

Yikes, and the lands gave way on FORGED pistons!!!!

Looks like tuning to me; don't turn away b/c of something going wrong!

Besides, I still see some meat on those cylinder walls; it's not over yet!!!

 

oh they can be bored, and they will be......... yes tuning was the issue...... i rode around for too long with a shitty tuneup (afc hack/440's) and detontated way too much, prolly hurt it then......... then when i put the AEM in/ 880's and 1bar it was just too far gone already, had a great tuneup, just the damage was already done....... it'll be back together one day.... but a lot of things are going to be changed......... my entire revhard kit is for sale..... i kept all the pieces and now i don't need any of them since i will be replacing all of it. My C/R rad is also for sale, as is my thermal r/d exhaust.....

 

Yah man, just take a little time off. Things like that are definitely frustrating as hell, but u can't give up. Besides, if there weren't people like you, there'd be noone to put idiots like me in my place

 

Sorry to see that happened. Power is never easy to achieve.

I'll buy your 22" spinnas if you give me a good deal on them. I might be parting out my prelude as well in the near future.... but nothing from the engine

ya dude we have enough civics in this world lol

 

I know. But not enough 10 second civics with h23's. Depending on how serious I decide to get at dragging, I might even turn it into a race only car. Hello 9's. So add another one to the list.

Sorry to ***** out the thread. Get back on topics *******.

 

Ouch. Yeah man, don't quit, just cool off for a while.

 

Yikes....don't give up on the H23 just yet I'll bet if you do it all again, it will be 5 times easier than the first time.

How much do you want for the C/R rad?

 

300 for the rad.... pics are in the link on my sig

Yeah, it'll get rebuilt soon, but not running/back in the car for a while

 

dude... i know what you are going through... not sure if you read my post https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=931446 but i feel the same way.... all this money and it still doesn't run right... my brake system.... a/c ... and heater controls also all failed today... i was ready to do a one day listing on ebay with no reserve........

 

turbo here i come

 

did u buy my kit? anthony just told me he sold it.... didnt say who....... but thanks!

 

yea that was me, thanks for the deal

 

you all suck!!!

its cool, i sold mine almost a year ago now, ive got another plan, i WANT it to involve another H22, but i dunno yet

 

Well the turbo game ain't over just yet my hill billy friend, i still got a few tricks up my sleeve for the ole H-series........

I'm not called Turbo Sam for nothing...... us "old timers" will all show back up with time...... FASTER

 

man that sucks , im sorry about all the problems, just keep your head up and stay in the game, .. if you have to sell some stuff of that cool, but there are just too few people like you that have had the knowledge experiences from the good and bad of building a prelude. good luck

 

Great i'm being called an ole' timer and i don't turn 21 for another 11 days........ i'll still be around while i'm rebuilding... and it'll be back someday...... the shitty thing about getting older is the more **** u gotta pay for... luckily the bitch left me a few months ago, but i still have car insurance (330 a month total 2 cars), truck payment (320 a month) and rent.... about 340 a month...... considering i make like 8 bucks a month, i need to calm down my car spending...... but selling turbo stuff off just goes right back into the car.... so i might be back a little sooner than expected, but this all depending on how much i pay for certain parts

 

Man only $340 a month in rent... I wish I could see those days.

 

thats split 4 ways........ 1300 a month give r take
