^^^Ditto can always count on most of us to give you a hand

Glad our work has inspired you to make an awesome build looking forward to see the parts

 

Ill helpo too!!!! But make sure I'm under strict supervision.

 

^^Yea someone needs to bring one of those kid leashes for you. I'm deffinately gonna do a swap meet hopefully sooner rather then later. Just need to source a few more parts. And hopefully some nice weather.

 

Lol, yup, don't let Marlo tighten or loosen any bolt or nut! Unless its my "nutz" hahahahahaha

 

to bad your nuts are already to far up pauls *** ahahahahaha

 

How did I get mixed up in this one:s lmao. No but marlo don't touch just look and hand tools...and make it the right ones hahaha

 

No I dont think I want to see mario using his hands to play with any tool.
number one, he has a girlfriend to do that. number two, I don't want anyone having to make any unnessary trips to the ER.

 

Dude its marlo!! MARLLLO
No one would end up going to the er but you'd have to buy some replacement parts

 

LOL! i asked you twice now... who the hell is MARIO?!?!?!?!

 

Sorry man, I was just messing with you, I know your name is NOT marlllo, lol

 

I have been out all day, but I have something to show you guys.......

 

Then show it lol.

 

yea show it!!!

 

Didn't get my block yet... but soon!

 

^^^ nice stuff man.

 

yea but swapping those seats into my teg is going to be a bitch..... oh yea and picked up some ARP head studs...

 

Ya it's gonna be a bit of a pain to do.

 

Sweet, I'm trying to figure out what the second pic is lol?

 

GSR oil pump

 

Ah sweet, So your keeping your bottom end I guess? Do you have the ecu yet?

 

Nice pickup man!!

PLEASE for the love of GOD, install those seats correctly!!! Make sure ALL 4 holes line up! Dont half-*** it like most of the idiots do.

Do it proper and you will be loving them more and more.

 

Bottom end is a secret untill I have it in my hand, which I should have this weekend or next. I have a GSR ecu & complete wiring harness thanks to Jeff.

Clutch & Pressure Plate
Flywheel(lightened if possible, if not will get my stock one machined)
ARP Rod bolts
Exhaust Manifold Gasket (probably order from honda)
Oil pan & valve cover gasket
Someone to tune my setup
Exhaust setup

This list looks very long & expensive... But I'm only over my buget by about 800, when I add tuning & a new exaust setup, so I'm still pretty happy about this build so far.

 

I know I spent close to 4hrs going over every way I could find online about how people have installed these seats.

I'm thinking about cutting the stock rsx rails with a dremel, and swapping in a set of teg rails welded on of course. Or getting some brackets bent to fit the teg mounting points, and then screwing them into the rsx brackets (don't really like this idea as its going to increase the height of the seats)

But on that note.......
Anyone up for a seat swap meet next sat, at my place(bathurst & lakeshore)??????
It would be in a heated underground garage, pizza & beer, Milk or juice for the underage/non-alcoholics.
Pm me for my address/contact info.

 

I'm soooo there man! I end work at 2pm, count me in. Sounds like fun!

 

I end work at 4 so I may come through!!
If you don't mind me asking what is the cap on your budget??

 

I may be down for some chilling. Depends what time i go get an O2 sensor done.

Parts list looks nice. Good job on saying "I want to build something " and then you actually go through with it.

Keep up the good work. MOAR UPDATES AS THEY COME

 

i think i saw you on eglington just west of pharmacy parked in a parking lot across from a pet smart store. you have you sidemoulding off on your rear left side right?

 

lol nope not me, I don't go out to scarbourgh much anymore unless its to drop my girl off or pick her up from her parents house. And I'm not missing any sidemolding yet

 

Why not just pick up the O2 sensor, and do it over by me?
And Thanks, its seems like my winter beater turned into a project car overnight.

I promise lots more updates in the upcoming weeks. These hondas are much easier to work with, lots of parts are interchangeable without much custom work(except for my seats, lol).

I'm gonna try and do this build in 2 stages. Initially I'm looking for 175whp to 190whp with a good tune. But I would like to reliably see 285whp when I'm completely finished building this car. But the 2nd stage won't happen until maybe next january. If I do too much at once the gf will kill me.

My budget on the first part of my motor build is 3grand, but I think I am going to be over my budget when I need to get it tuned. And a few other skunk internals that have caught my eye.

 

sweeeeet, just found out that im not working saturday! woooot!!!! off all day!

 

285 WHP I hope it's with boost cuz that is a big number to achieve na lol.

 

dude i talk with gord about block guards a little while ago and he highly suggest going with a eagle block guard over the blox ones.

obviously hes gonna have boos!!!!

 

DO NOT buy the block guard!!! For your power goals they are not necessary at all. They restrict coolant flow where you need it most and hold heat where you need it least, which is where the head contacts the block. They are only really necessary for dyno queen/drag motors making 400hp+.

Other than that, project looks like it's coming along nice! Keep us updated.

 

how many kms on your current motor now? and think you said it somewhere but i forgot what it is. and whats the bottom end gonna be? huh john?

 

Thats great, does that mean your coming to help??

yes paul 285whp is going to be on boost

um... Yea I don't think I'm taking my motor to him.

Thats very interesting you say that. I noticed a lot of guys running +14lbs of boost running these, I'm just wanted to put what I can into it now before I get to a point of where i'd like to add boost then have to go back and add one. But on a side note I also see a lot of people on stock blocks too so maybe I'll pass on this part.

lol I have 225k on the motor....Bottom end is a surprise till I have it in my storage on an engine stand.

 

Lol a surprise. There aren't that many options but ill wait.
Can't wait to find out jerome!

 

You can install one if you want, but from the research I've done and heard from several well-known honda builders/tuners, it's not really necessary for these b-series engines (except maybe b20) unless you're planning on 350-400hp+. 300hp should be just fine without it.

 

RSX leather installed, but before having the leather treated......


RSX leather installed after being treated....

Sorry about the crappy cell phone pics, will post better ones later.

 

Looks great man...how did putting the seats go? much trouble or fairly easy?

 

A little trouble but not life ending. They went in much better with a few sets of hands
Initial view, these seats position you about half an inch higher in the car. less leg room in the back for passengers...But....
They are sooo very comfortable and inviting. Once heating is wired to the seats they will be great for any type of trip..
