If the Skunk2 manifold didn't flow evenly, it wouldn't cause a cylinder to run lean, if anything that cylinder would run rich... What ECU does he run? I know S300 has individual cylinder compensation, he can add fuel to whatever cylinder in leaning out... Does he have EGT on his manifold, how does he even know it's leaning out in a cylinder??? So many things could be the problem aside from the manifold, someone correct me if I'm wrong!

My previous hatch had a b16 with y1 tranny(welded diff) act 6 puck, and traction bars and it was ok. Wasn't really a lot of power in that thing though too. H22a has a lot of torque

crx 12.5:1 b20, cm 7.5 flywheel, 3 puck act disc, and stock pressure plate , s1 with a obx lsd. Held nitrous to 22x8 M&H's and drives fine on the street.

Sounds corretc to me! I didn't even give It that much thought!

On another note I can't get ahold of seth!!!!!!!! I'm pretty desperate

[thevtecnician]

Well I'm pissed at this point.

Long story short I still don't have an h2b kit!

I'm struggling to understand why I don't have a kit and have plenty of money? I wasted my entire day sitting by the phone waiting..... this project cannot go on without this kit.

[88ED8]

All I can say is just keep PMing/ E-mailing and calling him

I sure will

I am tempted to just send the money. But its stupid because

1. We live in the same city
2. He was supposed to give me a deal on it

But man I'm desperate. I found a guy selling a qsd kit but he wants to sell it with a longblock. I have no problem with having an extra H as a backup but I don't think its an ef kit. We'll see!

[Silvertc]

totally feel you on the getting it done before summer man, any chance you are going to Import Aliance in Nashville, TN?

[dispocrx]

start knockin on peeps doors man i cant wait to see this thing together!

[thevtecnician]

He was playin hard to get lol





Man he cut me a deal what a guy!

Slappin engine/tranny together now

[thevtecnician]

So the engine and transmission are together now. I'll get pics for you guys tomorow before I drop it in. Its really dark out here.

Also battle of the imports is coming up next month!

I just need to get my bay primed and painted before I drop the motor in and get it tuned and running 100% and get some rims and slicks. Bad thing is events like that are always on the weekend and I work weekends. I used all my sick days at work so I can't take any days off and I won't be out of work in time to enter my car. I'll still be able to make the event but I will have to leave my car at home! super wack

[88ED8]

So yo finally got a hold of Seth? What kind of deal did you get?

[thevtecnician]

Yep I got ahold of him!

Lets just say he gave It to me below retail because I'm local and a returning customer

[88ED8]

So what are you saying? pm me

[thevtecnician]

Ok so I ordered my hasport shift linkage, and I'm gonna try to order my seam sealer and paints here pretty soon too. As soon as I get home I'm gonna my motor in. I'm at work right now

[thevtecnician]

Ok well after putting the motor ina nd pulling it around 5 or 6 times, its finally in!



And here are some shots of my crank pulley clearance, how my header lines up with the cat, IAT sensor-to-MC clearance, brake line clearance, etc!













How she looks all snuggled in the bay!





Last but least, hood clearance! What you see may surprise you lol, I know it surprised me!











The balancer shaft pulley is hitting the rail just barely, but I'll hammer that out more when I pull the motor(which is soon) to finish the bay.

[88ED8]

So, I assume the header fit good

Take a side veiw pic so I can compare it to mine, can't belive that sir cleared the valve cover as good as it did...

Take a side veiw like this.

Yeah the header actually fit great! One gripe I have though is it hangs lower than the traction bars by a little bit. They don't really hug the pan they could. There's about an inch clearance between the header and oil pan!

I'll take those pics for you when I get home. I'm still gonna have to space the hood. I'm thinking an inch? We'll see! I'll do some more test fitting today

[dispocrx]

how is that primer comin along?

I haven't got it yet. I just wanted to figure out what I needed so ican sort out a budget. I might end up selling my seats in a trade plus cash which would free up some dough, other wise I have to wait to sell something or get paid cuz I'm broke!

I got my eye on the black/red stitching dc5r recaros. I really like the bride gais low max but those are waaaaaaaaay out of my budget. The idea is to have a reclining bucket, which sounds like a recaro to me!

Gonna pull the motor back out in a few days to get my bay done

[reynardmauricio]

this thing is gonna be a beast!

Thanks bro! Speaking of that I'm gonna try to get this thing fired up in the next few days

After seeing your build I almost didn't want to finish this one. Thanks for the support!
