95 Civic coupe B18C gsr build - plans for boost!
Hey Honda-Tech!
Fist I would like to say welcome to my first build thread. Your comments, opinions, thoughts, bumps, and advice are welcome!
Been a member on this board for a while, so I decided to start a build thread of my own
I currently drive a 95 EJ1 but my stock motor started ticking on me 2 months ago. My dad said we'll fix it but after 2 years and 2 Eg's it was finally time for a swap! Coming home from work I redlined first....and at around 5000rpm it just blew. Craked the block! NICE.
My plans....
I found a jdm B18C gsr motor w. tranny, p28 chipped ecu, shafts, dizzy for $1000
I'm keeping the internals stock and running boost to make 290HP.
Pics
My first car, 93 Lx. Got it when I was 16 as a gift from a family friend.
When I was done with it....
My Ej1 when I bought it in 2007.
Now...
When I blew the D16z6.

Update: October 18
Got some parts in yesterday
Does anyone have any experience with the Exedy clutches and how the Stage 2 will feel on the street? I didn't get a lightweight flywheel but I am machining it down to 12lbs.
I'm still waiting for the cam gears to come in and then it goes straight to the engine shop! Can't wait!

Yeah right rust free lol! When I got the car the quarters were crap so I just did a simple bondo job. After the winter the rust started coming into the trunk.
Rust is just stage one weight reduction =D

Dec 5
Ran into a little bit of problems the other day.
As my friends and I were towing my car to the shop, (we attached a rope to my tow hook and his Sprinter) a cop pulled us over with only 5 minutes left to go. He said this is illegal and we can't continue lol.
Here is the cop closing down the street so we can push the car into a nearby parking lot.
Waiting in the freezing rain for an hour, @ 1am, empty parking lot, a flat bed finally arrived!

Re: 95 Civic coupe B18C gsr build - plans for boost!
Had some time today so I took apart my old motor.
Cause of failure: oil starvation at the crank oil squirter on cylinder 1.
Hole in the oil pan from the crank!
