First this is only the daily driver. Im not looking to have the fastest car in the world. Honestly I deliver pizza with this thing 5 days a week. So Ive had to find the median between fast/comfortable/reliable. The race car will come soon.

My new setup for my new 90 crx SI


My goals:
To stay as "sleeper" as possible.
Fast, but still a nice car, after so many Honda's im sick of driving a gutted car.
Keep A/C, I'd love to loose the weight and gain the room, but damn its hot here, just not worth it.
Not half *** anything anymore, its bit me in the *** too many times!

Setup:
B20z block
B16 pr3 head, stock cams, type-r valvetrain
AEBS Headstuds
JG adjustable cam gears
Skunk2 Intake manifold
Nayhow MFG. Intake manifold gasket (same material as hondata, but only $35)
UR underdrive pully - looking for proof of them "ruining engines"
Clutch Specialties 6 puck clutch kit
b16 tranny
cams/exhaust undecided
converted to OBD-1 using uberdata on a p28
retaining A/C with the hasport a/c bracket
new axles

Things im waiting to recieve:
2" aluminum half radiator
Dual 10" slim fans
Tokiko Illuminas
Neuspeed Springs
J's Intake

Not ordered yet:
Header
Cams

*Update*
After ~1200 daily driven miles I've had absolutely no problems at all. It runs perfect like a new car. Only issue is traction, which I have none of. So far I havent really had many races, just random cars. This all with stock cams/beat down b16 header, un-tuned.

new is300 - smoked
00+? camaro SS, 50mph+ roll on, slowly pulled away from me.
couple civics, no idea what done - destroyed
rx8 - beat pretty bad
mercedes clk320? - beat bad

B20z Block when pulled apart (6k kms original miles aka ~2,500 miles)


Motor assembled with pretty JG cam gears


Skunk2 manifold and Nayhow gasket Manifold awaiting port matching then paint - gasket is basically a hondata gasket for $35


Motor and tranny getting "Universal Grey" high temp paint.
Im really sick of Red engines and valve covers, I thought I would go to the opposite extreme and make it bland as can be. Im trying not to make it an eye catcher. DOHC V-TEC and Honda emblem are all removed from the valvecover.


Painting finished


Finally installed with the horrible valve cover (has cam gear area cut out for my tuning) soon to be replaced.



Then to the 2.5" exhaust I decided to make. It has a 22" resonator and a Summit "turbo muffler". The car sounds completely stock other than it has a deeper sound, all you hear is the motor, VERY sleeper just like I want.


NX wet kit install. I will be putting in the A/C this week and I figure with keeping my car full boddied I would like to have an extra boost on hand to make it less of a problem.


Air Conditioning Installed - By far my favorite thing, I hate the weight and power loss but its 90+ almost every day. If you dont have a/c you hate driving your car. The pump is really dirty from the old motor in this pic.


B&M Fuel Pressure Regulator Install - Nice gauge, very easy to adjust fuel pressure.


99-00 Civic SI "Ram Air" Intake installed - Very ugly but my stock D16a6 Intake arm was not even the size of my throttle body, I had to cut it to fit, so I figured the motor could breathe a bit better if it had a pipe the same size as the TB.


Also In the same pic's you can see I had to re-locate the battery to the rear to make room for the intake. All done with 4awg welders wire and some new terminals from Kragen. My old battery wires/grounds were in nasty shape, it was taking much longer for the motor to fire, my guess was the starter was grounding so much power the spark was not good enough. This was solved with the new wires/terminals.


I remade the Motor grounds, just like every EF the stock ones have been through 15+ years of crap and are looking horrible. Just used a bit of amp wire I've had laying around.


Tokiko Illumina 5-way adjustable shocks installed


Finally came across a stock SI lip, once its on you know it should be there, It makes the car look much better. I didnt want to have to get a JDM Carbon fiber space lip.

SleePy timE!

Looks good. Plus with the LS tranny you won't be in the high rpms on the highway. Nice use of OEM parts on your build. How much did everything set you back so far?

I think I will love the tranny, I do use the highway and this is by no means my race car. I have actually been keeping a "reccord" of my costs on the car to the dollar.....I have spent 2,772 including everything on this page (yes the crx also which runs/drives perfect) Its got a PERFECT set of del seats

Infinite Auto

any ideas on some good cams to run with the 10.1 c/r???? I was thinking ctr's to match the valvetrain and keep it oem

is that due to the color scheme or just that its painted? im not too big into painting but i thought i would make it look nice while it was out, and do what i can to not have the same look as everyone else (not that it is possible with a honda)

SkRiBLaH

oh my god


you are the hugest moron for painting over EVEYRTHING!

i dont like the color, and i dont like how you painted everything. very bad idea.

Infinite Auto

wow i didnt think people would have that bad of a response, what is so bad about paint on everything??? just that you didnt do it or is there some actual reason not to?

SkRiBLaH

jees you freekin half-assed painted it.

you painted over the reverse sensor WIRE
you painted over the rubber cap,
the TIMING BELT, the motor mount post, the FPR hose,
and ALL OVER THE EXHAUST PORTS!!!!!!


its just a totally shitty job of painting, and now if somthing breaks or you need to change it out, its going to look like **** or your going to have a HELL of a time removing all the paint.

not to mention that the heat might discolor it.

just totally bad idea.

doublethink

god damn who cares if he painted it, its not your enigne its his.

setup looks good. im seriously thinking of doing the same thing with my current b16a. cept with this tranny.

to be honest, i hate this tranny for highway driving. i can understand why youd use the ls.

did you get it running yet? any dyno, track etc?

please post it up.

ya i think it looks clean, i really spent quite a bit of time on it and many of the "pointed out" bad looking things arent even painted.....but things have changed and im now using a b16 tranny, it should go in next weekend.....im also not using the ITR manifold, im using a Skunk2

LSVTEC 91 Civic

Setup

Did you enlarge the valve relief on the pistons? I could'nt tell. If not you will
might have some problems, valve to piston contact.

GSR cams might be the safest way to go...

i dont know about the paint. wont it crack when it gets hot or if you try to hit it with degreaser. should of had it powder coated and taken off the clips and sensors. but if you like it then go ahead.

Infinite Auto

not sure, the head is only temporary, im getting another reworked for the motor......if it ends up lookin like *** then ill know not to do it again.....but either way it should be a fun daily driver i would think

RCautoworks

Sorry if I missed it, but what pistons and rods are you using ?

Infinite Auto

stock b20z

RCautoworks

What will be your rev limit ?

meatball

have you ran it in the 1/4

aaroboost

wow. i am impressed, not only with the motor setup, but the little money you spent. I was wondering if you could post how much all those parts cost you, i have done some searching, but can not find exactly what im looking for. thanks.
