well, since I was running such high compression, different pistons, and a new fuel pump, etc. I was running way rich.

And this way he tunes the program to My specs, In the car, driving down the road, until it's perfect.

If your talking about Eddie i might get it tuned for a cheaper price

.also not to discourage you in anyway. Neither am i trying to convince you to change you mind but. Why not use the cash to get a b16 (build it later)or build a LS ready for turbo?? I have seen some go for 500 bucks ready to install. I just figuredfor the money you can get something bigger.

If your still set on the Z6. I can help you out with the P&P. I can get it done for cheap. vlave job,port and polish and he'll even clean and paint your head to oem aluminum to amke it look new. He does good work.

skillz2k5 · 07-31-2006, 06:08 PM

ls-vtec anyone?? It probably could be done for around 2k.

i dint mention it cuz he told me personally he would neve build one

I gave him the "if you build it right it will last speech"

skillz2k5 · 07-31-2006, 07:05 PM

lol... I'd rock an ls-vtec if I had the funds right now. Income tax isn't too far off

civic99widebody · 07-31-2006, 07:07 PM

cool

also 2g's? might ass well get a gsr. I recommend building and lsvtec when you have either the block or head already. Its cheaper IMO. But good deals are never too hard to find if you look in the right places

.

skillz2k5 · 08-01-2006, 05:30 PM

By the time he got done converting from d to b it would be no less than 1800 dollars even on smokin ass deals. Block, head, im, exhaust mani (not to mention his exhaust will have to be modified), trans, axels, new gaskets and seals ect ect. If you dont want to build an ls-vtec you could always look into buying the b16a SiR since it's right around 1800 for everything you would need (except exhaust).

Andrew · 08-02-2006, 05:46 PM

Update fellas

Just got off the phone with a guy locally here in town, and he said that he might be about to swap in a b16 into his ride, and if he does, he'd sell me his clean Z6 for nearly free. It's got 60k miles and runs fine.

I'm thinking of doing that just b/c it's pretty fresh, and would be a good canditate to sit in my car while I figure out what I'm gonna do with this busted z6..

Abel- I'm back in town, but will be leaving Friday(through Sunday) for Tampa for a grad. party. I guess I won't be pulling the head off my car until sometime next week (I might just go ahead and pull the whole motor.. idk), so I guess I'll let you know when/if I need the services of your friend(about squaring the head).

The only reason I don't plan on going B is that I don't think I wanna sink $15-2000 into a stock motor swap. I'd rather just get that new z6 built/blown.

skillz2k5 · 08-02-2006, 07:28 PM

Yeah but that little rex of yours would haul some serious ass with even a stock B motor

Andrew · 08-02-2006, 07:55 PM

yeah. I know....
I'd just rather throw money into a blower and suspension. LONG LIVE THE D.

lol...............

skillz2k5 · 08-02-2006, 08:49 PM

It's all good man... at least it will be cheap to replace when it blows up... j.k

Good luck and may the honda god's have mercy on your d series!

Andrew · 08-02-2006, 09:35 PM

Update for tonight, 8/02

Got the Rad, batt, wiring harness, throt/clutch cable, and the a/c compressor unbolted/taken out.

tomorrow is my chill day. I'm gonna be leaving for Orlando Friday, so I've got some stuff to take care of. I'll be back Sunday evening. Monday I'll see what I can accomplish. I will probably be able to drain oil and tranny fluids and start on/get the axles out. If i'm feeling up to it we'll see about the header.

Till then. I bid you all adieu.

97CTR · 08-04-2006, 11:46 PM

Though of a gsr swap instead of all that engine work.

Plus I'd have to switch ECU's, do some extra wiring, etc. I'd just rather not do it right now... I've had enough downtime as it is.

Taco15 · 08-06-2006, 08:11 PM

200 for the tuning was the best i could do Andrew.Hows the car coming along? As soon as my friends hand me my 250 bucks i'll take the motor from you also.

Andrew · 08-06-2006, 10:51 PM

Sweet man. $200's fine with me. I appreciate it!

The motor is almost ready to be pulled- All I have left to do is drain the oil, tranny fluid and pull the axles... Just a day's work.
We might pull the motor this weekend sometime.

And hey, if you know of anyone that wants a high compression engine with a warped head, let 'em know i've got one...

Taco15 · 08-07-2006, 06:00 PM

so the head was warped after all huh. too bad.

Andrew · 08-07-2006, 06:54 PM

i'm not 100% sure.
if I'm dropping a new motor in there anyway, I don't wanna pay to have it checked out...

Andrew · 08-25-2006, 08:19 AM

Update 8-25

I know it's been a while guys, but heres the latest.

I sent my head off the the local machine shop, and they "helped me out" by breaking chunks off my head AND siezing up a rocker. Thread with pics.

I pulled the motor out a couple days ago-

And now It's about ready to ship out to KMS Performance( Honda Performance - KMS Engine Development) for a complete build. (remember me talking about that earlier?)

It's going in for the following:
micropolish crank
shot peen rods
new forged 11:1 pistons
hone cyl.
overhaul oil pump to 10psi for ever 1,000 rpms.
Head:
stage 2 port and polish
stage 2 valves, springs, retainers
stage 2 cam

He (KMS) told me it would take 1 month to build it and have it sent back out to me.
I'll have a few updates in between, so don't think i've forgotten you guys.
-Andrew

Andrew · 09-01-2006, 06:54 PM

Update 9/1

The motor will be shipped out Tuesday to KMS.
I'm seriously contimplating(sp) doing a wire tuck, after reading this and this articles/write-ups.
I'm not too sure.
I know it'll look nice, but is it worth the time? I'll have plenty of time to do it(about a month), and I'm pretty good with wiring... I just havent decided yet.

Help me make up my mind, and is there anything else I need to consider doing while my engine is out and I've got the spare time?

Taco15 · 09-01-2006, 11:56 PM

goodluck getting them all out when you have a short or aopen wire or maybe a blown relay. then you got to take it all out of off to get to whatever you have to get. Uhh i think your first tuck was fine. It was functional and still maintained the crx look. not to mention you can diconnect a plug without taking your fenders off.

you wanted my opinion. there you go. But if you do decide to go ahead with it you can count me in to help you out.

SVOboy · 09-02-2006, 01:45 AM

Hey there! crxMPG.com - Fuel Economy and More! is my site and that was my wire tuck write up, so here I am to poke you to do it! DOO EET. It's kinda fun really, especially as you watch your own progress with those disgusting wires.

Good luck, this thread is great!

Andrew · 09-02-2006, 02:44 PM

well, your site has been very helpfull.
thanks!

Andrew · 09-13-2006, 09:03 PM

Update 9/12

If you havent been following my thread, this is what my setup will be:
