efguy16 · 03-19-2009, 10:50 PM

nice thread what motor are you using and what computer are you using im bout to start a thread of my ef build im doing

99sidude · 03-19-2009, 10:59 PM

What brand impact gun are you going to use to put all that back together? I'd avoid using one from Harbor Freight because it might not torque the head studs properly.

Ethan · 03-20-2009, 11:03 PM

Ill fix it tomorrow. Enjoy the video for now.

Ethan · 03-20-2009, 11:11 PM

Didn't really feal like working on it much today. I got all the fluids filled up so i could start it and test drive it. That's about it. 3 days of working on it had me tired.

More tomorrow!

efguy16 · 03-21-2009, 12:17 AM

used it yet? if so how did it pull compared to a regular b2?

efhondakid · 03-22-2009, 01:27 AM

It was in the car when I bought it, it was hacked, basicly a Z6 head on the B2 block with an A6 intake mani, and a PM6 ECU. Took it out the second day I had it to swap my old LS into it.

Ethan · 03-22-2009, 01:32 AM

lol nice

Ethan · 03-22-2009, 01:51 AM

tomorrow ima try to get some video of the beast and updates on everything iv done.

but im calling it a night at 2am lol

OGMatt · 03-22-2009, 01:52 AM

looks like a peace of art with all the colours

Ethan · 03-22-2009, 01:54 AM

lol its perty right?

Ethan · 03-22-2009, 10:51 PM

I don't know what happened to my camera so i couldn't get photos or videos today but i did do some work on it.

(1) finished wiring for reverse lights.
(2) welded and installed exhaust.
(3) cleaned up my wiring for radio.
(4) got rid of the unbalanced steelies i had on the front.
(5) fixed the gauge lights. (pin came out of gauge harness)
(6) cleaned about two tons of shit outta the car.

Still cant get rid of the CEL for the code 10. Not to worried about it right now.

GOING TO GET IT INSPECTED TOMORROW!!!

Ethan · 03-26-2009, 01:31 AM

Well looks like something good might go into the hatch after all... i just got a b18 block. thinking about building it and putting it in there. any thought on what i should put on or in it? (head pistons ect.) im not too good with money so no shit that's gonna cost me more than a broke 19 year old father could pay.

efhondakid · 03-26-2009, 10:55 AM

So you only got the block? No head or tranny?

Ethan · 03-27-2009, 12:31 AM

Im gonna get it outta the way im drunk as fuck so typing = shit.

yea just the block. with just a crank in it... lol i wanna build it up. i know cheap isnt a option. im just sayin i cant go on top dollar parts.

Ethan · 05-08-2009, 05:04 PM

Well for a update so far i put 4000 miles on it since i changed the engine and converted it to manual. it still runs great and i haven't had one problem.

By the way gotta love how it is on gas. 5 bucks gets me about 140-150 miles.
(Estimated Time: 1 hour 55 minutes Estimated Distance: 96.67 miles)
That trip i made it there and half way back before getting more gas and i put in 5 bucks on empty.

Thanks to everyone on HS for the help!

89' Project Civic · 05-26-2009, 09:36 PM

Good to see everything is going well.

Ethan · 05-26-2009, 11:04 PM

Its going great iv gone over 7000 miles without 1 problem.
