I have been working on my 93 eg coupe for about two years now. I have done quite a bit of work on the interior and suspension, but I have been looking and waiting for an engine. Well today I finally purchased my second civic (two cars at once for the first time), which just happens to have a b16 in it, for $800. The car is a wreck and is too far gone to repair, but the engine sounds beautiful. The car has a gsr tranny, exedy clutch, dc header, adj. cam gears, rear disc conversion, p73 ecu, and a bunch of other random stuff (like gauges, etc.). Anyway here are the plans for the engine. I am going to pnp the head as well as get a good valve job (still looking for a good machine shop if anyone has any recommendations). Get the cylinders honed, Replace the pistons and rods, and use the ctr cams. I want to keep the compression low enough for a turbo set up, but that will be later. My end goal is between 250-300hp. Aside from the work on the head I plan to do everything myself, and it will be my first time building any engine, so any advice will be appreciated. It is 2:30am and I havent had a chance to take any pics, but first thing tomorrow I will update with a ton.

Here are some pics that I took today.

Here is a video of the engine running. The sound quality is bad, but it is the best I can do right now.

I bought it for the engine...I could care less about the rest of the car.

wikedeye · 06-29-2008, 08:07 PM

I have been trying to find out why someone would use the p73 ecu (I think I put 72 before) with a b16a. I know it is used for the b16b, but is there a benefit on a b16a, or would I just be better off getting a p30.

Luis998 · 06-29-2008, 08:29 PM

Good luck finding a P30. They're kind of rare. You would be better off finding a p28 since they are more common and going with that. I hope to hear more about your build as it goes on and wish you the best on it.

BrutalB83 · 06-29-2008, 11:38 PM

Wow, that Civic looks like a classic rice-mobile. Ugly body-kit with chicken wire, fugly-ass CR-X rims that don't match the car at all, pins on the stock hood, in a stupid-looking location to boot! Yep, it's all there...

I'd be somewhat worried that the engine hasn't been beaten all to hell, but then again, it sounds like you're going to pretty much rebuild the whole thing, right?

stevennn09 · 06-30-2008, 01:12 AM

someone did not care about that poor car. the seats looks like something ate it. and wtf is with the dash? is that like a leather dash bra? good find btw. it's kinda what mine looked like when i bought it. best of luck to you

Those aren't meant to be hood pins, they're meant to be nipples as to show that the car is owned by a very masculine guy.

Ah, sleep is coming over me fast.

I dont have a pic of it but it starts via a nos switch (turn on the ingintion, push the switch). I am definitely going to rebuild the engine, but it really does run pretty well. It sounds like it needs a timing adjustment.

It did have different seats before, but the guy sold those and yes the dash and panels are covered in leather. This car is getting stripped for usable parts and then scrapped unless anyone wants the empty shell.

thsancho86 · 06-30-2008, 04:46 PM

I'd say your doing that poor car a service by letting it die, it and the automotive world say

.

wikedeye · 06-30-2008, 10:53 PM

Yeah I feel its better to let other civics partake in the usable parts from this car and get what I can for the leftover scrap metal. Anyway here are some pics of the eg that b-series is going into. I have replaced almost the entire interior (notice the tan e-brake). All the suspension is new Skunk2 all around, Energy bushings, momo tuner wheel, I have a rear disc conv. and wilwood front kit that I havent put on yet because I have just been lazy.

What do you think?

BrutalB83 · 06-30-2008, 11:12 PM

Not bad!

Why did you have to replace the whole interior?

Luis998 · 06-30-2008, 11:32 PM

Your EG brings a tear to my eye. It looks great and will be a lot happier with the B16 in it.

It was originally tan, but the person I bought it from painted most of it blue, and tried to dye the back seats black and it pretty much looked like shit. I just need seat belts and an e-brake to finish, and the front door panels are the blue ones, I just painted them to match the rest until I can find an oem pair. It is pretty hard to find them with manual windows, but you can throw a rock blind folded and hit a set with power windows.

Thanx for the compliment Luis. She has been asking for a b16 for a long time.

Luis998 · 07-01-2008, 08:03 AM

Dude, she's BEAUTIFUL! She rightfully deserves it.

LMFAO@Conan the Hondarian. HAHAHAHAHA I guess you liked it that I called you that enough to put it as your "title" under your name? haha!

That's AWESOME!
