Ok I started a thread a long time ago and never really got anywhere. Now I am back on track so instead of bringing back a dead thread I started a new one. I am working on my 93 coupe.




So far I have gutted the interior and replaced the tan/brown parts with black. I replaced the stock steering wheel with a Momo tuner series wheel. I also took the fabric off the door panels and rear speaker covers and painted them to match. This picture is a bit old, but I have replace the e-brake handle and seat belts as well.




Next I added rear disc brakes from a 94 integra, and skunk2 coilovers (which I will be replacing in the future).




I put front and rear strut tower braces from skunk2.


I have also added a front sway bar from a 94 ex, and a comptech rear sway bar with subframe brace. I also have an Apexi WS2 cat back and I love the way it sounds. It is quiet.





Now on to the engine. I bought a wrecked car for $800 which included a b16a, gsr tranny, exedy clutch, and various other parts which I sold and made $1000. So really someone gave me a b16 and $200 and said have a nice day. Pics of the car.






And some pics of the engine.














I have broken down the engine and had the block honed and the head milled,
cleaned, pressure tested and re-sealed.







I painted the valve cover, block, and tranny.








I have ordered all the necessary parts for the engine rebuild. I got a new oil and water pump, all new gaskets, bearings, rings, header, and bolts where needed. I have a p28 ecu that I am having chipped. This is just going to be a stock rebuild, nothing fancy. I am rebuilding for the first time so I thought I would stay stock for now. Later maybe I will try something a little more power oriented.

Looking awesome man! Looks just like how the car should have come from the factory. I love seeing builds like this!

wikedeye

I updated the first post with more pics of the block and tranny. I also have some more pics of the rebuild progress.









Thats as far as I have gotten, but I should have it all back together by next week.

lookin good

wikedeye

Thanx. I am actually going to finish it this time.

D16SiHatch

why the devil did you leave the reverse solenoid on when painting the trans? woulda taken a lot less time to take it out versus taping the bastard off lol

wikedeye

I wanted all the clips and brackets to match so I left it on and taped off. This way the new looking trans has new looking hardware. I am going to paint all the motor mount brackets as well for the same reason.

DESPAIN

good job!!!!~

Matts96HB

that car that you bought.. WTF did the previous owners do to it?
that thing was HAGGARD
but score on the b16 swap inside

eg6sir

nice.. ur going to replace the headstuds w/ some ARPs right?

wikedeye

The guy ran it into a guard rail. Bad for him...good for me.

Actually I am just using new oems. Its just an oem rebuild so I didnt really think the arp's were worth it. $120 versus $66.

Matts96HB

i was referring to the interior.. WTF?
wires running everywhere, bare wires, a seat that appears to have been in a fire at some point, carpet fail.. poor car.
i just dont know how someone could do all that crap to a car in that way and think it turned out well..

glad to see its in the right hands now, though.

wikedeye

You dont know the half of it...This kid had tvs, shaved door handles, riveted on body kit, shaved gas door (and the replacement of the gas intake was terrible), shaved license plate, black fake leather on all the trim with red stitching and the car had blueish grey interior. There were wires for the stereo, and all the other crap he had rigged up in there. He took all the carpet and the seats before I got it. He had replaced the front clip at some point. I had some pics of the really bad welding job that was done, but I deleted them.

Anyway the car is gone now and the engine is getting a little love. I updated the op with some more pics. I am just waiting on one part to come in and then I will get this engine back together.

Boosted199

that might be a great idea and it really looking good, good luck

Magana559

wow did that guy never change his oil or what? look at the cam cap girdle! its a good thing you rebuilt it!

wikedeye

I dont know. It was really dirty. Everything is in good shape though luckily.

Getting my head bolts and all the rest of the bolts that I need to finish the build tomorrow. So I should have some good updates wed. night.

wikedeye

I got some work done on the engine yesterday. I had a little problem. I must have lost one of the rod nuts when I checked the bearing clearance a couple of weeks ago. I had to order one from the local dealership and it will be there tomorrow. So all the rods are torqued down except the #1 rod. I put on the oil pump, rear main seal, and water pump. I stopped at the water neck because I forgot to clean it up. I cleaned it and painted it to match the engine and put it on this morning.

Question: Do I have to put a bolt in the hole for the knock sensor, or can I leave it open? I am having the knock sensor deleted when I get my ecu chipped.

wikedeye

I got the head on tonight, and I will upload the pics tomorrow. Anyone have an answer to my knock sensor question?

Matts96HB

i believe you can leave it open.

this is looking great.
