    WTB: Civic Wagon 88-91

    Hi Hondaswap Community. I'm in San Jose California and I'm looking for an 88-91 Civic Wagon (Wagovan!). I've got about $3500 to play with and I've decided to move away from my 1990 Civic Si (which I would be happy to throw in as a trade for a wagon!). I'd prefer a non-4wd model if I can...

    de-stroked gsr (pseudo B16B)

    <--- joking about budget... I suppose tone is hard to put into text so I'll try to be clearer from now on. As for the Greddy or Edelbrock kits they are not legal for a 1990 Civic Si with a D16A6 (unless I misread the PDF that was posted on the ARB site). Good thought though, I've thought about...

    de-stroked gsr (pseudo B16B)

    Sounds like $$$ to me, though I knew this build wouldn't be as inexpensive as my D16. I'll have to make some sort of justification to the wife about custom pistons and rods... maybe I can tell here it's a "lab materials fee" for the class I'll see about my options for rods and pistons in the...

    de-stroked gsr (pseudo B16B)

    I was lurking on Team Integra and spotted a specification that I can't seem to find in either service manual. The rod width... supposedly it's different between the B18c/B16b family of motors and the B16a's and B18A/B... "The B18C1, B18C5, and B16B rod are 1.96-2 mm narrower (0.858 in. vs...

    de-stroked gsr (pseudo B16B)

    Cool, I downloaded and checked the two (gsr and b16) and the only difference seems so small that I don't think it would be an issue, but I'm no real expert (yet!). Assuming the Factory Manuals are correct the main journals are the same for #'s 1,2,4,5 The diameter for #3 is: B16A -...

    de-stroked gsr (pseudo B16B)

    So just after posting my last reply I went looking for a little more info. Some "other" Honda board mentioned that the crank bearings are different between the B16 and B18c and that the crank is not a direct drop in. Any validity in that? If so I guess the next question is by how much are...

    de-stroked gsr (pseudo B16B)

    I'd love to have a turbo kit that wouldn't get my car impounded... but seriously I do love California. I guess my "non ideal" statement about the B16b/GSR build is that I'm not that familiar with the B series engine (and that's not what was in the car to begin with). If it's truly nothing more...

    de-stroked gsr (pseudo B16B)

    I don't think it would be an ideal first build... luckily I've already passed that point :D I have a d16a6 that my dad and I rebuilt in our garage. Scat rods, SRP pistons, ARP rod bolts and head studs, MLS head gasket and a rebuilt (stock) head. Runs like a champ. We built it for the Jackson...

    de-stroked gsr (pseudo B16B)

    Ok, one more question... I used to have a GSR and I remember it having a dual track intake manifold. Any problems using this on a higher revving motor? Pros/Cons? It seems that Skunk2 has a single track intake manifold that is CARB legal. any opinions?

    de-stroked gsr (pseudo B16B)

    Thanks for the info! I'm going to have to start gathering parts. I start the program in September so I'll post updates when I start getting things together. I'm beginning to really like the sound of this motor going into my 1990 Si :D

    de-stroked gsr (pseudo B16B)

    Thanks for the zealauto link, I've been playing around with that for a while now (back when all I could get to was some russian archive of the site!). That's how most of this got started. I understand that I can't pass a b16b at the referee station, BUT I can pass a "gsr" (or pass a stock gsr...

    de-stroked gsr (pseudo B16B)

    I was wondering if it was possible to use the internals from a b16b in a GSR? I've always thought that the b16b was a unique little motor and having just started a series of classes where I have access to the machine shop I was thinking about putting one together... assuming it fits :confused...

    1990 Civic Si rear disc swap

    Thanks for the quick response. I'll shoot you a pm if I decide to go with the Integra booster/MC.

    1990 Civic Si rear disc swap

    I've searched :confused: ... and most of what I've seen has to do with a rear disc swap for a Crx. I just picked up the full rear trailing arm and hubs from a Crx Si. I know I'll need new lines but I'm unsure as to which model they should come from, DA (2 or 4 door?) or Crx Si? I'm planning on...
