hey everyone. I have a 1990 Civic dx with the "wonderful" d15 in it. It has 220k miles on it and its smoking. Time for a rebuild. However I managed to get my hands on a b16a block and crank. I have never built a motor before but I have done just about everything else mechanical. I have the block and an engine stand and not sure where to go from here. So heres goals etc:
The car will be a non street legal drag only car. As in trailed into and out of the track so legality isnt an issue.
I dont have ANY experience with vtec.
I would after one race season like to boost it.
I have a build budget of around $1500
Horpsepower and torque dont really matter, I just want something better than the stock b16 power and reliability so i can get alot of passes down the track in it.
I dont know what books and or tools I will need along with what ecu and wiring I will need. So I am asking for guidance in building this motor and then swapping it into my civic. Thanks
Also I am in san diego so if anyone would like to come over I always have a fridge full of beer Send me a pm. Thanks
