Ethan's 91 Civic HB Official Thread

[Ethan]

That's just crazy talk. You better stick to a safe 7.3.

lmao any idea if those shocks and springs will fit my car?

 

[92stoccord]

No idea. I'm still trying to find money to buy parts for reconstruction. Wish I had the money for a RHD front clip. Make my life a lot easier.

 

[Ethan]

you have a build thread?

 

[92stoccord]

Not really. I have a thread in the lounge, but I really should make one. everything is just moving at a snail's pace right now though.

 

[Battle Pope]

the shocks probably won't but I think the springs are interchangeable.

the probe turbo is probably just internally wastegated at .5 bar, I'm sure it's capable of more than that.

 

[Ethan]

yea im sure it would be. but... its all im looking for right now.

 

[Ethan]

well i think i got a bit over my head... i started taking a old d15 head apart before my d16 head to change the valve stem seals. but once i started taking the d15 head apart i noticed i don't think i will be able to put it back together.

iv been taking photos and video so prepare for updates.

 

[Ethan]

Now iv got another issue my driver side axle wont come out. i can pop it free and get it to come out about an inch. after that it wont budge. i think the little round clip is stuck but i dont know what to do.

 

[Ethan]

Uploading pics now...

 

[Ethan]

As you can see in the last pic i still cant get my axle out...

 

[Matts96HB]

I've had problems getting axles out before too, the remedy for me has always been a bigass pry bar.

 

[Ethan]

we tryed two big ass pry bars with two people... also a big bar and a air hammer. any more ideas?

I think im gonna have to take the transmission apart. my thoughts are the clip that holds it in is fucked.

 

[Ethan]

Well i went to get the engine hot tanked and i ended up not doing it. the guy and me started talking and i was surprised how much the old fart knew about hondas. he said for about 2700 he would build my engine to about 300hp. thats when i walked out the door.

 

[GlassHeadlights]

N/A or T'd?

 

[Ethan]

[efhondakid]

[Ethan]

[efhondakid]

lmao i don't know why but i honestly love my car mitch match...

Mine has been dubbed "The Ladybug" by all my friends, and fuck paint, its whats under the hood that makes people like it.

 

[kg728]

There's no way that guy can build the d16a6 to 300 hp N/A... lol

 

[GlassHeadlights]

Idk, it seems so hard to make a 200 hp D series motor, making 300 hp and not even VTEC sounds like a scam.
