man... i am at a loss. you need to start thinking about people you know who might know a mechanic... or tow the car to someone who can just get it figured out really. freak i'm in poland right now... no chance in helping sorry. =) don't give up!

despite the interior the car looks like it is in nice shape... and the b18 should be a torque rocket for that car. seeing it makes me want one!! i hope you keep updating and tell us how the car drives in the end. :)

the combination of car and photo gives me the idea of how the car should have looked off the showroom floor. a work of art... :)

blanco: i really like the build. i slowly built a d16a6 over 6 years that became totalled, and i'm now sitting on a stock 90si crx. i have always wanted to stay away from a motor swap and even vtec (z6 head) but after all of the reading lately i am considering the z6. last i read it looked...

what i was saying about the oil problem is that you are one of several examples of people with d16y8 problems - all i've read are having blown engines. someone who knows more than i might have a suggestion so the replacement d16y8 will not be subject to leaving your friend without a car. does...

you never said whether or not you found the second dowel pin... without it your head might slide around slightly despite the tightness of your torque, and it will especially move around potentially BEFORE you tightened the head bolts. fyi i did a head gasket twice in two days (first time...

jlicrx's car looks absolutely beautiful.... and it has stock body parts. you should be able to find oem either used or oem replacement for cheaper than a DECENT body kit bumper, and IMO there are few if any front bumpers i would recommend besides stock. for the crx the ideal is the si bumper...

what oil issues need to be addressed with the d16y8? my friend's took a crap also and i've been reading other stories about oil pump issues. take this into consideration before you dump another d16y8 into the civic. :)

i am wondering if this thread is real... where am i?

as for the other 1.5l article that is similar... i say again. start with making modifications that are interchangeable with other transplants. and although an 8 valve head is not ideal, it is still capable of more power than stock. -intake -exhaust (maybe even header) -suspension and 15'...

i swear people need to read things more carefully... read this entire thread again please 'swift'. i was thinking today about the v6's honda has built... to me these motors (i.e. that generation v6) should be interchangeable but the transmission is probably the 'sticky' part. i was given the...

i have never had a transmission apart, but to me this sounds like a synchro-mesh problem. i learned early in age how to drive a transmission without the clutch and if you understand this concept you understand that the gear shift will not slip in to that gear until the rpms match, which sounds...

pay attention guys... the two people doing posts about their hf's are giving signs of not being mechanics. as i posted in the other post, i advise anyone who is 'not into engines that much' to start off slow and easy, unless you plan to pay someone to do it for you. things to do before and...

if you are new to tuning the last thing you want to do is complicate your life with an engine transplant... unless you happen to be a mechanic that is new to what some call the 'import' or 'tuner' scene. i don't know you personally but the impression is... you need to learn a few things before...

regardless of whether or not i am a toyota and/or honda fan, it seems like a waist of 'energy' to put a perfectly good k20 into a perfectly good toyota. there has to be a toyota conversion that will give you all of your desires. not to mention the fact that the engine in it is great... from...

blanco: i've always liked what you have to say... as for this project, i have two words of personal advice: a car is for driving, and a tuned naturally aspirated honda is a blast to drive. less talking/thinking and more action. start by getting any motor swapped and go from there. i think...

for someone just starting to tune cars this project is incredible, and it is impressive to me how much time you must have spent researching. i would love to hear how it turns out and send you invisible energy to help you complete it :) ___________ 88crxsi nat.asp. - totalled in vegas - 6...

yeah, i noticed the date after i had sent the reply... i'm glad someone enjoyed it though!! :)

chilton or other... it's more than just a bible... it saves you time and money by not having to rely on forums and other people floating out in cyber space to direct you. part of being a car mechanic involves reading manuals with time and patients. you learn things and do things properly this...
