Again, you are replacing the pistons, which means taking off the timing belt. Don't bother.

 

I wish i could do an ECOTEC swap, lol

Honda engines **** me off

 

I'd say she's good to go man. Just throw on a bigger fart can, intake, and install a fake bov. YOu'll have no problems pulling Cobra's

Just kidding, good project car. I like the idea of having a daily driver and a project car as well. I am looking at doing something similar with a V8 VERY soon.

 

Tell him one more time so he gets it...he's a bit hard headed since he's a Honda owner now lol.

 

I just want to know why my engine is running like shittttt

I feel like just replacing it with another engine, but I don't wanna scrap this engine after all the work that's been done to it

 

when my cousin put a b18c1 in his integra, he had to do something funny to wire in the vtec right. for the life of me i cant remember what he did. i can tell you he had to swap the engine, tranny, as well as the wiring harness and pcm cause its completly different from normal to vtec.

 

not to jack the thread.... good luck hack, i will race you for slips when i get my 1950 chevry truck done..... 350 with twin turbo...... hehehehe

 

lmao do a swap. that would be F***ing hilarious

 

Yeah but then the wiring would be a nightmare, along with the need for custom axles and mounts.

 

Sometimes you have to cut your losses...

But like Halfcent said, just continue the engine work and take it out of the engine bay so you can get a better look of what might possibly been causing it.

Read the sig Hack lol

 

I dont have VTAK, but nice try

 

I will say one thing. Well, maybe a few.

1. what is up with the side stripe and side decals? lol.

2. That was a steal for under 400 bucks. Around here, you could hardly buy the shell for that.

3. You've got a great platform to start on. Me and my friend are building up a '90 Si, and it's by far one of the most fun cars to drive. And I've driven Porsches before. He's on his 3rd and he's only 16. The first was stock. The 2nd had a ZC. And this new one currently has the stock SOHC motor with over 300k on it. Runs perfect. In the process of getting B18 motor in as we speak.

4. If you need any parts or if you'vve got any questions, let me know. We'll hook you up. We have a spare CRX we're parting out/selling as-is/something. Let me know. BTW, it's the ZC one we're trying to sell. The ZC one and the new one are both Si's.

 

Dont ask, I have no idea... Those arent decal stripes either, its white spraypaint....


I know, that's what I have been trying to tell everyone here!

Yeah, my engine sohould have somewhere in the order of 100-200k on it. It runs and drives great under 4k RPM, it actually starts easier than my cobalt, and never fails to start. I started it the other day in negative degree weather on the first crank!

The only thing I'm looking for at this point is an unmolested stock dash, but I should be able to find one of those at my local junkyard once the weather clears up. Thanks though

 

I know you don't but I like to twist your nipples a bit

 

please do

 

Twist your nipple? lol

You stilly little man you.

 

Why are you STILL troubleshooting an engine that you are going to take apart?!?!

 

Most of my current issues are being caused by parts OUTSIDE the engine lol

It appears that my ignition problems could be the igniter. And my CEL problems could be caused by the O2 sensor.

 

If it's smoking you can bet the O2 sensor is getting covered.....

 

Yeah, it's smoking BAD

 

Keep a couple of spare O2 sensors and swap them out with a clean one when you get a CEL

 

Why is there a Honda picture on the bow tie web page......major contamination!

 

Contamination isnt what's on this website....

Contamination is what you get when you drive behind me when I'm in my honda. hahahaha
