...:::GABEBAUMAN FINALLY HAS A REASON FOR A BUILD THREAD:::...
No way you say...yes way...the time has finally come. It's taken me nearly EIGHT years to get to this point in my car's life.
A couple weeks ago, I stumbled across a reasonably priced B20Z2 & just couldn't pass-up the chance to get started on my
long-overdue & much needed motor swap.
In no way is my build thread gonna be epic like that of Pandahatch, EF8kid, SHG_EasyE, B16B_coupe, mr.coupe, JDM Dan (It's been so helpful scrolling thru the endless pages of useful & detail oriented build threads these fellas have compiled)
My build will not be overly extensive...just a simple, "Here's what I'm up to" kinda thing to catalog the events of my motor swap & certain DIY mods that make the Honda hobby something enjoyable for me.
If you're not aware, I'm in my third season of SOLO/AUTOX with this car and the new two liter power-plant should be just what the doctor
ordered for my regionally competitive Street Mod classed Civic.
A special thanks to all my buddies who help with tools, parts, know-how, etc. You fellas have given me this opportunity
to get started on this project & I only hope that I can return the favor.
Thanks for stopping by. Feel free to click, [b]Watch this topic so you can remain updated.[/b]
05/27/08 Started the initial tear-down so I can clean the block, head & intake manifold.
Removed the stock cast iron paper weight of an exhaust manifold.
Intake manifold needed to come off as well.
I was amazed at how easy some of the grime, (what little there is) came off when I hit a small portion of the front
of the block with some Simple Green & steel wool.
RE: ...:::GABEBAUMAN FINALLY HAS A REASON FOR A BUILD THREAD:::...
I have a LS tranny
99k miles on it
works perfect
and all mounts necessary for a B-swap
I bought it for my swap but then decided to wait to swap
so either I'm sitting on some parts or
making some cash back
PM me for details
