[clifford_05]

is the head bolted down?

 

[slowcivic E G]

that custom braket you made for the throttle cable is nice. looking good dude.

 

[Steven.]

is the head bolted down?

no, just used one bolt to hold it in place so i can make that bracket, the head is back off now.

 

[Steven.]

since i have no AC nor PS,, why do i need that large pulley.
so

on the way

 

[Blazed]

niceeee...looks mint!

Yea Ive got the CTR N1... Great choice... If you need rings... Just get pistons too Ive got CTR pistons for sale stock bore and oversized with new rings and wrist pins... OE btw... 279 + shipping.. hah.

Looks like a good one man... Hope it all works out for you... Heres some pics of my wire tuck...

Ended up VERY nice... And good deal on the GSR doesnt matter if you have to rebuild it... Itll still be cheaper than a gsr longblock.. Where did you find it?

 

[Steven.]

already bought rings, keeping stock pistons, probably boost later down the road.

found it in a pick-n-pull junkyard swapped into a 93 civic coupe

 

[EgHatch93]

Damn... Well very VERY nice find

anyone know if a B18b1 oil pan fir the GSR? if so, saves me some money on finding a pan.

damn dude....i have one of those for sale....because i refuse to use them...

the only pulley i will rock from now on (besides fluidamper) is OEM GSR machined to JUST the alternator pulley.

that way u get the lightweight part, the smaller part, and u keep the rubber dampening that is so important above 7,000 rpms on an engine without PERFECT rod/stroke ratios...

it will not. GSR and ITR have more baffles and have taller oil pickups.

oil pan for a vtec is deeper on the right side near the trans....in other words non vtec pan will not fit vtec motor.....vtec should fit non vtec though.

my gsr pan is beat to s**t, i have FLP oil pan weld in baffles on the way with my rings, but i think i might just get a moroso pan

 

[EgHatch93]

^--- Prob. a good idea either that or a stock oil pan...

 

[EF Honda EF]

that way u get the lightweight part, the smaller part,

the ctr crank pulley is a lot lighter than a machined down gsr or ls crank and the gsr has a larger diameter.

 

[ryanM]

lets just say under $400 for the complete swap, including DC 4-2-1 1 piece header, p72 ecu,

nice, dont you love junkyards? i paid 300 bucks for my jdm CA18 swap. now i'm selling it for $1300

why would honda sell something bad for your engine?

Its not a stock part. Its an aftermarket RACE part used on the CTR endurance cars, that get rebuilt after every race. Hence "CTR N1" pulley. so when your oil pump gear shatters, i'll be the one making that face

its lighter then stock and smaller then stock. thats what he's looking for.

king motorsports can machine down a OEM pulley for $90, but you have to send your to them, since i dont know any good machine shops up here
