at long last.........Here are the updates!
Firstly, A new steering wheel and snap off boss were needed as my other snap off / wheel were not the best!
Bought myself a MOMO 300mm (or 280 :S ) steering wheel, it was a bit shiny so with the help of a very fine wire brush i got it back upto new condition,
then paired up with the new snap off boss i bolted it on!
And then the important update, I wasn't intending on doing this until i built a custom gearbox, but it came for a price i couldn't resist!
SO, After being offered a B18C6 with an S80 box for a bargain price, i started getting other parts i needed!
The shopping list :
New Water Pump
New oil for engine & Gearbox
New Filters
New Cambelt & tensioner
Spoon ECU with 5100 Vtec and 9000 Redline
Innovative Engine mounts with 75a Bushes
FEEL's 4-2-1 Manifold
Cusco Rear Lower Brace (powder coated yellow as it was a bit shabby!)
Short shifter / extension, Badly engineered so needed some grinding to fit in the shift linkage
EK9 Gearknob
Sump Baffles
TODA Flywheel, thin as a pringle!
Stage 3 Clutch
Sytec Fuel Pressure Guage
Magnetic Sump Plugs for engine / G-box
Then after picking up the manifold we went off upto Scooby Projects in ledbury (where si vti works) with his fine self, and started work!
After some issues along the way and some serious lack of sleep / food it was in, started first time, then went for a late night drive
Once again, Massive thanks to Si Vti, Helping a brother out in this build once again!
All to do now is swap an O-ring on an injector as one was leaking the morning after! Sealed up for now, but new one is a must!
ill let the pics say the rest:
Stuff:
Manifold
Sump Baffles welded in by Si
new ECU
TODA Flywheel
Stage 3 Clutch on!
The Engine
Old one out,
We then swapped over the HONDATA Thermal Gasket, Skunk 2 Inlet Manifold, AEM Fuel Rail & Fuel pressure regulator
& the oil cap
Cusco Rear Brace:
Short Shifter / Extension & Ek9 Gear-knob
And its in!
Then, after a small amount of debating, Out came the Powered Steering
And shes good to go, Fired up first time
:
And now its back in the garage all clean again, waiting for a sunny day!
I have to say, it pulls better than i expected, cant wait to get it out on track
and just generally out for drives when the weathers nice!
Now to start carry on with my original plan, so its ready to build over next winter.
Thanks to everyone who i got parts off, & who helped with general info!
