A mate of mine is thinking about getting an EK9,but since he doesnt have 50 post's he cant advertise it on here.He has asked me to post up until his post count gets over the magic 50...
below are some pics and spec of the car
spec: (off the top of my head...probably more stuff i forget)
1991 honda crx VT 111000 miles (mot until next may)
Car was declared as a cat c in 2000 (previous owner)
Fully welded up and sprayed in USDM honda element rootbeer.
(full build thread with HUNDREDS of pics here: Redirect )
B20 vtec with itr spec pistons (11.8.1 c/r) re-built 2000 miles ago (new oem waterpump/oilpump/rod bearings/ itr lma/ new HONDA seals everywhere)
block runs a golden eagle b20 conversion set.
Tri-Y manifold welded up into a once piece system (extra bungs added for widebands and to run 0BDO)
tanabe hyper medallion 2.5 inch exhaust.
blitz sus air filter
short ram intake.
skunk 2 pro series intake manifold.
spoon ITR throttle body (70mm tapering to 68mm)
AEM fuel rail and gauge.
custom catch can
exceedy uprated clutch
lightened aftermarket flywheel.
stock socketed ecu tunes by BRE (Redirection)
Eibach pro springs on koni yellow shocks!
12TUNE carbon fiber bucket seats x2
12TUNE carbon fiber bonnet.
12TUNE carbon fiber sunroof.
Full mugen pro 2 kit
cusco rear upper strut brace.
unknown beefy looking front one
fully poly bushed
D2 rear lower control arms.
D2 rear toe adjusters
D2 rear camber adjusters
prelude 345cc injectors
rover MGZR front large brake conversion, oem rear calipers. (just had new disks + pads on the rear)
Mugen steering wheel (genuine unit, not ebay tat etc)
Short shifter
enkei RP-01 alloys clad in goodyear eagle F1's
all these bits replaced for new items within the last 2000 miles:
new rad
new dizzy
new leads
new front upper arms
rear disks + brakes
everything in the engine is virtually new (*see below)
pair of new OEM track rod ends (honda only for crx's, cost £140 for the pair)
bad bits:
engine smells and has mapping issues. according to my LM-1 wideband the engine is dumping an afr of 10-11.0 on idle! willy wanging in a car park is fine it is around 14.2 - 14.7. engine throws the CEL error codes 43/44, then runs rich. it NEEDS re-mapping. compression is down on number 1 cylinder. threw 250+ psi per cylinder bar that one which threw 225 psi. guessing i have wall damage,
so
with this car is ANOTHER b20 engine:
b20z1
jsut back from machine shop, bored to 84.5mm , 84.5mm itr spec pistons. I beam rods. stock b16a head. (needs bearings/headgasket and the goodies swapping off the ones currently in there ie: arp head studs/ oil filter take off etc)
paint job was ok. can still see some sanding and filler marks if you look very closley, paint is starting to bubble only on the rear bumper (we are sure its trapped moisture in the fiberglass moulds evoparating in the heat and lifting off the paint) i brought way to much paint first time around and i still have around 2.5 liters left.
needs new steering rack end bushing and rack ends. rack has a tiny but of play on the passenger side. bush is a few quid from honda and rack ends are cheap from motor factors (i know, i work in one!)
at the end of the day i have nothing to hide.
also all my other spares in the garage are going to
lots of crx bits (interiors/consoles etc)
bare b16a block.
bare b18c4 block (has cylinder damage)
lots of engine bits. b20z1 pistons rods and arp bolts/ numerous sumps etc etc
reason for sale. its just cost me SOOOO much sinse buying it (i paid over the odds just buying it! 3500!!!)
car runs and drives, it just smells rich and funkey
Looking for a swap for an EK9
He has just given me some further info:
skimmed 5tho, itr spec valve seats, new stem seals, I beam forged rods.
also got the ostrich rom emulator and hulog installed so just needs a laptop to map.
(maps pretty good atm, drivable and safe)
also going with the innotave lm-1 control box+ brand new sensor installed.
obv engine no longer smells, jsut in traffic from the free air crank case
really should do a better add lol
Please contact aaran (on here )directly and he will happily answer any questions
