Should go like stink!
I am stripping wiring from the whole car interior (behind dash) and under bonnet and swapping to 0bd1 from the del sol. WHAT A JOB!! lol
Also just got hold of some ek9 springs? will the be a nice upgrade from my standard eg?
I have a couple more pics and will keep you updated
It will have a little cosmetic work done also because it looks a bit hiddeous, any ideas are wellcome :)
 
Got all wiring sorted,ended up using a d15b2 obd1 interior harness and ran wires for vtec and knock sensor. Hub nuts all cracked and oils drained, old engine disconnected just waiting on my engine crane... clarke 1 ton extendable arms for £100 decent price? I have also just rust treated and repainted arches i will get some pics. Anybody have any ideas of what colour to repaint rims? white, black etc
 
welll..... after stripping down the motor to regrease everything give it a clean and change timing belt etc i found that the timing on one camshaft was 40 Degree out :S hopefully it should be ok. just going to do the drop it out the bottom method, easy and cheaper! Heres a link Honda Civic EG 1992-95: How to remove engine through the bottom Cant wait! also my d15 sump is the exact same as the b16a's ??? just the b16 seems to have a leak due to rough handling and rust when the other guy has moved it
 
I have seen engine running but just worried about the damage the timing could have done, 40" couldn't have done much surly? Come on someone convince me lol
Also alloys, White or black?
 
Should i use the hubs and axels from the del sol or just keep eg ones?
would it be classed as an upgrade in braking performance?


i have had an epic battle with a ball joint tonight on the front suspension fork, drivers side came no problem but passenger side just wont budge tried even sepparating with car jack but it just bends the fork. and ball joint splitter is no good

Engine in :D
Few probs...
Gear linkage to long... So i have take 3" off and it fits snuggly :)
Front engine mounts slightly different... ermm yet to rectify may just drill some holes in the right location? any one done this?
also i only realised today i had no map sensor lol because the loom obd1 interior loom i have used was supplied with a wired in map and the del sol ran a sepperate wire (not attached to engine loom) so had make sepperate wire for that but no probs
still to fit new mani fill all fluids
i did however bleed to clutch which still seems to feel light but couldnt get any more air out. it seems to engage ok
 
B16's looking good man, will certainly shift :D Definitely keeping an eye on this build, should be a good one. ;)
 
Very stressful day today....
had major problems with the gear linkage and support linkage thingy. Totally different shape, and to long. so i got the main gear change linkage chopped and put right but the bloody support bar!!!!
Lost it, cut the bar off with grinder and now jut going to fasten it to underneath of car (bolt through floor) so the stick is stable, i really couldnt get it to fit correct lol is the any problems with this setup?

also got my stock eg springs changed for oem ek9 and
heres a pic of my manifold, it is new just my mucky hands!

If anyone could throw me a thought on the way im doing the gear box i would really appreciate it
