love it all!! i deff wanna see exactly how you do the catch can set up cause i am wanting to put a catch can on mine
hearing you say that makes me fell alot better about welding it to the block. ive just herd that because the block is cast aluminum that sometimes the weld wont take but Im leaning towards that route at this moment.
[QUOTE=Teg Fares;2247462]LOL you better turn up the boost. You dont wanna get beat by a NA @ this altitude. 
I like this idea. I would not put anymore money into that B18a than neededā¦but i know how you like things Glynn so do what you think is best.[/QUOTE]
well just have to see about that!!! yeah being anal retentive sucks sometimes 
fingers crossed that you dont have to wait long for that update.
if the welds donāt hold itās probably cause the welder isnāt that great. i had a welded in block guard in my ls/vtec and it worked out amazing. also the oil feed in my vtec head was welded shut. iāve also seen him weld the coolant port on the intake side of the head without any problems.
You certainly have one of the most inspiring threads that this website has to offer. Your build has inspired me to finish up my long lost project that I have neglected to finish for many long months . But anyways just to help you out a bit from a honda tech to another. Iāve drained the cooling system by loosening that nut that has special threads at the front part of the block. And Everytime Iāve loosened that damn nut I couldnāt for the love of god get it back on No matter how much I tried and yes at times it felt like the threads at the block were stripped. But if youāve worked on hondas long enough you know how to NOT to strip a bolt or a stud. Now from experience what I have done and it worked for me after some trial & error is to go to honda and buy a new one if possible, and use honda-bond because if you donāt the damn thing will leak. And some of the oneās I did, had a small leak but it dried up whithin a day or so. Once the honda-bond dries then you should be ok. But after you apply honda-bond on the bold threads install it right away. The reason the bolt wont go in itās because the threads on the block & on the bolt get contaminated from the minerals of the water in the cooling system. So you might have to force the bolt like I did, and It may feel like you are stripping it but you arenāt. Youāre just going through the minerals which almost feel like rust and if it stays open long enough it can rust. Good luck to you and I hope you can fix it but honestly you shouldnāt have to re-thread it cause itās very common thing that happens to honda blocks whith age. Send me a mssg if you have any questions if not you can also
e-mail me.
i hope it all comes together for you man i agree with da one this thread is inspirational.
Well that I can assure you will Not be the case. ive put to much time, effort and money into this to skimp on quality.

Call me when you get a chance!
AAARRRRRRRR, me favorite things to do are Pilfer and Pilage 
thanks for your help last weekend buddy. speaking of, on with the updates!!!
Just for the record. Carl keeps shit Gangstaā¦
Started out the day by removing the distributor and starter for rebuild.
Doing the starter is as simple as removing the 3 bolts and pulling out the plunger. after replacing the 2 contacts, clean up the contact area on the plunger and reinstallā¦
Just had to transfer a couple of screws from one distributor to the other.
While Carl was on that project I removed and replaced all 4 rear lower subframe bolts with new locktighted bolts.
once we were done with that, we moved on to installation of the injectors.
I got a little heavy handed while depining the pigtails so had to order a new pigtail set to replace the part I broke. came home to it sitting on my porch yesterday.
be careful people, these little things brake easilyā¦
Got the old breather setup out and what we could of the new one in
swapped out map sensor
Also got both 90-91 horn mounts removed and soon they will be preped to move towards the center of the lower support where they will get rewelded and used as the lower intercooler mounts.
Started the day with a long list of to-doās and in the end knocked most of it out. thanks again buddy 
I also place another vac line order. The wg is such a tight fit around the fitting that I can get a wrench in there to tighten up the fitting so I pick up one that you can insert an allen wrench into along with a couple different size couplers in a effort to find one that will slip and hold on to the IM prts for the map and FPR.
were exactly did you find the B&R A/N fitting with the bracket on it i see the fittings but none with that bracket
:bump: for some PROGRESS! 
I had no idea that pic was going to be on the internets. Ima hide in a corner now 
Glad itās moving along GLynn. It was a bunch of fun and nice to give back some work after receiving so much on my car. Weāll be doing this a few times this spring so keep that spare room ready. Next time you supply the propane Iāll bring a cooler full of meat n stuffz. Maybe a little enticement to get Agazzi Fares and Rabi over
lol your gangsta Carl, good progress Glynn, and im workin with greg @ go-autowork and he has been a huge help with getting the parts needed to finish the DB1. best Customer Service ive ever dealt with.
I bought it directly off of his bussiness thread on H-T
