imcnblu's build thread (2012 UPDATES page 26)

cammed LS

gets me where I need to go, for now.

Hopefully next year at the meet, I’ll be sporting a properly built LS/VTEC making north of 200whp.

[QUOTE=kNOwLedGe420;2151907]Your bumper signals couls ude some TLC.

I say strip the orange off of 'em and polish those bad boys up with some 3M rubbing compound for OEM goodness.[/QUOTE]

They’re just a little dirty. When I put the car back together, I never cleaned them up. So, they still have a layer of dirt on them. When clean, they shine like new. :slight_smile: I might buff/polish them for good measure, though. I’m definitely a fan of the amber. I’m in the market for another set, though. I want to get Dave to do his “air duct” treatment on a passenger lens for me. Me and him have already negotiated a price. I just need to motivate myself to get it done. I also need to do some cold air ducting behind the bumper to the intake to make it worthwhile. I likely won’t mess with any of it until I do the swap next year (hopefully things come together that way, anyway)

Put the 5Zigen wheels back on today. Detailed the living shit out of the interior. Got a violent sunburn in the process.

Lowered the rear about an inch to get the height perfectly level. Super Sexy Slammed status has been confirmed, lol.

Pics of the car in its proper form to come tomorrow evening after the meet. Its about to storm like hell, so I’m not snapping any pics right now.

Okay, Mike (DA JeLLie), you win. I updated my thread.

*ordered the cheapest short ram intake I could find, as I have no intentions of using the filter that comes with it. I will be ordering a Blox Velocity Stack kit for use with it.
Ordering this tomorrow:

BIG updates coming soon. My DA will finally be getting a new heart, and I’d like to get some new visual updates for it, too. :slight_smile:

the swap:
http://www.japaneseengineimport.com/engine_details/honda_b18c-gsr/

I’m only paying $2600 out the door since I’m local, and a friend in that shop’s area put in a good word for me. Owner set me up with a deal. Knocked $100 off the price, and won’t charge me tax. $2600 out the door for a complete swap with start-up guarantee and warranty.

Mods, can I have this thread renamed please? It’s clearly no longer Resting in Peace :giggle:

“imcnblu’s build thread” will suffice.

or, make my mod position official, and I’ll do it myself :wink:

its about time. I expect weekly updates, or better, from here out.

I am wanting to use the Innovative Cable-to-Hydro activator system as I’ve read many more positive reviews about it. My question is, will the Innovative kit work with the Hasport mounts? I’m not talking about the kit that does the full hydraulic conversion (master/slave cylinder, etc.) but the kit that allows a cable system to still be used as normal, on a hydraulic clutch system.

What is this bracket for, and where does it mount?

does it go in between the transmission and the transmission mount? if so, that is the reason for my question. will it work with the HASport mount kit that I’ve already purchased? or will I have to go with the Hasport cable-to-hydro kit?

i know what the other one is, and how to mount it, but I’m not familiar with the one highlighted in red.

Innovative Cable-to-Hydro conversion kit ordered. :up:

as soon as I have the motor in hand, I’m ordering a header for it. Then, I’m ordering the window visors. :up: x93

anyone used one of these aftermarket headers for their car? they look like they are reasonably constructed.

or
http://www.streetimports.com/product_details.asp?id=998

I am rather low, and am concerned about ground clearance and how it will fit with the factory crossmember. I know I’m gonna need to notch the factory cross member for just about any header out there, so that’s not an issue.

any pics of this, or a similar header installed? ground clearance, etc.?

If you got the hasport mounts, why dont you get the hasport conversion?

Its about time you updated this thread! Definitely keep us posted about those window visors, thing such as fitment and overall look, etc. :thumbs up: Good stuff man.

just bought this:

http://www.streetimports.com/product_details.asp?id=998

pic:

not sure if it comes with the donut gasket or not. oh well, its only an extra $10 if not. gonna wait on ordering it until the header arrives.

gonna get this, too:

http://www.corsportusa.com/store/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=4333

then just have the local exhaust shop weld on some flanges and extend it to fit.

Good stuff… Your motor will definitely breathe much better.

very nice Jake, congrats on your latest purchases :wink:

we see you’re ordering stuff…do something!

:werd: kyle

can’t do anything until the stuff arrives.

I’ve got a stack of receipts/invoices, lol. no parts.

when they’re here, I’ll start the process :slight_smile:

Yes they will work together. The plate on the left is bolted with the upper tranny bolts and holds the outer sleve of the clutch cable stationary (basically where the adjustment knob goes).
The plate on the right replaces the hydraulic slave master of the hydro tranny. the clutch cable is routed in the same way as stock, but instead of pulling on the clutch release lever, it pulls on the conversion kit to simulate the hydraulic piston pushing in

Looking good! Looks like you got the cable-hydro conversion figured out. But I just took these pictures tonight, from the 87 Prelude I’m working on. It’s the Explicit Speed kit, with a DA cable installed:



Hope that helps

Nice updates, this makes me want to work on my Da again.

Rywire VTEC conversion harness came in today :slight_smile:

New parts are always nice!
