Alright so here goes. I purchased this shell roughly 8-9 months ago as a rolling shell. The car has sat ever since because I wanted to do everything all at once and not constantly be upgrading the car after it was put together. Here’s a list of what I have for the car and what I will be doing do it.
1990 ACURA INTEGRA
97 Spec JDM B18C type r spec engine and LSD TRANS
ALL IN FAB B series black chrome intake manifold
ALL IN FAB 4" to 3" transition velocity stack intake
BLOX 70MM TB
DOWNSTAR oil cap
DOWNSTAR engine hardware, valve cover hardware, trans hardware, and mount hardware.
Hasport mounts
CJ’s tuck harness with tefzel wire RAYCHEM DR-25 sleeved
DOWNSTAR boltless booster delete
DOWNSTAR cam seal
DOWNSTAR vtec solenoid cover
Powder coated Valve cover
WILWOOD brake MC with downstar cap
Hush performance hydro conversion
P28 ECU With Neptune demon unit installed by Dave Blundell
PLM V2 header
eBay 2.5" exhaust
ALL IN FAB water neck and tstat housings with VW tucked radiator, braided lines and -16 fittings
Wedssport 17"x7 TC-005 wheels
Muteki lug nuts
Fully shaved engine bay
Tokico blue shocks with skunk2 sleeves
Tucked fuel lines with braided line running all the way from the tank.
That might be all, I could be forgetting something.
I am hoping to get the engine put in this weekend or at least get off to a good start. This car was previously owned by a good friend of mine and member on here, preludewillie. He is responsible for the suspension and how overall clean the car and bay were when I bought it. For now I’ll leave you with a few pics, updates coming soon!
Awesome! This car was a huge favorite of mine back when preludewillie had it. Glad to see it still together and looking good! Good luck with the build!
Thanks guys. Hopefully I’ll make quite a bit more progress this weekend. Might get some stuff done this week also we will see. Idk why the color looks different it’s supposed to be the OEM paint? Maybe it’s just the lighting.
Oh dear lordy, that motor is looking mint!
Can I ask what you used to respray your block (cleaning methods if it was a DIY?)
I just purchased another motor as my block decided to have holes blown through it…wanna tidy up the new motor

Very amazing work! will keep following![/QUOTE]
Cleaning method was a wire brush with simple green and carb cleaner then des pray was done with cast aluminum engine paint from autozone.
Haven’t made tons of progress lately. Been busy, lazy, lack of help and waiting on parts. Luckily I’m in no rush! I did finally get my intake tube and manifold in from All in Fab. Just ordered the water neck and thermostat housing from him earlier this week so it should come soon. Here’s just a few pictures I took of the parts I received. Trying to decide what to do with my fuel rail set up.
Much better way of thinking about it! Lol. I’m happy with it that’s for sure. I know it’ll all be worth it in the end. I had my eye on this car the whole time preludewillie had it never thought I’d get him to sell it to me but I eventually did. Now I’m being really picky to make sure everything is exactly how I want it.
So I still haven’t got it put together yet but I have managed to get some more parts.
I have a Hondata thermal intake manifold gasket
A thermal throttle body gasket
And this week I have ordered a ICB shift knob, CTR N1 Crank pulley, a golden eagle fuel rail, and a Nardi Classic steering wheel. Still trying to decide on a hub but I believe I am going to go with the checkerd sports hub.
Also, here is a picture of my ALL IN FAB water neck and thermostat housing!
