GENERAL General G2/G2IC Discussion

Current condition of car as of April 2010:

This thread is going to mark my progress with my 1992 Acura Integra LS. I am doing a complete restoration of the car, inside and out, to the best of my ability, as I am doing 99% of the work myself (paint, help, etc. account for what I don’t do). This thing won’t be slapped together in a few weeks, or even months. There is no time frame and I have no set budget in mind. This is my first car, and was my brother’s, so I wanna do everything right and make it virtually a new car. So this is gonna be a slow build, with progress determined by the amount of time I get to work on the car, funds, school, and sorta my social life, just a little bit. I’m posting it here as motivation for myself to keep updates constant and for any info/questions I need, but I’m hoping it’s a motivation to others as well. Enjoy yo!

History of the car:
-Used to be my brother’s back in the 90s
-Has been through a number of motor swaps (used to be auto)
-Was beat up a bit when he owned it
-Gave it to me in April 2009
-Started working on it in June
-B20Vtec that was in the car took a shit, got a B16A
-Still working on it

This was in summer 09

This was the build list from summer 09. It’s just the basics:

General overview of what I’m going for:

-Wire tuck
-Suspension setup for track (coilovers, camber, chassis reinforcement). I’m making this car my weekend warrior.
-Color scheme of red and gold/bronze, with some blue accents
-Stock B16A with I/H/E

Here’s when I first got her and what I’ve done since then:

Thumbs up. Good setup

3

thanks bro

4

nice job on dericing that thing man was it ugly

5

still has a ways to go with the de-ricing, but it is moving right along.

keep it up :up: should be a nice DA in no time.

6

Looking good. If they are original stanley clear sidemarkers they are probably off a jdm s2k seeing as how the sidemarkers from our integras and s2ks are the same. You can probably make some money off them so don’t throw them away!

7

ohhh thanks man! i’ve always wondered why they were clear

8

nice motor. it looks like that wing is going to be a bitch cuz it goes all the way to the qtr panel. gl dericing it

9

yeah i’ve realized that so i’m just gonna keep it. i don’t think it looks too bad and i don’t want to try to take it off. i have the stock though just in case

10

what kind of front upper strut bar is that in there?

11

^ tenzo r

12

update: car may have rod knock :frowning: i did a valve adjustment today; there was still a ticking noise that rose w/ rpms and high idle. and i still can’t find a bumper and hood!

edit*-pics:

my fender is gross haha. it’s from them damn sides

custom exhaust cut-out on right side. my failed attempt:

my friend’s successful attempt:

13

no one cares? :frowning:

anyways, this guy from a local car forum is selling a b16 swap for $1200. my motor has rod knock so i’m getting it :werd: i’m gonna rebuild the b20v, though, and drop it back in once its done

just taking off some stuff while i had some time in preparation for pulling the motor:

14

looks good bud keep up the good work gotta love people who save g2’s

15

nice, its a step in the right direction. :rockon:

16

Nice! Great job!

How come you put the exhaust on the pass side?

17

Thanks a lot guys

Integ-four, when my brother had the car, he got a custom exhaust. So that bend where the muffler is on the stock is cut out and it’s just straight through

18

Got some updates! I got the B16 today for $1300. Came with P28 ecu, oil catch can, distributor, and a shitty ass DC Sports header. Should be puling the b20v soon and dropping this in. Then on with the rebuild :rockon:

I got the B16 from a local guy who was going to do a project but didn’t have time. Some details on the motor:
-rebuilt with stock internals. Zero miles when I got it!
-ITR intake manifold
-obd1 conversion

19

Another DA saved from the pits of ricer hell :bowdown:

looks like a solid motor, I hope it runs a well as it looks :up:

20

haha yeah i’m trying my best :bowthank:

the guy who rebuilt the motor did a build thread on it and from what i saw, it’s pretty solid. here’s the link actually: http://www.nyspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62122 :up:
