**The official DB1 thread! pictures, advice, tips, etc..! (4dr's part 4!)**

B20’s FTW

so who thinks this will buff out?

since my b20 went bye bye it was replaced with this…

valve cover is sooooo ugly… omg

4sd4dr: I think with the right compound and some buffing skills that block should be good! lol Looks like it hurt. Glad to see you got another motor and you will be up and running.

mdt115: I can’t wait to see some the finished project.

Redline: What up Ralfy, are you going to make it up to the Orlando meet?

frozenrice…Thanks man. All is still great with the Turbo. Thank the lord that I don’t have to worry about the engine FREEZING…Wow, that is like an all time worry for like half the year. Talk about covering the Teg up with a heated car cover nightly…LOL

How did that happen to your B20?

db1love…I am going to try for sure. You know me, always wanting to DRIVE my Teg anywhere. but is it the Meet on November 19th?

JB WELD…

No vtec for me here - I thought about it, but I didn’t want to have to do any OBD conversions. I’m pretty much doing this rebuild solo with little help from anybody other than the internet. Forums are the worst place to ask questions (even G2IC) so it’s just one less thing to have to worry about.
It’s a bit misleading, but it’s just a b18a. The guy I bought the motor off of gave me the B20 cover when I noticed that the standard b18a cover had a major crack in it.

wow im must have been high or something =x…i coulda sworn u were puting a gsr inthere…

well i my new db1 needs a lil bit of bodywork. but its got a good heart. B18C jo. ill post some pics when i get it on the road…

obd conversion isnt that hard man. i bought from a local member vtec4dr his obd0 harness whcih was converted to obd1 (it has RC injectors clips for obd1 as well), the obd0-1 ecu jumper harness, chipped p28 (gsr maps for my ‘stock’ lsvtec), obd1 4 wire o2, obd1 injectors and lastly a obd1 b16 distributor. its all basically plug n play…

i was trying to avoid converting as well… but what the hell its better for tuning in the long run anyway.

well, i’ve had my car back for the second day now but haven’t had time to shoot some proper pictures… but here are some shots of the finished product…

and here’s a shot of the painted grill :stuck_out_tongue:

super clean… I’ll miss the spoiler :salute:

Yeah, you know what, MDT its like there is something missing without your spoiler…Looks good, but nekkid.

wow simply amazing…im so jelly right now lol

I had a hard time trying to decide whether to keep the spoiler or not and decided against it. Once I come across a vigor wing, then I will definitely put one on again. :slight_smile:

I might just pick up the m3 style lip spoiler…i dunno…

killateg: post some pics of your car dude… i want to see it (plus you can do a whole write up from rags to riches in the future)…

hmmm i guess ill post some.

even though ive been really sick for the past 4 days and havent even touched the car…i got it last week in halloween night lol…

the engine bay when i got it … yuckkkk


a couple of hours into it.



then i decided the wire tuck the driver side.


yeah thats a dirty valve cover lol…
and here are some pics of the shitty rest of car


i know its just a hunk of junk but hey im working on it.

Hey, at least we both know that your db1 is in good hands. You said your whip is horizon grey… but it looks like a gold…??

Looks like

YR-89M Honey Beige Metallic

coughrespraycough:whisper: :whisper:

Found a Pic that was yahoo’d.
Anyone know what this rear lip or bumper is?

oh man, mdt car came out sick! and killateg, looks like the car will be okay :slight_smile:

sorry if this sounds stupid but did Honda/Acura ever make a GSR 4-door for the 90-93 integra?

Thought you might be interested, unfortunately I suck at Japanese, I tried ot translate the site at one point, but got tired of trying to translate the text in the pictures.

Oh ya, I want the guy’s hood. Not sure what the bump is for, but it just looks cool.
