thedb63's da build thread

my friend he said it didnt go in reverse when you swap the wires…well i took it home and it does …i dont know what he did but it works fine…

i sold my chevy malibu!!! now i need a beater acura/honda for under $1000 anybody have anything?

got your email today. All i can say is WTF? not your fault by any means. I will call you later today or tomorrow as i’ve been crazy busy the past few days. Thanks for the heads up though.

thank you for understanding that im not trying to screw you over anything but it just sucks that they gave me a box full of nothingness and still delivered it to me…lol i couldnt believe it…

on a side not this is my new daily driver… a 92 honda prelude si i got it real cheap because it didnt run but it came with two other extra engines so hopefully one of them work…
i ended up getting a prelude si with a blown h23 block but i got a f22 accord vtec sohc engine with it and another h23 engine so i mad out like a bandit…ihere is a pic

finally got the prelude running and also have the teg running again go the slim fan installed all the ugly ground wires are gone and replace with ones made of purple stereo wire…i will get pictures eventually when i repaint my valve cover because it kinda got all scratched up after pulling the engine to get a seal replaced…oh well i will post pics when its done…been driving it for 3 days now and got about 140 miles on it… so far so good…im pretty happy with it so far

im helping a buddy do a similar swap but into a 2nd gen lude. that thing is going to be a beast!

I like how the fuel setup came out, looks like a perfect fit:up:

got the whit hood on now…its not perfect but will do…and my friend took a rolling shot it was his first time so i will get some better ones down the road

some pics while I have been in Pittsburgh this week for school

here is a couple better pics with my digital camera whish still isnt great but better than the iphone

so i ran into a problem with the engine… it started to over heat and tried everything except the headgasket…ended up being the headgasket…went to pull the head and realized the #10 bolt in the tightening sequence was super loose i was like that has to be the problem…no threads came up with the head bolt…but when i took the head off i could see the threads in the block not attached to the block anymore :frowning: anyways long story short i was going to helicoil the block but couldnt because of the dowel pin goes there…and found out why it stripped…because i had b16 headbolts in…note to all you guys doing hybrid engine MAKE SURE TO USE THE HEADBOLTS FOR THE APPROPRIATE BLOCK!.. cant stress that enough… the b16 ones are like a 1/2" shorter than the gsr/type r ones… anyways there was enough thread still in there that i was able to clean the threads back up and use the b18c headbolts…its up and running again thank god!!! sorry for the long rant…

SICK MAN! im doing a 91 integra GS RHD :)…

nice good luck hope it turns out well!

bumpppppp for my bros old da . looks good bro i love the tuck . i have a rhd da xsi and i wanna tuck mine and brake tuck .

hey would you happen to know the part number of the purple bolts you got in your engine bay?

What process did you take to paint the tranny. Did you just have to hot tank it and did you use the same aluma blast on the block also looks really good.

cant remeber they are from fastenal

wire wheeled it then alumiblast

newest part i got for the teg jg header made by edelbrock…sorry i havent updated at all in a while but ive just been enjoying driving it before i get it painted and set it back up on jack stands again for another winter

That looks WAY better then the half rusted POS DC header I got. What size collector it got?

2.5" im guessing
