92 Civic Hatch Complete Rebuild Motor Interior ECT.

[sound=vibration 34]

I knew you would chime in.

 

I like all the build pis!

 

How much power at the wheels are you expecting ?

I am shooting for 200hp as I didn't go with forged internals and would bend rods toward 250hp. Not to mention this is just my get me by engine. I have a H22A out of a Prelude with an LSD trans that I will be building over the next year that will later take its place. I will also be using the same turbo on it and be shooting for a high horsepower goal. At 200hp it will also be an awesome daily driver and should put me at low 13s or really high 12s on the 1/4.

I have a Cannon Xsi I love documenting everything I do to my car so I end up with a ton of pictures .

Looks great!

Although its a shame to do all that work and use a fram filter.

Just a mock up I had laying in the garage. K/N will be going on. Its not even tightened down to be honest. I just needed something in place to Aid in my engine harness tuck and for some reason I have about 7 unused fram and stp filters. Not to sure where they came from.

 

On a side note I am uploading pics, I started my Brake line tuck. WOOOOT

[sound=vibration 34]

Ok here is an update. Brake line tuck is almost done. It is a pain in the ass! I will try to finish that today as well as assembling the engine and then Thursday after work try to set her back in her final resting spot.

 

Pulled out the clutch lines

.

Started the line going through the driver fender instead of it running across the firewall and through the hole bay.

Through the fender this is where I started bending to go through the core support.

Ran it along the frame rail and to the front of the car.

Behind the headlight.

.

Through the front of the core support, here the is a proportioning valve.

Went all the way through and around the reservoir bracket.

Test fit with my ugly ass radiator..... Don't worry I have a new one to replace this ugly thing.

Another angle.

Cut a whole in the grommet to fit the new line.

MMMMM Yummy.

This is after I pulled all the brake lines. I have since ran two of the 6 although it wont look much different then it does here as everything is tucked behind the firewall with the proportioning valve on the passenger side. It is out of the passengers leg reach and should be no problem.

Got this beauty back from the machine shop!

She got a mill. Valve job, Cleaning, and valve seals done.!

Lovely.!

Oem Goodness here. All new head bolts!

Yummy.

MMMM. Head gasket love.

All ready to go.

Bottom of the head.

Head is torqued down cam set in place with a new cam seal.

Tore the manifold apart and cleaned it inside and out. TB, all the runners and lines. for brake in I will run these injectors but will be switching to 450cc injectors and a aftermarket fuel rail and pressure regulator when turbo goes on.

Lubrication is key

More lube. Almost looks like were getting ready for some anal action. LOL

All together just need to set the valve lash.

Slapped on the Vtec solenoid and my freshly painted intake manifold.

Timing is set and ready to put the covers on as well as the crank pulley.!

My valve cover will be polished out and I will get another one that I will be painting Breast cancer awareness pink with "I <3 Boobies across the front.

Almost there. Got to bolt up the Tstat housing. Already put the Distributor on just not pictured. Slap on the clutch and flywheel, clean up the trans and bolt that sucker on and in she goes.!

 

 

I picked this gem up off of a friend for a steal. He needed cash, just needs some clean up.

Blackworks Radiator all aluminum, Silicone hoses, and a Slim fan should go well in the bay. Again I need to clean it up and the hoses will eventually be changed to Pink silicone hoses.

[grayta 23]

Can't wait to see the new updates/pics!  Everything is looking great so far!

[sound=vibration 34]

Ok here we go I finally sat down to upload some pics here for an update. Hope you guys enjoy. Other things planned for this week are a alarm and maybe finish up the interior. If all goes well I will be installing my stereo next week!

 

If there is any Alternator guys out there that want to get on board with this pm me a price on a H.O. alt for 92 Honda civic!!!

 

Ok here we go.!!

 

Abra ca dabra brake lines be gone!!!

Getting lost in tucking the engine harness

Wiring up the injectors!

Got bored with the wiring so I painted and bolted on my headers. DC 4-2-1s with a carb stamp!

Yummy! Painted the timing cover gloss black!

Ok back to lame ass wiring again!

Wait time for some more wiring.

For some reason I feel like I have already mentioned wiring.!

Hmm maybe a little more wiring.

Still not finished with the wiring!!!

This is were I got fed up with the wiring and we are going to fast forward a few days!!!!!

 

BAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

She's in also got a new slave cylinder, new clutch master cylinder and if I didn't mention it earlier brake master cylinder....

Side shot!

Another angle

Notice the slim fan here....

I really hate my intake but it will do for now... Its getting turbo charged so it will disappear soon enough.

Just another one...

I needed to get away from the engine bay. I was going nuts with all my time and effort going into and still having so much more to do...!

Onto the interior it was!

Dirtiness everywhere!!!

Here you can see the back half of my interior is blue. I already switched the dash, door panels, and center console to black so it was time for the rear half...

So I tore out the back seats, and the back tailgate cover.

As you can see these panels were pretty beat up.

Here are the black panels. They are not perfect but way better than what was in there. When I come across mint ones I will switch them out again.

The other side.

Tail gate cover and all the misc. little covers too. That's hard to find on hatch backs here in Phoenix for some odd reason.

Cleaned and armoralled up.

See now it matches.... This was when I noticed part of my counsel is blue! you can only see it in pics lol... Time to search for a black one.

Started cleaning up the front. Here is my thrashed ass rear seat that is going to be ditched for some leather seats when I finaly get my hands on some. The only ones are 1.5 hours away at the moment.

Back seats in and tailgate shut.

One of daddies babies.

A new Steering wheel and short locking hub are to come shortly. I hate my current setup but it was all I could afford back when I got it.

My SI seats that a due for a shampooing.

Lol she said she was going to the store... "Hey bring me back a soda will ya!"

So started with a stock insert for the back.

Wrapped it up nicely to match the front!

MMMMM!

In she goes!

Here is what it looks like from the side. I also did the other side I just don't have pics at the moment.

I was bleeding the brakes so I took a quick picture of the rear suspension setup. Currently I am running skunk2s with tockico blue shocks adjustable camber kits up top on a full GSR rear Integra disc brake setup!

Shitty photo but out for my first cruise 0 miles on the engine at this point. I currently have about 450 on it now. She has some power for a single cam. easily hit 90 before the end of an on ramp shifting and 5krpms. My redline is 7.5krpms so there is a lot more locked away. I have yet to hit my Vtec crossover which I have my computer setup to engage at 5.5krpms.

 

 

Now this next picture was a proud moment for myself. ABC 15 new decided to come out and shoot some footage of the car! They loved the breast cancer theme and thought it was crazy a 21 guy was driving around with a Pink engine bay and what not. The car is no were near don't but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to have something I have built with my own two hands broadcasted on T.V.

 

I am awaiting a copy of the footage when I get it I will be sure to post it.

 

Crappy Ipod pics.

 

Enjoy all and tune in for updates. The car will be headed out to shows here in AZ soon.

Thanks got blood sweat and tears into this thing! I cant wait to finish it. I maybe putting off the turbo setup for a bit I am looking to buy me a truck so I can just go nuts with this thing! If I get the truck this is getting caged and going to try to squeeze in 4 tens with the back seats folded down.

 

We will see.

[sound=vibration 34]

 

My new overflow bottle I had fabbed up at work! Excuse everything its dirty from working on it.

[Notorious97200 339]

Fantastic work !

[sound=vibration 34]

I wrecked the hatch a few months back so back to work again! Here I am grinding off the front of the core support!

I didn't take many pictures as I was really upset having to rebuild the front end for a stupid mistake however this is the end results Oem parts used all welded in by myself I think I did decent for my first Core support swap.

What it looked like after the wreck.
