Hatch looks good man, glad you posted up.

[DeeAOne]

you wouldnt happen to live in warner robins would you? both of those cars look very familiar.

[JBrakeS2K]

thanks rev, appreciate all of your help recently. and yeah i stay in warner robins aswell

[JDMJAYDC2]

sheesh not ANOTHER ZC swap lol good to see you found our lil spot

[Revmaynard]

Per me. You're welcome. lolz

[JBrakeS2K]

Hey, i am still trying on the swap. I am a noob to civic scene. Ive only helped my buddy do a minime swap which turned out to be a failure. I would keep the d15b2 in there if the compression wasnt 80psi on the first cylinder, 110 on the second and like 200 on 3+4.. damn car gets 42mpg still. Trying to go cheap, but upgrade a little. I am not having much luck in doing so tho, kinda hard to find a cheap dohc zc

[JDMJAYDC2]

i might have a hookup on a rover motor :ninja:

and if you want to stay cheap you can always do a newer d series motor like a d16z6

[JBrakeS2K]

yeah i know.. 137hp sounds tempting though.. cheapest ive found is 785$ shipped

[JDMJAYDC2]

i can do alittle better than that and you dont need shipping just a truck or be like me and put it in the back of your hatch pm me when your READY to buy and ill see what i can do for you i can get you a stock replacement or a newer d series or the rover motor

[EvasiveEF9]

1) welcome
2) What color is that! OMG!
3) Just re-ring it...replace gaskets and bearings

[JDMJAYDC2]

^^^ dont listen to him we have to let him post in here due to affirmative action

[JBrakeS2K]

haha..
1)=thanks
2) its like a dark metallic blue.. it was baby blue originally(cheap but good paintjob) dunno if that omg was good or bad?
3)=its been like this for awhile i bet the cylinder walls are scored to hell.. i dont want to get it bored..and it would prolly be cheaper and more beneficial to run a zc

rings/time/hone/bearings/gaskets < engine, ecu, wire-work

And the "<" is a less than. not "ownage"

[JBrakeS2K]

correct except ive already wired the mpfi si intake in.. so i am just going to hook that directly up to the block. thats the only hard part from what ive read, the rest is just plug and play really..

[JDMJAYDC2]

why re ring a stock motor they are a dime a dozen hell ppl give away full swaps lol hell i have given a way 2 point is the d15b in your car is a million years old swap it out for a newer d series and or the almighty zc replace the gaskets install and be happy

[BABY J]

I LOVE YOU!!!

THIS GUY SPEAKS THE TRUTH!!! DO IT ONCE, DO IT RIGHT!!!

People for some reason like dragging home 15 - 20 year old motors and calling it an UPgrade. SERIOUSLY --- just have your motor gone through (or rings at the minimum) so you don't have to you worry about it for another 200k miles.

If you do it right, you've got millions of miles. You don' know what the motor's been through prior to your ownership. I rebuilt mine and put it through absolute abuse. Drove it across the country. I'd got 7 or 8K miles before changing oil, I'd let the engine run hot, I let it run low as hell on oil. My motor was abused because I wanted to see what it would take. I know it was built right. And to date, it's still running perfectly fine for the guy I sold it to. I could trust it. A swap? 50/50.

[JBrakeS2K]

wtf? why would you do that? that doesnt make any sense! who in there right mind would have a motor rebuilt and then try to blow it up just to see how strong it is? wow...

[bigdare23]

Nice looking hatch and 2k!

[EvasiveEF9]

If you know your work, you want to test and see how good you are. I was damn good. :)

...and I was wanting a good excuse to but the B18 in...

[JDMJAYDC2]

im not expecting anyone to get a newer swap and just drop it in i got my motor from hmotors and still didnt drop it in i replaced every gasket and hose i could think of and she is running strong with no problems starts up on the first turn

You must have known a good mechanic. :ninja:

[cwhiteboy]

Welcome man. Nice S2k and hatch.

[bigdare23]

yeah me :D

[EvasiveEF9]

yeah me :D
Credit stealer.

I said good mechanic. Not JDM part-finder. Not JDM Mech. I said Mechanic. :tongue1:

[JBrakeS2K]

thanks everyone for the welcomes..

i plan on putting new gaskets in, along with hose, water pump, and everything i can do while its out. hopefully i can pick up a block for 2-400$. 785$ is going to take me awhile if no-one hits up my wtb thread or if your hookup falls through jdmjay...

GOOD MAN! Let us know if we can be of any help. Sadly, I can't do half the stuff I used to be able to offer, but I still know some people... :ninja:

[JDMJAYDC2]

my hookup is there when YOU are ready just lmk what you want and ill see what i can do for you

[JBrakeS2K]

i have access to a cherry picker, lift, and all that good stuff. i am just a little fresh on doin a swap, im not necessarily close to atlanta though, i am about an hour and a half south. i hope it goes well.. jdmjay.. like i said i dont want to spend anymore than 500$... i want a d16z6, d16a8, or the a9 zc. i would rather have the non-vtec blocks. i have no clue how to hook vtec up and the obd0-obd1 conversion. if you guys wanna help, i will def throw down for a case or two. No prob there.

[JDMJAYDC2]

you def came to the right place then we are all more than willing to help how far south are you close to columbus ga ???

[JBrakeS2K]

about 2 hours. i am in warner robins.

[JDMJAYDC2]

ah just looked it up on google your not too far from macon i see hmmm i will talk with my boy on monday and see what i can come up with although your budget is a bit small for a full swap ill try and work my magic and throw some ice cream to smooth it over a bit

[EvasiveEF9]

WTF? Hour and a half south of atlanta? Took me an hour and 15 at most to get from Marietta to Warner. I dated a girl that lives right off where they put that "new" exit it. I say "new" cuz I think it's like 2yrs old now or something like...

[JBrakeS2K]

I just want the block, no tranny. my 5spd has alot of mileage, but its still a champ. I think 500$ is fair. That allows 100-200$ for new replacement parts. Plus, i need a new clutch so i figured id throw that in while swapping. I appreciate it dude, seriously. Pretty cool of you guys to go through the trouble for some random noob guy. New exit? i dunno.. ive been here since 07. Exit 144 and 146? One of those is new?

LoL. That's what we do here in the EF Squad, bro...

Uh...I'm trying to remember. I used to always get off at the "we bare all" exit to head to her house, LoL. So whichever one is immediately south of it, that's the "new" one.

[JBrakeS2K]

I appreciate the help, seriously. HAHA yeah thats exit 146, thats the most nastiest truck stop ive ever seen. My wife and I went in there one time just to check it out and we nearly puked. It was a complete 180 situation.

[JDMJAYDC2]

we bare all huh *checks google* ah so you just need the block then huh hmmm i cant help you there then i can only get full motor swaps or just the motor your best bet would be to put up a wtb thread then and see what you come up with

[JBrakeS2K]

i will take a full swap if i can get it around 6-700$

[LoveGirl]

Nice hatch.
