[JITB]

wheres my C4..

[TopNotchEG9]

Nice...

[1989_crx_si]

Great job so far. I was going to suggest paint job but you already did yourself.

[toxxxic]

Great job so far. I was going to suggest paint job but you already did yourself.

It needs a bit of body work -- its got about a million & a half dings from people opening their doors into it for 17 years :(, and that's the only thing thats been holding me back from paint.

[dallasb84]

20 w 50 in january???? tick much? or just hiding some rod knock

[toxxxic]

20 w 50 in january???? tick much? or just hiding some rod knock

nope! i just like running thick ass oil ... i mean the car has over 200k on it.

[dallasb84]

time to throw a b series in there

[toxxxic]

time to throw a b series in there

eh. until i boost the d series and blow it up, a b series can wait. this motor is more than good to me :)

[dallasb84]

my d16y8 lasted till 212k, she started rod knockin...... shit.. it knocked for about 6-8 months before i took it out.

now i got a fully built and boosted b18

[toxxxic]

my d16y8 lasted till 212k, she started rod knockin...... shit.. it knocked for about 6-8 months before i took it out.

now i got a fully built and boosted b18

i baby the hell out of it, so i don't expect it to give me any problems any time soon :)

but IF & WHEN it does, i'll start peicing together my j32a2 swap.

[dallasb84]

im assuming thats a v6..... tl? motor?

[toxxxic]

yes. TL type S

[dallasb84]

lol u r crazy

[toxxxic]

nahhh!

[ej_one]

they are faster then a k and half the price

[dallasb84]

thats just a badass swap imo.... i never jumped on the k series bandwagon... tbh

youd have to get the 6 speed too.....

[ej_one]

thats just a badass swap imo.... i never jumped on the k series bandwagon... tbh

youd have to get the 6 speed too.....
with lsd

[toxxxic]

yeah the tranny is the most expensive part of the entire swap.

a 6 speed lsd tranny is anywhere from 1200-1800 bucks :(

[ej_one]

but you will be faster then dylan. lol

[dallasb84]

with lsd

shrooms r better



god damn thats alot of dough............. :(

thats type r money right there.... how much would a jdm swap run

[JITB]

found the C4...time to blow this bitch up!

[toxxxic]

but HPC has j32a2 motors for around 500-700 bucks.

tranny anywhere from 1200-1800;

then the mounts and axles run about 800-1000 for all of it from hasport

then the hybrid racing shift box is 400

then idk where the hell to find a swap header for that shit

ecu misc parts etc etc ... wiring harness from chase would be 1700 ish lol

of course, that's the way i'd do it -- there are cheaper ways to go.

[ej_one]

you can get the complete swap with lsd tranny for 3500 on hmotors

[ej_one]

[dallasb84]

hey ej.....

did those je pistons i got from you slap alot >?

[toxxxic]

you can get the complete swap with lsd tranny for 3500 on hmotors

yeah but that 3500 doesnt include mounts & axles.

or shifter box. or other little things. i think you have to get an immobilizer for it too?

[ej_one]

hey ej.....

did those je pistons i got from you slap alot >?
no

[toxxxic]

zack we need to find jobs. or a life. i'm going to bed. you should do the same hahaha.

[EJ_Allmota]

great so far ma.. Its one of the standout Sols on here.. definitely get it painted but idk about that J32 swap.. Im not into the whole motor sticking out of the hood idea, thats some muscle car shit to me.. Plus youd have to raised your car up a bit for ground clearance.. Good luck with the build though, im sure it will be nice eitherway.. :goodjob:

[quickdodge®]

It had a baaad revving problem, leaky ass targa top seals, the speakers were all blown, and the brakes were a suicide wish.



The first thing I did was paint the valve cover pink & white.

Talk about having your priorities out of whack. Later, QD.

[DustnU]

Nice build thead, looks good so far love the stance!!

[civic gsr]

looks nice keep us updated..

[Brian*]

Sic car, but looked the best with the Nippon wheels

[Jecht]

If your D series dies, why not just replace it and boost it? Its more performance for your money.

On another note, I actually like your car. Which is uncommon to hear from me since I'm not exactly a fan of Hondas.

[Genji-Sama]

Oooh, sick. I like the polished wheels best, IMO. Very clean car, none the less

[CBEeng.]

looking good. im going to spray one tomorrow

[Nemesis]

The car was perfect when it looked like this

http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/21/l_158098db741f497aa85c31cf6305b54c.jpg

[swollix]

What a piece. Both the car and the owner. Not a dime piece either, so don't get that idea.

[csmiths]

I would never do a j swap. I'd just do a boosted d and make the same power with half the weight. And way less hassle.

[The Creeper]

Wreck the thing off a cliff and get a new car. Now that is a project

[Dwisforme05]

those polished te37s looked incredible on there. some polished slips would look sick too.

clean car none the less, good work.

[LENG-EG6]

BOOSTED "D" IS A WASTE!!!!!!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY A GO WITH THE "J" SWAP

[LENG-EG6]

I would never do a j swap. I'd just do a boosted d and make the same power with half the weight. And way less hassle.

DIFFERENT KIND OF POWER BUDDY.......:thinking:

[swollix]

DIFFERENT KIND OF POWER BUDDY.......:thinking:

You all drive Hondas, I am gonna go ahead and say none of you know what power is. :lmfao:

[The Creeper]

You all drive Hondas, I am gonna go ahead and say none of you know what power is. :lmfao:

You know whats up.:cheers:

[Evil Goat]

they are faster then a k and half the price

and twice the weight...i lol at people wanting to do j swaps in civics

all that bullshit for 200hp when you can boost your d-series for less and rape ass

[Evil Goat]

BOOSTED "D" IS A WASTE!!!!!!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY A GO WITH THE "J" SWAP

its obvious you're an idiot...JJ went 11.10@130mph on a bosted d with a stock block with some parts laying around the shop...hardly a waste, and no jswapped turd's gonna touch that

[J-ROCK]

its obvious you're an idiot...JJ went 11.10@130mph on a bosted d with a stock block with some parts laying around the shop...hardly a waste, and no jswapped turd's gonna touch that

very true! didnt he also have full interior in the car as well?

[toxxxic]

if you people havent noticed, i dont give a shit about going fast.

I'd choose the J swap over a boosted D series if money wasnt an option simply because very few people do it, and cheap out and go with the boosted b or d series.

if no one has noticed i like being different yet, you all are blind :)

Leng's with me! :)

[toxxxic]

Talk about having your priorities out of whack. Later, QD.

LOL, the first thing I did that i took pictures of, tard :P

I got new brake pads and speakers the day after I got it :D

[LENG-EG6]

You all drive Hondas, I am gonna go ahead and say none of you know what power is. :lmfao:

a stock "j" swap will walk all over that vette home boy:crazy:

i say go for it! ready to see whats in store for this car next!:goodjob:

no........obvious you're an idiot cause i was saying all motor power is instant power and boost is not.......thats what i meant by different power.....and a car that makes 300 wheel all motor will always kill a turbo that makes 300 wheel....:2up: mr know it all

[LENG-EG6]

any ways back to the build thread...........subscribe

[toxxxic]

no........obvious you're an idiot cause i was saying all motor power is instant power and boost is not.......thats what i meant by different power.....and a car that makes 300 wheel all motor will always kill a turbo that makes 300 wheel....:2up: mr know it all

yeah sheesh! and how long is a damn d series making 300 hp going to last? a day? a week? LOL

the most i've seen a stock d series make is like 230 ish... and that's on 11-12 pounds, which is MUCH higher than i'd feel safe with.

a j32a2 is 260hp & 232 torque. tell me what STOCK d series with a turbo kit makes that ??

[MidLifeCrisis]

I'm not getting into this shit slinging war as both ideas (boosted D and J series) have thir good points. The J swap is goofy as fuck with the horrible fitment, but they do 2 things: Make a civic sound mean, and make a civic MOVE! You will soon see bolt on J swapped civics hitting 11s with good tuning. not to mention all the turbo ones popping up now, and the fact nitrous is only one WOT tap away.

[cwood1388]

Nice build!

lol, sorry to thread jack toxxxic, but you said:


so since i plan on keeping this damn thing, i figured i'd go ahead and start a build thread to show the progress & all that good stuff.

so i figure, hey why not, lol

[toxxxic]

hahaha! yeah i know. apparently there are nice del sols on here for 2500 ??

where? i'd like to buy another one if that's the case.

Cheapest one I found was 3900.

Oh, the SHELL is 3000... and that shell is sooo much nicer and luxurious than mine. :)

[ATLTSX]

I def like the new look.

[toxxxic]

thanks homie :)

[5speed]

nope! i just like running thick ass oil ... i mean the car has over 200k on it.
Boost an engine with that many miles? It doesn't matter how much you baby it. I think you know better than that.

[toxxxic]

POOR DEL SOL! :(

last night, i tried driving up my driveway, FAILED -- i slid backwards down the whole thing :( Luckily I slid off the driveway on the left side instead of the right, because if I would have slid off the right side I would have ended up in the creek :( The exhaust got hung up on the driveway, and the wheels were just spinning in the ice, so I left it there overnight.... This morning my dad helped me push it out :)

[JDMGRNAV6]

yeah the tranny is the most expensive part of the entire swap.

a 6 speed lsd tranny is anywhere from 1200-1800 bucks :(


i paid 1100 for mine and drove to north carolina to get it....

j series motors are the shit, and so was my six speed...

damn i miss it

I've never seen the thing before on there. I have always despised those things, hah! Later, QD.

LOL. My dad said to me last night after it got hung up on the exhaust on the driveway and wouldn't move: "You know I think the most useful thing on that dumb car is that stupid tow hook" ....

I understand that, lolol. I still like your car.

But, to argue (since I have to). your factory tow hook would have worked just as well.

+97. Later, QD.

I'm drift king, OKAY? Shit.

[.:Stirfry:.]

me want your wheels!

[Red_EJ1]

but HPC has j32a2 motors for around 500-700 bucks.

tranny anywhere from 1200-1800;

then the mounts and axles run about 800-1000 for all of it from hasport

then the hybrid racing shift box is 400

then idk where the hell to find a swap header for that shit

ecu misc parts etc etc ... wiring harness from chase would be 1700 ish lol

of course, that's the way i'd do it -- there are cheaper ways to go.


would not use hpc.. imo they suck. i called and asked them if they had a d15b and the guy told me they did so i told him i would pick it up the next day. the next morning i call to make sure they have it and the guy assures me they do. i then drive an hour and 1/2. not only did they not have a d15b all they had was the oh so awesome d15z so with no choice but to buy because i had school in the fall, so i did i put all new parts on the motor, all seals new water and oil pump all gaskets 450 worth of parts. put it in and it had no comp, call um up and the guy tells me its impossible to have no comp on all 4 cylinders, i tell the guy im fucking lookin at the comp test then the mother fucker gets rude, so i give the mother fucker a piece of my mind then the guy has the balls to tell me im being unprofessional, then hes says hang on i look up the motor to see how long they had it and where in came from ect... then hes drops the bomb, the mother fuckers tell me the motor has been on the shelf for 9 years open and all, so the i asked the mother fucker who was unprofessional now... any who i all most dint get my money back. then to top it off when i go to take the motor back and meet this jackass i had speaked to on the phone he wants to give me this big speech about how i went about it the wrong way. so use them dont use them just seems like there just tryin make a quick buck witch is fine when you sell quality parts, but when a motor has sat on a shelf for 9 years, you would think they would tell you that shit, oh and in case your wondering why would it matter if it sat on a shelf for 9 years, after so long a motor not covered with no intake mani or exhaust mani moisture will get in the cylinder walls and rust the rings. glad i could finally put that out for the world. so imo fuck hpc

That would make me want to be violent and not much makes me that mad. They sound very unprofessional, and I don't think I would ever go them for anything. I am gonna remember that business name.

lUCAS and 20-50w in sub 40 degree temps= stupid

LUCAS is the ABSOLUTE WORST thing you can run in any engine. It actually makes your oil sludge and it will cause serious main and rod bearing damage due to lack of oil distribution.

20-50, thats not TERRIBLE if you park your car inside, but if its outside on days like today, good luck

Change your oil tomorrow if you hope to have that motor last another 50k

THIS IS TOXXXIC. FORGOT TO LOG IN TO MY NAME.

no offense but if you wanted to buy a JDM D15B, why wouldn't you have called Best Japanese? :thinking: Honda Parts Connection is a SALVAGE YARD that sells USED parts from WRECKED cars. ie - used. you have NO IDEA what the owner put that car through, and what the fuck is a d15z anyway? I've dealt with HPC many times, and have not had any problems.

Nope lol Never used it or seen anyone use it.

Molasses? Damn! I ran 5W 30 for the winter in my Civic, and that worked pretty good for my engine that had 219xxx miles.

[Vteckidd]

Put saw dust in your transmission when it grinds too lol

Lucas causes the oil to sludge up, makes oil pump cavatate etc

it's fine on big block LOW rpm motors but on hondas it's death . There was a guy on ht that did a test on it it was pretty horrifying. Actually next time you go to autozone ten that little wheel they have on display turn it fast watch what happens to the oil. Watch how it sludges up and leaves the gears

If I would have known of best Japanese I would have used them but I never heard of them before now. It doesn't matter where I got the motor you would think a business wouldn't sell a motor that set on a shelf for 9 years regardless of who its from. For your info a D15Z1 is out of the Economy Vtec hatch, and as far as useing someone else your the person that just said they have a motor for so much when you just tried to down me on buying a motor from them when it was out of a wrecked car... etc... when they should check the motors more thoroughly before they try selling them. Just saying...ain't trying to start no shit with you.

[JuStCrUzIn]

would not use hpc.. imo they suck. fuck hpc


i went to hpc, and nad. long story short i went to hpc to get the motor cus they beat nad's price. the guy said they had the motor pulled. i waited for three hours when they finally brought the motor (after i saw a truck come through the back gate with a honda single cam in it) and as im looking at it there was a nad warranty stamp on the head... almost forgot i was trying to get a d16z6 and the motor from nad was a d15b. no complaints on that....

anyways i like the whip and ide go with the j swap.

[404 THE DC4]
