H2B build - Warning - lots o pics

[Jenson]

Not sure if this should go here or car pics. This seems better as H2B is the best bang for the buck all motor swap. Its high time I put my build thread on here but I just recently started making good progress. Looks like Im going to miss the Oct 18 all motor IFO class race as I am lagging behind schedule.

A lil background on the logistics of the swap. I sold my B18B to a member on here (jdm>usdm) and my header and exaust (cant remeber their names) to help fund the project. So thanks to you guys!!!! I also partially traded my Rota RB's for the H22A that will power the car, all in all Im not coming out of pocket to much. I was using a freshly rebuilt gsr tranny with the B18B that will be attached to the H22. Currently searching for a spool and gsr gear set for a spare case I have. I am also making all of the H2B parts and mounts needed Big $$$ savings there. Hope to run high 12's NA on some 22" slicks (borrowed from a buddy)

Parts list/Money spent:
H22A1 (usdm 96 model 60K miles) - $400
GSR tranny (usdm 15K miles) - have
H2B kit - making it myself - tons of time spent designing this thing

The hatch:gutted, ugly, and beat up. Ive had this thing for ~9 years. Used to be red with a B18C1 - 150 shot when I first built it 9 years ago. This will be the cars 6th hart transplant. (2 B18C1's, D15Z1, D16Z6, B18B) This is its good side

Dissasembled the engine for BSE kit this weekend:


Tonight I'll be pressing in the plugs on the oil pump and girdle. Should be able to get the motor ready to bolt in by this weekend. I work about 50hours a week and drive 45 minutes to work (one way) so weekday stuff is sometimes tough to do.
