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
ACT xtreme PP and organic disc - have
Demon RTP/P28 - $375
Kiddracing H22 RMF header - making parts for Mr. Kidd to pay for it - top secret race parts
3" exaust with Spintech muffler - $100
Kaizenspeed BSE kit - $115
F20C pulley - need
Timinbelt - $40
Plug wires - $40
New Dizzy - $75
65mm TB - $100
Fuel rail/harness already modded with resistor box - $75
450cc injectors - $40
Traction bars - need but not required

So far thats $1320

On to some pics:

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



Modding the intake manifold: Start


Webbing cut away:




Welded up the back to port it:


Mostly ported:





Cut off the EGR crap and plugged:


Motor/tranny plate:


Halfshaft plate:



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.

[Sammich]

WOW THATS ALOT OF WORK...

[scttydb411]

that's some fab skills there. looks good. you planning on spraying this one? i know you like the juice.

[D3UC3S]

Super skills! GL with this.

[Starrfire]

Nice welding. 12's will be easy, and welcome to the h2b club.

[EJdm]

nice i have a buddy that ran 12.3...jdm h22, lsd gsr tranny, i/h/e, some other little bolt ons i cant remember n some real nice suspension...

[Jenson]

that's some fab skills there. looks good. you planning on spraying this one? i know you like the juice.

Im thinking 200 shot, 100 off the line and 100 in second! I'll try to win a race or 2 in the all motor class first though. Im already planning on Skunk2 Pro2's this winter. You also know I like to do things myself, hence the Demon RTP. As much as I wanted to let you tune it, I love tuning the Ls1 and learning the Neptune just seemed like to much fun.


12.3?!? From just bolt-ons? Thats prolly the quickest Ive heard of around here. I assume slicks and gutted? Im running K-sports right now, they should be up for the challenge I hope. I also have a set of skunk2 rear drag launch coils if the Ksports dont do it.


I had a bit of trouble trying to press in the plugs on the girdle last night since I was alone. Gotta get an extra set of hands to help me out tonight. Round+odd shape+no flat surface+flypress+me alone=crooked pressed in pins.

[gerardojdm]

Wow. Looking pretty good. GL with your built. Kepp us updated

[Da_unknown]

dam jenson, doing work huh. looks good

[Jenson]

Finally got some time to get back to my project. Petit and Seca made for a busy month.

Got the motor ready to go in the car, new timing belt, gaskets and seals, added drain plug to pan. I had to make some things like the drain plug, stud and 2 pivot pins for the manual tensioner since the guy I bought it from didnt include it. All these little things take up so much time in the long run.

Drain plug:


Motor with the Kaizenspeed kit installed and ready to run:


I also think Im ready to cut my driver side 3 hole mount:


This is the 4th different design I have done for it in the past 4 days.
I also finally found some 12x1.25x35 Flat head C'sink bolts and mostly finished my plate. Just have to find a tap now as I have every flavor of 14mm taps except that one. I also made the flywheel spacer, pretty generic so I didnt snap any pics.

That mount, the slave spacer, flywheel bolts, header-mod, and Alt bracket are all I lack.

[5spdfrk]

Did you weld the drain plug? Welds look real nice man!

[DustnU]

Nice build bro gonna run good I hope. There is a guy in Stockbridge runing H2B in a white hatch Ran 12.6 on spray!!! Goodluck

[GhostSTI]

looks good man! good luck getting it together

[B18c1Turboed]

Damm Jenson.I wish i worked where you work so i could make my own parts...
I called you on Sunday, i guess the number i got for you is bad now, so asain lady answered.....
I asked if she got rice and she hung up on me..Hope it wasnt your wife...hahahahaha

[Jenson]

Yea I welded in the drain plug.

Danny thats classic, although I have no idea why you have the wrong number cuz I swore we talked sometime this summer about that shifter. I'll pm you my number.

No offense, but if my H2B runs a 12.6 on spray, it'd better be on street tyres at 130mph. Thats just slow. I read the winner of the IFO commerce race (All motor class) was an H2B EF, ran 12.2's? Anyone from around here?

Also, I would like to sell a couple kits if anyone is interested. Not Im not going to make 100's of them, nor will I make a huge profit, and you wont see them on ebay. I want to make a small run of a few kits, for local's only. PM me for prices cuz its really cheap!

[silversol]

props on some sick fab skills!

[G.C]

dam your fabrication skills are amazing. subscribed!!

[Jenson]

Most of it is all from the CNC/water jet, but thanks!!

[Vteckidd]

yeah there was a 1800lb EF hatch making 230whp H2B running 12.2s on 22in slicks. he said he was only shifting at 8000, i couldnt tell if he was shifting to 4th or not.

It was pretty quick.

Yeah 12.6s on spray is garbage

[DustnU]

With no head work or bottom end work at all?????????? IHE only?? Not bad for a full interior car if you ask me. What did the crx run Last Sunday if you don't mind me asking?? Looks really good.

[Vteckidd]

I was referring to Jensons car not whoever youknow. If JENSONS CAR runs 12.6s he will kill people lol

[Boostedek]

[quote]


his name is nick he lives in valdosta about 5 hours south of atl.

yeah the car is super light it has nothing in it. it's a stock motor with a euro r mani blox b's and a nice header if i had to guess on power i would say 215 or 220

[Jenson]

Thats pretty light. My car is gutted, but will prolly still tip the scales at 2000lbs.

Yea, my car ran 13.9's with a B18C swap (IHE) and 12.9's with a 75 shot. My goal is to do 12.9's on slicks on the motor. Im sure your buddies car is fast for what it is, I wasnt trying to knock it or say it was slow. More of if my car runs 12.6's itd be slow, but a full weight street car, 12.6's is plenty quick for most people.


I feel I need to address an issue thats come up in PM's. An H2B swap is not a drop in, re-wire a couple things and go swap like a B series swap is.

When you buy an Evo or QSD kit, all that does is allow the motor to mate to the tranny properly and mount into the car in the proper location. Before you can drive the car though or even put the swap in you need to address the balance shaft pulley's, add a new drain plug, do something with the crank pulley, modify a header (or purchase a custom piece) and re-locate the altenator/beat -bang - cut the frame rail.

There are some cheap ways around all of this of course but do require some skill and labor. Now if your wanting a straight drop in H2B swap I can get you everything you need so that the only thing you need to do is re-wire your harness and add a resistor box if your changine to peak and hold injectors. Its kind of pricey compared to a normal QSD kit only because I have to buy the header and modify it.

Thanks for all the compliments, I should have some more progress very soon!!!

oh yeah man it's cool i didnt think you were i was just stating what he had to give a idea about the times he was running. i do know his car is super light and thats where most of his et is coming from.

hopefully everything goes well for you man maybe we can hookup at one of the events and makes some passes when you get it running right and my car is back together.

[Vteckidd]

im hopefully picking up Pr0Hondas 2.ol motor this week if i get time and get over this cold i have.

250whp NA here i come

[Jenson]

^^^bit by the bug again lol.

[southside]

im hopefully picking up Pr0Hondas 2.ol motor this week if i get time and get over this cold i have.

250whp NA here i come

I would like to see how that felt in a crx if ya didnt mind.LOL

[TheChosenOne]

Nasty! Super props on the fab work. :boobies:

[all-mota]

hell yeah man and if i can remeber correctly you can change the intake manifold and the throttle body and cams and pick up some more power man, didn't he only have pro 1's.



sorry jenson didn't mean to thread jack but the more nice all motor cars in ga the better lol

[Teg Boy]

good build man good luck

[teh_mugen18]

the more nice all motor cars in ga the better lol

I agree lol everyone wants to go boost, and its starting to annoy me personally.. Half of my friends want it, and don't even know why they want it other than the BOV sound it makes

[Jenson]

Im the last person to care about threadjacking, forums are for chatting imo.

First opp of mount is done, so much sexier than welded plate steel...and lighter.

[NoWAyItZTOMmY]

nice fab

[all-mota]

nice man

[MrSVT]

SImilar to the swap I'm doing thanks for tips!

[Da_unknown]

looking good jenson

[Black R]

holy shit that opp looks nice!

[DustnU]

Reps for that sweet Fab bro. Bump nice build. gl

[G.C]

So excited to see the finished product.
