Finished the build! *pic*
 

I figured I would add to the collection of builds on here.
D15B Vtec from a wrecked RHD civic that had 24xxx miles on it
Custom manifold (not some cheap junk)
AiResearch 42/48
2.5" downpipe to a 2.5" flex pipe to a 3" catco catalytic converter and then 3" all the way back to a 3" in/out muffler
Drag bar and plate intercooler
Greddy Type S
Tial knock off wastegate set at 8.7 psi. Open dump 8)
DSM 450cc's with Radio shack inline resistors
Chipped P28 running Uberdata and it has a basemap somewhat specific for my build. Datalogging too.
Function7 Oil line fittings
Stealthmode/Tuner Toys oil lines
1 step colder plugs
Ultra plug wires
VDO Boost/Oil Pressure Gauges.
Clutch Specialties 275hp pressure plate
Exedy copper kevlar clutch disk
Oh, and its all in a '93 civic hatch


UPDATE: Things are working much smoother since I did a couple of little things here and there and installed an external wastegate. Here is a pic of the build! The injector wiring is now covered.

Re: Alright, almost done with the build....now what?
 

Sounds like you have it all covered.Maybe pick up a new fuel filter but other than that take lots of pictures and post them.Make sure you have a extra set of wheels or someone to fdrive you over to the parts store as Im sure you'll need to run and grab some odds and ends.Good luck.

Re: Alright, almost done with the build....now what?
 

Uh as for timing leave it alone, the basemap should be good enough for now.

Re: Alright, almost done with the build....now what?
 

Any other advice or am I set?? ;D

Re: Alright, almost done with the build....now what?
 

yea get rid of that david spade picture

Re: Alright, almost done with the build....now what?
 

defintely leave the timing for uber

Re: Alright, almost done with the build....now what?
 

I figured I would just leave the timing alone for uber to play with but I just wanted to make sure that I had the timing set in the right position (the red mark??) When I had my engine shipped, I got it with some damage done to the dizzy and when I checked the timing it was way off so I just set it to that little red mark in between the other 2 markings.

Re: Finished the build! *pic*
 

i like the spacers in the exhaust studs.
saab t3 right?

Re: Finished the build! *pic*
 

haha, yeah...I didn't feel like cutting the bolts and rethreading them it at the time and it hasn't really given me a problem yet...as soon as it does I will be cutting them down to size. Came off of a saab 900.

Re: Finished the build! *pic*
 

Turned out pretty good.Is that manifold powder coated or just painted?It's pretty shiny.

Re: Finished the build! *pic*

Re: Finished the build! *pic*
 

---- that engine bay is clean O0

Re: Finished the build! *pic*
 

for 93, it doesnt get much cleaner than that. but wheres the build???

Re: Finished the build! *pic*
 

Why go one step colder on the plugs if you are running Uberdata?

Re: Finished the build! *pic*
 

Nice. Very clean. White EG hatches = love. ;) ;D

damn i could eat off that engine nice

Re: Finished the build! *pic*
 

The manifold is painted with Engine Enamel, some half decent product I found at a hardware store. When I was pulling the old engine out I scrubbed down the entire engine bay with a toothbrush and simple green...took a long time! I guess its just the turbo setup that I was considering the "build" but I plan to put some thicker rods and stiffer valve springs in sometime next year. On the spark plugs, I was originally using the stock plugs and had gapped them down to 28 but I was still getting a little bit of hesitation around 3500 rpm, so I put in some one step colder plugs and have not had any type of problem since. Thanks for the comments!
