my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

i finally got my hands on a digital cam so i got some pics of my progress, i just got the block back from the machine shop because they had to cut the channels for the o-ring deeper. then i painted it and clearanced the crank scrapper. still have to check rod clearances and then install the o ring. way more pics to come. maybe even a how to. till then heres where things stand

posted and block guard and o ring, why not just sleeve then ???

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

i hope you get the how to pics going. very intrested to see/read it

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

well lets see that costs $1000 when i can pay $40 for the edyne post kit, $75 for a block guard and $150 to have the o ring channel cut. all labor performed by me. so you do the math. this method will be more than enough to support my power goal of 300 safe and reliably

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

i think i will do one on the o-ringing process and the proper way to stretch rod bolts and measure, as there have been alot of misconception about this.

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

nice save your self alot of cash. make the do it your self on any thing you can at least id apreashate it

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

Looks like a solid setup.Nice to see people building ZC's.

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

zc's for teh win. the true under dog

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

Around here, I guess sleeving a Honda block costs only around $350.

Looks good though :)

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

well i checked the rod bearing clearances and they are tight as hell so these king bearings are goin in the trash and i have to buy oem because i don't want to line hone the rods again. kings are comparable to honda greens so they say, so i may step down to a honda yellow and plastigauge again.

then after all that work i had to make a late night run to popeyes(too much taco bell this week)

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

Ha ha sweet job assembling in the living room :y

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

check honda tech for bearing sizes so u dont go guessing

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

i had the chart saved in excel but my pc crashed so i can't find it. i'll check homo tech. thanx

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

o-ring was probably overkill, but hey at least you wont be popping headgaskets pretty much ever.

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

lol the living room is currently my garage since im renovating the real garage. i use the old junk couch to put parts on its a total mess :S but my gf puts up with it(what choice does she have)

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

I love IT!!!! :6

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

Looks good, but won't you need a bigger turbo for 300hp? 48/60 seems a bit small to me for 300hp.

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

start looking for a .63 housing

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

isnt .015-.02 where you want your clearances? ???

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

i know, im thinking about upgrading to a GT30R w/ a .63 turbine housing. but i want to atleast see how i like this one and whats its limits are. i'll get the bigger turbo when i switch to a top mount and add 550's to get to 300hp effortlessly

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

no,nominal rod bearing clearances are 0.0008-0.0015 with a service limit of 0.002 which would equal 0.0017 max allowable clearance. someone correct me if im wrong but im almost 80% sure. you can't really tell but the plastigauge is almost a hair over .001

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

hell yea, popeyes is the ----, the biscuits are the best

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

im liking the late night projects in the living room..

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

^ thanx ;) ,anyways i talked to earl from laskey who recommended going with pinks instead of yellow. so this will continue once i receive the bearings from majestic honda. i'd much rather do it right that to have this ---- slang a rod on the dyno or street.

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

i got some 550's i could sell ya from an rx7.

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

im gonna go with evo VIII injectors or rc 550s if not i may get back to you

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

ey brother, look nice your build.. i hope more pics :P

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

tomorrow amigo, ordered 1 pair of honda B pink rod bearings to see if they will give me .0012-.0015 oil clearance if so then i'll order the whole set. i hope these work because i need to finish this asap

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

got my honda pinks yesterday clearances are perfect so i'll order 6 more and get ---- movin. hopefully i'll get the rest by monday so i can button up the bottom and install the o-ring wire and begin installing the oil pump rear main,pcv system,head, etc.

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

Nice work , zc's are fun motors to build & boost
What are you using for management ?

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

yea can't till its done. im gonna be using crome pro. i may switch to hondata s300 later but for now this will do.......im poor :-\

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

ya im putting crowers in my b16 also and the clearances didnt like the greens.
I believe the crowers are modeled after the #1 rod.
So now im using 3 yellow sets and 1 pink.

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

with aftermarket rods they should all be uniform its your rod journals that have the differnce in clearance from one rod to the next. did you micro polish the crank?

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

my crank is CCCB for the rods
yellow yellow yellow pink

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

checked all the clearances again with the new honda pink bearings.everything is good. lube that bitch up lets go!http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/we...EzZGZkMzF5NTQx

roll it over a couple times and everything feels good.

on to o-ringing.

-heat the copper wire for 3 minutes @ 250 degrees this process is called annealing. this will make it more pliable and easier to manipulate.

-start at the very center of the intake side feed the wire into the channnel by hand http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/we...EzZGZkMzF5NTQx

-then gently tap the wire into the channel with the bottom of a hammer, i opted for my bling bling snap on hammer because of the rubber handle so it won't hurt the wire.http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/we...EzZGZkMzF5NTQx
http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/we...EzZGZkMzF5NTQx

-once you get it all into the channel and back around you need to snip it very close so the two ends touch but don't overlap. it has to be perfect and seemless. you will catch on after 2-3 tries. there MUST BE NO GAP OR OVERLAP of the wire. end cutters work best to cut the wirehttp://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/we...EzZGZkMzF5NTQx

-repeat for the other cylinders in the same order. your final product should look like this

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

dude im loven the step by step helps out alot ceap it comin

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

Looks great.That should be a real solid setup for boost.When is this beast going back in the car?

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

i hope to have everything complete by mid june. im playing hurry up and wait with the body shop so........... once i get my car back i can part the motor and swap the head on to here, i've already ported the head on the old motor and my arp head studs are in the old motor too so i'll swap those over. still have to get a water pump, t belt, some misc. orings and ----.

Re: my setup and build pics,will be update as i progress
 

one new pic. i think im going to jb weld a -10 an bung where the crankase ventilation hole is and run it to a catch can and the other bung on the catch can to the exh. slash cut. anyways still waiting on parts.
